This heritage trail lies within Lung Fu Shan Country Park, where you can explore a century-old battery complex along a 400-metre route. On the eve of the First World War, the British garrison in Hong Kong planned to build batteries on the northwestern heights of Hong Kong Island to strengthen the western approaches against possible incursions by France and Russia. Construction of the battery began in 1901 on the 307-metre heights of Lung Fu Shan, commanding views over the entire western district of Hong Kong Island. As the threat of air attack grew, Pinewood Battery was converted into an anti-aircraft battery, with a command post, an observation post, and multiple shelters added; its enemy shifted to Japan. The battery bore witness to changes in military technology and forms a page in Hong Kong’s wartime history. During the Japanese attack on Hong Kong in December 1941, the battery suffered repeated air raids; the garrison withdrew, and the scene of devastation from that day can still be seen on site. Although the guns themselves were long removed, the remains of the gun platforms, command post, observation post, war shelters, and latrine have survived in remarkably complete condition. From the hilltop, looking out over western Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour, visitors can read the interpretation panels by the ruins and reflect on that chapter of Hong Kong’s wartime past.
