I recently explored the last of these three, way up on Devil's Peak. The area is quite accessible, only about a 25 minute walk from the Yau Tong train stop. Hardly any of the sprawling compound is closed or sealed off. Provided you have a decent flashlight and don't mind getting dirty and meeting some friendly subterranean reptiles, you too can crawl through foxholes once occupied by the British, Indian Rajputs and Japanese troops. What I really like about these areas is that they are not meant to be tourist attractions, just areas that seem to have been forgotten.

The "No War Game" sign got me to thinking; I very well might get in trouble for not observing the signs around those structures.
Do you feel like an archaeologist when you visit places like this? Sometimes I get the urge to wear a Indiana Jones hat when "discovering" seemingly lost or forgotten places.
Nice pics, looks like fun. Good thing you won't be incarcerated in a Chinese prison for playing war game.
See what I want to know is what do they consider War Game? As kids, I could see us going up there and setting up some pretty sweet GI Joe scenes.
