Mount Davis is a hill in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It is the westernmost hill on Hong Kong island. It is named after John Francis Davis, who was the 2nd Governor of Hong Kong, from 1844 to 1848. On top of the hill are remains of old gun batteries and a barracks from the second world war, making it a famous wargame site for Hong Kong wargamers. There is a youth hostel (Hong Kong - Jockey Club Mt. Davis) on top of the hill. Mount Davis is made from pyroclastics and some lava from the Jurassic Repuse Bay Formation. This same kind of rock is common in the south of Hong Kong Island and the east and north New Territories. The lower south west slopes have coarse tuff.
