Cape Collinson (Chinese: 歌連臣角), also Hak Kok Tau (黑角頭), is a cape located near Ngan Wan between Siu Sai Wan and Big Wave Bay at the eastmost point of Hong Kong Island.
The cape is named for Major-General Thomas Bernard Collinson (1821-1902), a Royal Engineers surveyor serving in Hong Kong and later in New Zealand who, then holding the rank of lieutenant, surveyed Hong Kong Island from 1843 to 1846.
[1][2] Cape Collinson Road runs from Chai Wan up the slope of Pottinger Peak to the east coast until it reaches south of the Cape Collinson Correctional Institution in Tso Tui Wan.
Right before reaching the east coast, the road intersects with the connection point of a hiking route[3] running south from Siu Sai Wan Promenade (via Leaping Dragon Walk) to Shek O Country Park and Big Wave Bay (via Pottinger Peak Country Trail[4]).
The cape is accessible within walking distance east from the Mass Transit Railway's Chai Wan station.
