Wong Nai Chung Gap Road is a road in Wan Chai District and Southern District, located within Wong Nai Chung Gap within Hong Kong.
The road was built at the strategic pass on Hong Kong Island, named Wong Nai Chung Gap. It was a key road leading from Victoria Harbour towards Stanley and Wong Chuk Hang through this Gap before continuing along Repulse Bay Road down towards the south. It was the site of a major engagement during the Battle of Hong Kong during World War II. [1] [2]
The usage of the road decreased following the opening of the Aberdeen Tunnel, but is now a popular starting point for hikers hiking on the Wong Nai Chung Trail, Wilson Trail or towards Tai Tam. [3]
Roads are listed north to south.
