Everything tagged: The Peak

Go Wah Mansion (高華大廈), not to be confused with Ko Wah Building (高華樓), is located at No. 285-295A Lockhart Road in Wanchai whereas the latter is located at No. 67-69 Percival Street in Causeway Bay. The first two Chinese characters of the name of these two buildings are identical. 

The occupation permit of Go Wah Mansion was issued in 1964. The ground floor and the first floor are for commercial use while the 13 stories above are for residential use.

Sitting alone in the vegetation and well visible from the road. I couldnt find any old buildings at the location online. Maybe somebody can shed some light? 

Hi There,

Spotted this in early May 2020.  The marker is of the road side I took.  It is a bit off from the stone itself.  Look for the HL 29 plaque on the left hand side of Harlech Road, then look up.  There you have it.

Mount Austin (i.e. the massif within the loop of Lugard and Harlech roads) has a number, I would say four, of slightly lower peaks in the immediate vicinity of its summit. None of these subsiduary peaks have distinguishing names as far as I am aware, which can lead to confusion when attempting to identify or describe specific locations ontop of "The Peak".

This "place" marker is for the most south-easterly of these subsiduary peaks.
