Leighton Hill

This article is about a hill in Happy Valley, Hong Kong. For the private housing estate in Leighton Hill, see The Leighton Hill.

Leighton Hill (Chinese: 禮頓山) is a hill between Causeway Bay and Happy Valley, and the south of Leighton Road, Hong Kong. There were several air-raid shelters at the downhill of Leighton Hill to protect Victoria City from Japanese occupation during the Battle of Hong Kong in World War II.[1][2] Now, a private housing estate with the same name as the hill is built.[3]
