Japanese Wartime Tunnels (Double Pipe) on Chiu Keng Wan Shan (Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery) [c.1944- ] [????- ]

Submitted by ChenQiao on

This tunnel is the largest of the three I visited today. From video 2:03 you may find trenches, the long trenches are still easily recognizable, surrounding the hills, and the entrance of this tunnel is connected to this trench.

This is the shortest and smallest of the three tunnels on Chiu Keng Wan Shan. It is a dead end with a small room near the entrance, a stone bed is embedded in the room.

The video part for this tunnel starts at 0:30. Sorry for the camera issues you may have to rotate your necks (left 90 degrees) to view it comfortably.

Japanese Tunnel at Black Point [????- ]

Submitted by KrisM on

I was doing a bit of unrelated research when I came across an interesting EIA report (https://www.epd.gov.hk/eia/register/report/eiareport/eia_1252006/html/ex...). It seems that back in 2006 there was a plan to build a Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) receiving terminal at Black Point (https://goo.gl/maps/eTRsMMFojdxTUNu2A), though it appears to have been subsequently abandoned.

Chi Ma Wan tunnel [????- ]

Submitted by hkoutdooradventures on

I did not know that there were WW2 tunnels in Lantau, but this looks like one. Relatively small with only one entrance L shaped. Next to Temple South crag with good command over the coastline below. The other option is that it is a mine prospect. No records of it in the maps checked, for example this one in the industrialhk web.

Japanese Tunnel at Golden Hill [c.1944- ]

Submitted by HighlandPaddyHK on

Twenty metres below the summit of Golden Hill on the north side is a large Japanese tunnel network comparable to that found on Smuggler's Ridge. There are several entrances and at least two loopholes with brickwork to fire on attackers climbing up from below. Some sections have filled in and at least one rockfall was noted, but otherwise the tunnels are clean.

Japanese Tunnel in Pinewood Battery Area Lung Fu Shan [c.1943- ]

Submitted by ChenQiao on

This tunnel is close to the unpaved trail leading up to Pinewood Battery Heritage Trail. The entrance is immediately visible when you walk by. It is a small tunnel with only one entrance, and turns right with a dead end. There is a pair of light holders (are they?) made on both sides of the walls in the right branch.

Japanese Tunnel Above Governers Walk near Two Gated Caves [c.1942- ]

Submitted by ChenQiao on

This is a small tunnel with two entrances above Governer's Walk below Victoria Peak Pagoda. It is located near the larger gated cave (Left): Gated Tunnel on Governors Walk, below Victoria Peak Pagoda. I was actually guessing that they might be connected, but it turned out the left branch of the gated cave is a dead end despite directing towards this tunnel.
