Two Well/Water structures North West of Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel

Submitted by MikeB on Tue, 2021-10-26 15:13

We discovered a Ribbon Trail leading from Victoria Road at the end of Kennedy Town through the Kung Man Village Resettlement Village

all the way on a ridge to the Jockey Club Mr. Davis Youth Hostel. The recent Typhoon turned it into a machete wielding exercise but the path 

is pretty clear now to use. Approaching the Hostel we came across 2 dilapidated structures in the jungle. They appear to be some kind of water

installation with their well like appearance. 

Does anyone know what they were or when they were built/used? 

Mount Davis and Green Islands

Photo from 1954 showing Mount Davis, Green Island and Little Green Island. If you look closely, the boom across Victoria Harbour can be spotted.

The location where the photo was taken is not given. My guess is Lung Fu Shan Viewing Point.
