Bokhara Battery, Artillery battery in Cape D'Aguilar, Hong Kong
The coastal defense structure features two gun emplacements situated on a strategic position overlooking the South China Sea at Cape D'Aguilar's eastern point.
Built in 1941, the battery contained two 9.2-inch guns transferred from Pottinger Battery, but its crew destroyed the installation during the Japanese invasion in December 1941.
The Grade II historic building represents Hong Kong's military architecture and serves as a testament to British colonial defensive structures along the coastline.
Visitors can reach the battery site by taking bus number 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR station to Cape D'Aguilar, followed by a walk along coastal paths.
The battery's remnants stand within the Cape D'Aguilar Marine Reserve, combining military heritage with protected marine ecosystems.
