Gun Club Hill Barracks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gun Club Hill Barracks (Chinese: 槍會山兵房 or 槍會山軍營) are barracks in King's Park, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was the camp of British Army during British rule in Hong Kong and after 1st July 1997 it is garrisoned by People's Liberation Army. The barracks are bounded by Austin Road, Jordan Path, Gascoigne Road and Chatham Road South. Within the camp is the Hospital of Gun Club Hill Barracks of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Hong Kong, which was completed around 1997.

The barracks was built some time after 1860 when the British acquired Kowloon. The origins of the barracks' name is unknown, but it was likely named for a gun club or the King's Park gun range.
