Sai Wan Battery, Artillery battery in Chai Wan, Hong Kong.
The battery complex includes multiple gun emplacements, fortifications, and military structures positioned strategically along the eastern coastline of Hong Kong Island.
Constructed in 1903, the battery initially housed two 6-inch BL guns and later transformed into an anti-aircraft installation during the 1920s military modernization.
The battery stands as a testament to Hong Kong's colonial military heritage, demonstrating the evolution of coastal defense strategies from the Victorian era through World War II.
Access to Sai Wan Battery requires following marked trails through the park area, with visitors needing to bring water and sun protection for the outdoor exploration.
The battery's structures combine Victorian military architecture with adaptations for different weapons systems, from coastal artillery to anti-aircraft installations over five decades.
