Pak Sha Wan Battery, Military fortification in Eastern District, Hong Kong.
The Pak Sha Wan Battery contains three gun emplacements, ammunition magazines, and an observation post positioned along the northeastern shoreline of Hong Kong Island.
Constructed in 1903, the battery initially housed four 12-pounder guns, which were later replaced with three 6-inch breech-loading guns during the 1910 military upgrades.
The battery represents British colonial military engineering and stands as evidence of Hong Kong's coastal defense network from the early twentieth century.
The battery grounds remain closed to public access, but visitors can view the exterior structures from the nearby Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence.
During the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941, the battery successfully repelled an attack by 100 Japanese soldiers before its eventual surrender.
