Name

It is named for former administrator Major General Wilsone Black, a British Army officer in the 19th century.

Geography

Black Hill has several major peaks.[1] It lies on the boundary between Kowloon and New Territories. To the south of Black Hill lies another hill called Chiu Keng Wan Shan. Parts of Lam Tin are built on the foot of Black Hill.

Access

There is no road access to the summit of this hill, so cars cannot reach the peak. A recent wildfire in December 2019 had made the trails on this mountain sandy and loose. A large part of the trail on this mountain is rocky and may not be suitable for beginning hikers.

Infrastructure

The Tseung Kwan O line of the Mass Transit Railway passes through tunnels below Black Hill to enter Tseung Kwan O New Town at Tiu Keng Leng from Yau Tong.

The Tseung Kwan O Tunnel connects Kwun Tong to Po Lam in the Tseung Kwan O area. Parts of the new Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel will also traverse this mountain.
