The pillboxes on Devil’s Peak were constructed by “British Forces Overseas Hong Kong” to guard the eastern access to Victoria Harbour. Although the fort had been removed a long time ago, the circular pillbox, which has remained intact, is still attractive. The fort on the peak, which is not far away, is the gateway to an even wider view, making it an ideal sunset spot. Black Hill, the highest point of this section, commands Tseung Kwan O, whereas Tseng Lan Shue oozes yet another type of charm. (Source: Enjoy Hiking by AFCD)
