【Lantau Island】Tung Chung Fort: A Cultural Outing into the Fort and into History

#SpringGoodDestinations2024 Why not take a trip through time and space in spring? Tung Chung Fort is located in Ha Ling Pi Village, Tung Chung, Lantau Island. It is also known as Tung Chung Fort or Tung Chung Walled City. It was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. In its early years, it was the headquarters of the navy to prevent opium trade and piracy. The fort has arches on the east, west and north sides. From the city wall, you can see six cannons standing majestically on it. Despite the passage of time, you can still feel the historical charm of the old city. During the outing, you can feel the pulse of history and appreciate the stories behind the fort. It is a great place for a spring outing.

Tung Chung Battery

The small battery in Tung Chung; During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent the opium trade and pirate invasions, the Qing navy at that time upgraded the nearby Dapeng Camp to Dapeng Association. It was completed in 1832 (some say 1817) and was equipped with 6 cannons to control sea traffic. In 1898, Britain leased the New Territories and the fort was abandoned. It was used as the temporary school building of Foshan Huaying Middle School from 1938 to 1940; the Tung Chung Rural Committee later became part of the Tung Chung Public School site. Tung Chung Public School was closed in 2003. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the fort was rebuilt by the Japanese army. After the reconstruction of the fort, the site of the fort was used as a police station. The site of the fort was declared a statutory monument in Hong Kong on August 24, 1979 and was fully renovated in 1988. It now serves as the Tung Chung Rural Committee Office and Exhibition Hall as well as the Tung Chung Chamber of Commerce Office.
