Preserve the complete Tung Chung Fort site.

Address - Tung Chung Road, Lantau Island Environment - Feels like stepping back into the Qing Dynasty Features - A small fortress from the Qing Dynasty Price per person - Free admission Rating - 9 out of 10 Tung Chung Fort, dating back to 1832, was used between 1938 and 1940 and features walkable defensive walls. It once served as a temporary campus for Foshan Wah Ying Middle School, the Tung Chung Rural Committee, and became part of Tung Chung Public School, which closed in 2003 and has been abandoned since. The school buildings still retain the style of the Qing Dynasty, with an antique charm, making it a tourist attraction. However, despite the passage of time, the abandoned school buildings still have a somewhat eerie atmosphere, even in broad daylight. It is quite rare to find a complete city wall site preserved in the bustling city, and visitors can even walk around the wall. It's surprising to find such ancient city wall structures in Hong Kong.

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.
