[2025 Hong Kong Stay] Travel Guide for YHA Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel (Hong Kong Island) (Updated Jun)

Mount Davis is located on a small hill at the western end of Hong Kong Island, 260 meters above sea level. It is located south of Kennedy Town and north of Pok Fu Lam, close to Green Island and Little Green Island, separated by the Sulphur Channel. There are many military relics left over from the Second World War. From the mountain, you can enjoy the sea view and sunset to the west of Hong Kong Island. The view is very beautiful. In addition to seeing the big and small Qingzhou across the Sulphur Channel, you can also see many outlying islands, including: Lamma Island, Cheung Chau, Hei Ling Chau, Chow Kung Island, Ping Chau and Lantau Island, etc.! Mount Davis Fort was established in the early 20th century and is the headquarters of the Hong Kong Island West Firing Command. In the mid-1930s, two of the fort's 9.2-inch guns were moved to Stanley to strengthen the defence of southern Hong Kong Island. When the Japanese army attacked Hong Kong in 1941, the fort was heavily bombarded and the defenders destroyed the fort's military facilities before surrendering. The current fort ruins consist of five groups of artillery positions, the Hong Kong Island West Fire Command Headquarters, a powder magazine and barracks. The battery has now been rated as a Grade II historic building. This time, the hike to Mount Davis was mainly to visit military relics and enjoy the mountain scenery. The whole journey took about 3 hours to complete! Small thoughts: The remains of the Mount Davis Fort are mainly distributed in various places on the top of the mountain. They are relatively fragmented and hidden, and need to be carefully found and excavated. Usually there is a small path leading to a site. It feels like an adventure, but it also feels like you will get lost! Personally, I feel that the military ruins at Mount Davis have a sense of mystery and adventure. The places where the sun doesn’t shine are indeed chilling. It seems that the “haunted zone” and “one of the top ten haunted places in Hong Kong” are not in vain!

This time we introduce a relatively easy hiking route - Mount Moss, all cement road, although the road is up the mountain, but the distance is not long Mount Moss Hill is the westernmost peak of Hong Kong Island Get off at the Moss Hill Bus Terminal, go up the hill on the Moss Hill Trail next to the bus stop, walk towards the youth dormitory, and walk the road to reach the summit easily. If you want to challenge yourself, you can leave via another path to Kennedy Town, looking for the Friends of Mount Morningside Trail to reach the Kennedy Town Water Supply Reservoir, with a basketball court and football field and toilets, however there are some more rugged paths along the way so be aware. #Hiking Route Recommendation #Outdoor Good Places

#CampingRecommendation #SeaviewRoom In the hot summer, do not play camping instead of playing camping, pretending to be a young man staying in a hostel, it turned out to be ok, stayed in the #Mosin Ridge Youth Hostel quite fun, facing the #invincible sea view, feels like traveling. The biggest difference between the campsite and the hotel is that there is no separate toilet, but you can share the kitchen, dining room, and leisure space. If a large group of people go, it doesn't really matter. Mount Morningside Youth Hostel is fasting, 𥚃 face no any play facilities, 4pm check in 11am check out, nearby areas we played outside and went back to sleep, the next morning early to play, so not a place to hea. There are some places to visit nearby, such as Mount Morrison Fortress, University of Hong Kong University Hall, Pokfulam Reservoir, Falls Bay, Digital Harbor, etc. We visited several attractions for two days and one night. #daydayplay #Hong Kong Parent-Child Good Place #Parent-Child Good Place #Parent-Child Blogger #Parent-Child Activity #Nature #Parent-Child Time #Parent-Child Travel #Hong Kong Photo Spot #Hong Kong Photo Spot #Hong Kong Photo Hotspot #Hong Kong Photo Holy Land #local tour #high altitude viewing #hotelcation #family good places #hiking #parent good places guide
