Shing Mun Redoubt, Military redoubt in Hong Kong.

The Shing Mun Redoubt contains multiple gun emplacements, concrete walls, observation posts, and underground tunnels integrated into the hillside terrain.

British forces constructed this defensive fortification in the late 1930s as part of the Gin Drinkers Line to protect Hong Kong from potential invasions.

The redoubt stands as a testament to Hong Kong's wartime experience, with its tunnels named after London streets to help British soldiers navigate.

Visitors can access the redoubt through marked hiking trails, with the main entrance located near the Shing Mun Reservoir access road.

The fort's underground network includes a complex system of tunnels connecting different combat positions, with original directional signs still visible on the walls.
