Hiking the Hong Kong Trail, p.1

Jardine's Lookout - behind and above Happy Valley, was the site of the Winnipeg Grenadiers last attempt to defend Hong Kong against the Japanese during WW2. Not successful. The views are amazing of course, and hidden in the hilly jungle brush are pillboxes and camouflaged gun emplacements, ghostly reminders of what were no doubt terrible days. Not ones to ponder over war memorials, however, many of the sites have been paved over for roads and petrol stations...very Hong Kong minded practicality!
