Shouson Hill, a serene and exclusive residential retreat on Hong Kong Island’s south side, perched between Aberdeen and Deep Water Bay, harmoniously blends historic prestige with lush natural splendor. Its winding lanes are framed by verdant hillsides and low-density estates, while panoramic sea views, private gardens, and tranquil trails reveal a neighbourhood of understated elegance. Shouson Hill attracts high-net-worth families, professionals, and nature enthusiasts who cherish privacy without forgoing connectivity to the city’s pulse.

Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station (South Island Line) serves as the primary gateway—Exit A connects to minibuses and taxis for the short uphill journey. Buses like Route 260 from Central (via Admiralty) or 41A/76 traverse the Aberdeen Tunnel and drop off at Deep Water Bay Road. Green minibuses (Route 5) link Aberdeen, Wong Chuk Hang, and Shouson Hill to Happy Valley and Causeway Bay. Taxis are readily available, and while the area’s hilly terrain favours driving or rides, walking along shaded paths is ideal for local exploration.

Shouson Hill embodies Hong Kong’s illustrious colonial and Chinese heritage. Named after Sir Shouson Chow (1861–1959), a pioneering businessman and politician born in nearby Wong Chuk Hang San Wai village, who became the first Chinese knighted by the British Empire in 1926 and the inaugural Chinese unofficial member of the Executive Council, the area evolved from rural farmlands into an elite residential haven post-World War II.
