The Wilson Trail stretches from south to north across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. Section 3 marks the starting point in Kowloon, blending the war relics of Devil’s Peak, expansive sea views, and tranquil rural landscape. Devil’s Peak was formerly called “Kai Po Shan”. During the Qing Dynasty, it was once occupied by pirates, degenerating into a den of vice and earning the local name “Peak of Demons”, later transited from the English  “Devil’s Peak” to its current name in Chinese. Along the way, you can detour to visit the Gough Battery, graded as a grade II historic building, and catch distant views of the redoubt at the summit. The batteries and redoubt on Devil’s Peak were built in the early 1900s to guard the eastern entrance to Victoria Harbour. Although the years of war have long passed, the ring-shaped battery still remains. The central section ascends Black Hill, the highest point of the entire route, offering panoramic views of Tseung Kwan O. The later part then enters Ma Yau Tong, Au Tau and Tseng Lan Shue, transitioning into lush green rural paths with a unique charm.
