These were dug into the hillsides in built-up areas of Hong Kong and Kowloon, before the Japanese invasion in 1941.
Below are the tunnels we've documented so far. (Subscribers, you may need to view this on the website to see the list).

Air Raid Tunnels
My father, Ivan Atroshenko, was employed by Marsman as a supervisor in the construction of air raid shelters in Hong Kong before WW2. The company reserved one of their shelters for their senior staff and families, and that is where our family sheltered during the actual invasion of Hong Kong by the Japanese. It was on Hong Kong Island.
