Tung Chung Battery

If you’re into history, head to this heritage site for a detour to one of the oldest parts of Hong Kong. It allows you to witness a former artillery battery which was built in 1817, 24 years before the British took over Hong Kong! It’s the ideal spot to lay back on the grassy surface and wind down for a bit.

How to get there: Head out from MTR exit B, cross the water fountain and keep walking until you reach the main road (you’ll see the Tung Chung Swimming Pool right opposite you). Don’t cross the road, but continue walking on your left, until you reach Shun Tung Road, cross the road here and you’ll see stairs going up right ahead. Hike up the mini hill (it’s not long at all) and when you descend, you’ll find the battery on your right!
