Hidden Gem in Hong Kong: A Scenic Hike to Cape Collinson Battery 🔥

🏛 Historical Background

Cape Collinson Battery was built by the British Army in 1938 as a key coastal defense facility in Hong Kong.

During the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong, the battery was damaged, and years of exposure to the elements shaped its current ruins.

Today, remnants of the battery remain, offering visitors a glimpse into its military history.
