Sau Mau Ping Memorial Park, Memorial park in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Sau Mau Ping Memorial Park is an urban park in the Kwun Tong District of Hong Kong, dedicated to the memory of those killed in a landslide. It sits at the corner of Tsui Ping Road, Hiu Kwong Street, and Hiu Ming Street, with walking paths, open ground, and seating areas spread across the site.
The park was established in 1977 on the site of the Sau Mau Ping Resettlement Area, where a landslide in 1972 killed 71 people. That event led the territory to rethink how it managed slopes and hillsides across Hong Kong.
The name of the park refers directly to the Sau Mau Ping area where the 1972 disaster took place, keeping that memory present in the neighborhood. Each year, residents gather here for memorial events that bring the community together around a shared moment of loss.
The park is open at all times and can be reached on foot from nearby bus stops in the area. The ground is flat and easy to walk through, making a short visit possible at any time of day.
The 1972 landslide at this spot directly led to the creation of a government office dedicated to monitoring and managing slopes across Hong Kong. The methods developed by that office were later adopted in other parts of the world as a reference for slope safety.
