Ruin
Locate is approximate but you should be able to see artificial shapes in Google Earth. I marked it (C) because it was the third pit that I visited. I did not go into this one, but it is not blocked by bushes. It is wide in the open, with some concrete in the middle.

Japanese Tunnel
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the find! We went to visit the site on one sunny day the following year. The concrete platform was clearly in sight now with the weather cleared up. Maybe it was built for the radar equipment or one of those antennas. To our surprise, we also noticed there is a Japanese tunnel nearby, and it is the hidden opening to the left of the picture.
Inside is a 7 to 8-meter deep tunnel with a rather spacious side chamber near the entrance, which looks more like a typical blast chamber layout design at the time.
Another angle looking back and facing the entrance.
Re: Not recommended for cloudy/misty days
Hi there,
For potential visitors, the sites in general, should not be visited when Tai Mo Shan is in the clouds. Some of the sites had a drop of about two metres or a bit more at their upper edges. When we were there back then, visibility was very bad. It could be at arms length to just about five metres.
Generally speaking, if you stick to visible foot paths (which we did), you should be safe unless you accidentally slipped sideways.
Don't go alone. Walk slowly and at least get one companion. Local mobile services might not be available at some places there.
