Cape Collinson Battery, Artillery battery in Eastern District, Hong Kong
The coastal fortification contains multiple gun emplacements and observation points positioned along the eastern shoreline of Hong Kong Island, facing the Tathong Channel.
The military installation was constructed in the late nineteenth century as part of Hong Kong's strategic defense network to protect maritime routes from naval threats.
The battery represents a significant example of British colonial military engineering, reflecting the architectural and defensive methods utilized during Hong Kong's development.
Visitors can reach the battery by taking the MTR to Chai Wan station and following the marked hiking trails eastward along Cape Collinson Road.
An ancient rock carving discovered in 2018 near the battery, positioned 11 meters above sea level, received designation as a declared monument of Hong Kong.
