This article needs some work

[edit]

I've copy edited it but it still needs consideration for appropriate content, and some references.

The statement "It is probably where the British took the name for the colony of Hong Kong" is wrong, to the best of my knowledge, as it was nearby Aberdeen that gave rise the name 'Hong Kong' (see Aberdeen_Harbour).

The WWI and WWII section contained this unclear passage (now removed pending clarification):

The bunkers are now abandoned and run down. In the early 20th century, locals who owned workshops and such were evacuated to the area in the circumstance of an air assault from the Axis Powers. In the end, this idea was a failure because when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, they infiltrated small communities including: Repulse Bay and Shouson Hill.

Does this evacuation refer to WWII or 'early 20C'? And does 'in the circumstance of' mean 'in case of' or 'in the event of'? What does infiltrated mean here?

Perhaps Normalchaos can respond, as he/she seems to have done much of the early work on this page. Thanks for that. Earthlyreason (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
