Ammunition depots, anti-aircraft turrets, the British surrendered to the Japs after 450 killed
After fierce fighting continued on Hong Kong Island, the only reservoir was lost. 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”.

To Rock Carvings at Wong Chuk Hang 黄竹坑石刻的特色是有3组明显的回旋纹,状似动物的眼睛,亦有一说为雷纹,用以镇压水患。而石刻的特别之处,是深入内陆约1公里,不同于香港其他石刻位于海边。有估计指石刻发现之处,于新石器时代是临近海边的,但亦有指石刻下有小溪流经,仍可以算是接近水边.
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。
