Shing mun redoubt

Background of Shing mun redoubt

Shing Mun Redoubt is one of the Grade II historic buildings in Hong Kong. It is located at the south of Shing Mun Reservoir.


It was built in 1938 used as the defensive line, called Gin Drinkers Linein, against the Japanese invasion  during World War II in 1941. However, Shing Mun Redoubt fell after just 2 days during the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941.

Interestingly, we can still find some defensive structures at Shing Mun Redoubt.
