I remember reading somewhere a reference to some bunkers on Ap Lei Chau (Aberdeen Island as it was known). So I took a look about and think that I found them. At the far end of the Island you have South Horizons then Ap Lei Chau estate, where there is a small path (behind the Fire station) leading down to waterfront opposite Aberdeen, along which I took the following photo’s. They have all been blocked up and some rapscallions have sprayed graffiti everywhere, but they do look consistent to other bunkers

I wonder what the bunkers were used for? Maybe they were connected with the battery that T describes?

Hi there,

According to a book printed in Chinese about Hong Kong marine and costal defences that particular bunker is part of the Aberdeen Battery.

Best Regards,
