Ho Tung Gardens
Ho Tung Gardens, also known by its Cantonese name 'Hiu Kok Yuen', was a villa on the Peak, Hong Kong, China. It was built by Robert Hotung and his wife Clara in 1927. They referred to it as "The Falls", but it later became known as Ho Tung Gardens.
In 2011, it was listed as a Grade I historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB). Invoking the relevant section of the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance for the fourth time in history, it was declared a "proposed historic monument" by the Government of Hong Kong in 2011.〔 Negotiations between the owner and the government to save the mansion failed, and demolition work was completed in October 2013.
== Etymology ==
While the property is known by the name of 'Ho Tung Gardens' in Chinese (何東花園) after its original owner, the property's alternative given Chinese name is "''Hiu Kok Yuen''" (曉覺園) – an amalgam of names of Ho and his second wife, Clara. Hotung's alternative Chinese name Hiu-sang (何曉生); his wife was Cheung Lin-kok (何張蓮覺).〔("Historic Building Appraisal, Ho Tung Gardens" ), Item 38, ''Brief Information on Proposed Grade I Items'', Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Hong Kong〕
