Victoria Gap Electric Substation, Grade III historic electric substation in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
The Victoria Gap Electric Substation is a metal and concrete industrial facility located above the city along hiking trails near Victoria Peak. The facility still distributes power while its reinforced exterior is visible from the path.
The facility was built in 1928 and was part of Hong Kong's early effort to power a growing city. This period marked the shift from basic power grids to modern distribution systems.
The building shows how the city preserves its technical past by keeping old power lines in use today. The structure sits along a route where hikers pass by and see the industrial side of Hong Kong.
The site is easily reached via hiking trails from Victoria Peak and sits on a popular trekking route. Visitors can photograph the exterior from the nearby path but should respect its active operating status.
The building sits at one of the highest points in central Hong Kong and was harder to reach in earlier times than it is now. Its location makes it an unexpected industrial spot that hikers discover while walking, rather than a planned visit.
