Hi There,

While walkinga long the refurbished foot path away from Emplacement two toward the stairs of the Sunset Pavilion, right at the intersection there seemed to be a marker made of crude concrete.  I could not make up any marking though.  Marker is approximate.  Will try to refine position next time.

Whoever walking by are welcome to verify.

British stone marker stating the 114'30" E boundary at sea dated 1902 [1902-2007]

The marker is approximate.  However for the accuracy of the then Royal Navy Engineers/Survayers I am pretty sure the stone used to sit exactly on the 114'30" E longitude.

Thanks for JW for this piece of Old News.  Back in 2007 archeologists in Shenzhen had discover this stone marker at the tip of the Xichong (西沖)。 It was the boundary marker setup by the British for the seaward boundary concerning the taking (or lease, depends on how you look at it) of the New Territories.
