Mount Davis was an important British artillery depot during World War II. There are always rumor that people still see British or Japanese armies around there. It is one of the most haunted places in Hong Kong.
We started from Kennedy Town and then went up via Kennedy Town Fresh Water Service Reservoir this time. However, this uphill route isn't a regular trail. There is no proper sign along the uphill route. We mainly relied on the ribbons that tied up by other hikers. We nearly went into a wrong way as we were not paying much attention to the "signs". So, always look up on the trees for ribbon markers to ensure you are on the right way. This uphill route is quite rocky with uneven surface. There are also muddy paths, bushes, steep slopes...It is not advised to go if you are lack of hiking experiences, or you may consider to go via Mount Davis Path.
Length: Around 2km
Duration: 2 hours
Remarks: Remember to apply proper mosquito repellent. Protect the historical buildings on the hill. This uphill route is not suitable for beginners.
