Mount Davis, Hong Kong
Mount Davis is an area surrounding and including the westernmost hill on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Home to mostly luxury residences, Mount Davis was originally settled after the construction of Victoria Road, Hong Kong by prominent Hong Kong families who were unable to live on Peak due to racially-based colonial restrictions.〔http://webb-site.com/codocs/HillDistrictReservationOrdinance.pdf〕
It is named after John Francis Davis, who was the 2nd Governor of Hong Kong, from 1844 to 1848.
The summit is reached via Mt Davis Path, which comes off Mt Davis Road and Victoria Road.
==History==
It was an important artillery depot of the British forces since 1911 (proposed in 1900). 5 (later 3) 9.2" guns were installed. It was heavily bombed by Japanese planes during the Battle of Hong Kong. The depot was later demolished by British defenses towards the end of the battle.
