Where exactly is this cross in Hong Kong? - People Crossing Street during Nighttime

I was digging around for something and stumbled upon a video about Hong Kong that had footage presumably from the area. In it, there was a still with a cross with the characters 成了 (probably in reference to "it is finished"---one of the last words of Jesus of Nazareth) written right to left on it.

Where is this from exactly?

From the geography, I can tell that this is on a hill. Moreover, it looks like there's a body of water separating the buildings in the background and the foreground objects. Unfortunately, I can think of several locations in Hong Kong that might fit such a general description. I also haven't had much success with Google, although I will try some different search terms later.



Best Answer

Tao Fong Shan would appear to be what you're after.

It's a 500m hill, in Sha Tin, where the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre is located.

From the wiki:

"A 12-metre-high cross, facing Sha Tin, is the hallmark of the Centre. The cross is a popular among visitors and is a place for outside gatherings and meetings."

It includes a photo that seems to pretty much exactly match where yours is taken from.
