Devil's Peak, Hong Kong

[1] The communities of Tiu Keng Leng, Lei Yue Mun and Yau Tong surround this peak.

Devil's Hill faces the narrow Lei Yue Mun Channel, where you can watch the ships coming from the east of Victoria Harbour.

[2] The area around the peak was garrisoned by the British Army in the 20th century and prior to that, by local pirates in the 19th century to control the passage of Lei Yue Mun, an important nautical passage that leads to Victoria Harbour.

The hill extends its ridge south to water in Lei Yue Mun and north to another peak called Chiu Keng Wan Shan.

Section 3 of The Wilson Trail runs through the foot of Devil's Peak and can be reached from Tiu Keng Leng or Yau Tong via cemetery roads.
