Mountain Lodge, Former governor residence on Victoria Peak, Hong Kong.

Two successive residences occupied the mountain site, featuring stone foundations and architectural elements influenced by Scottish lodge designs.

The initial Mountain Lodge from 1867 underwent multiple repairs due to typhoon damage before being replaced by a second structure between 1900 and 1902.

The residence functioned as a social gathering point for colonial administrators and their guests during Hong Kong's British governance period.

The elevated location at Victoria Peak provided governors with natural temperature reduction during summer months compared to Central District.

Archaeological excavations in 2007 revealed structural remains of the second Mountain Lodge beneath Victoria Peak Garden's current grounds.
