How to get there

The image was taken from Devil's Peak Top Battery with a view of the Lei Yue Mun Estate and city skyline. I stood just before the stone ledge looking west to get this view. To get here, take the MTR Kwun Tong (Green Line) to Yau Tong station and exit from A1 into Domain Mall. Go up the escalators to the mall’s ground floor and then find the Tai Hing restaurant at the end of the ground floor. From here, exit the mall onto Ko Chiu Road. Continue walking up Ko Chiu Road for a few minutes until you reach a curve in the sidewalk leading you up a hill. There will be a sign pointing to the hill that reads, “Chinese Permanent Cemetery.” Follow the paved road and start walking up the hill. About 10-15 mins into the paved hike, you'll see a sign saying "Wilson Trail" to your left. Cross the road, and walk up the steps toward the trail. Take the trail going left and follow the signs, and the GPS coordinates, for Devil’s Peak Top Battery.
