HK HIKE : CAPE COLLINSON BATTERY | SHORT AND EASY | SOLO HIKE | ROCK CLIMBING SPOT | JOY WANDERS HK

This hike is located between Siu Sai Wan and Big Wave Bay, Cape Collinson is a cape—a.k.a. headland or promontory—on the eastern end of Hong Kong Island overlooking Tathong Channel. It’s named after Major-General Thomas Bernard Collinson, who produced the first scientifically surveyed maps of Hong Kong for the British. Fun fact: Collinson was the first person to officially record the names of notable areas like Wan Chai, Quarry Bay, and Pok Fu Lam. During the Second World War—1938, to be exact—the British constructed two batteries to be used by the 36th Coast Battery and the 8th Coast Regiment Royal Artillery to defend Hong Kong Island’s eastern coast. Three years later, the army ordered for the battery to be destroyed and relocated the regiment to Stanley. While the batteries were partially demolished, they are still intact enough to explore and have since become a popular photo spot with hikers and rock-climbers. Distance: 2.5 kilometres Difficulty: Beginner Total ascent: 130 metres approx. Duration: 1 hour How to get there 1. Take the Island MTR line to Chai Wan Station (Exit C). 2.
