Jat's Incline has become one of our regular walks, and I'd noticed it has a marker stone a short distance uphill from the temple. The stone is down at bottom left in this view, and the yellow-coloured rock in the distance is part of the temple. <Read more ...>
I found this stone on Beacon Hill today; and the obvious question is: what is this? The markings are heavily weathered, though in the short time I had to look at it I could make up the number "1902", I guess that's the year the stone was created.
Location: N 22° 20.875 E 114° 10.110, just off Lung Yan Road. <Read more ...>
Some kind of border stone found on Beacon Hill, right next to the road, near the top. On the stone I can find the weathered marking "1902", I assume this is the year. The rest of the markings I could not recognise, and as my friends wanted to move on I did not have time to study it in detail.
I think the stone marks some kind of border, considering the location I think this may be the northern border of Hong Kong. <Read more ...>
The marker is approximate. However for the accuracy of the then Royal Navy Engineers/Survayers I am pretty sure the stone used to sit exactly on the 114'30" E longitude.
Thanks for JW for this piece of Old News. Back in 2007 archeologists in Shenzhen had discover this stone marker at the tip of the Xichong (西沖)。 It was the boundary marker setup by the British for the seaward boundary concerning the taking (or lease, depends on how you look at it) of the New Territories. <Read more ...>
After seeing those in Sai Kung I believe this is very likely trenches. First locate the 25 Marker Stone and look around for the trenches which run along the North Easte slope of Peel Rise.
