Canadian Winnipeg Grenadiers fought at the crucial Wong Nai Chung Gap that secured the passage between Victoria, Hong Kong and secluded southern sections of the island. Finally defeated, on 25 December 1941, British colonial officials headed by the Governor of Hong Kong Mark Aitchison Young surrendered at the Japanese headquarters. To the local people, the day was known as “Black Christmas”.

Rock carving 推斷是4000年前的新石器時代由先民刻鑿。石刻呈幾何紋,有三組明顯的回旋紋,狀似動物眼睛,有專家將此石刻歸類為「饕餮紋」,即猛獸的圖騰,推斷可鎮壓水患。 Aberdeen Fire Station Cum Ambulance Depot 香港仔消防局暨救護站 Ocean Park Station 海洋公園站
