What echoes linger at the Kau Wa Keng Range? This unassuming hill in Tuen Mun holds a secret history. We stand before Kau Wa Keng Range, not just a geographical feature, but a silent sentinel of Hong Kong’s past. Kau Wa Keng Range witnessed a pivotal moment during the Ming dynasty. From 1368 to 1644, it served as a strategic defense point against invaders. The Portuguese, who had briefly occupied nearby Tuen Mun, were a particular threat. The Kau Wa Keng Range stood as a bulwark against their advances. Imagine the scene. Ming soldiers, perched atop the hill, keeping a watchful eye on the coastline. The fate of Hong Kong hung in the balance. Today, the Kau Wa Keng Range stands as a testament to this struggle. It whispers tales of resistance and resilience. A reminder of the battles fought to protect this land. Though now disused as a rifle range, its strength remains. It is etched into the landscape, a silent guardian of Hong Kong’s heritage.
