Blackhead Point (Chinese: 黑頭山; lit. 'black head hill'), also known as Tai Pau Mai (大包米; 'large bag of rice') indigenously, or by the names Tsim Sha Tsui Point and Signal Hill (訊號山), was a cape before any land reclamation took place in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It currently remains a small hill near the coast.

Signal Hill is about 40 metres (130 ft) high and measures approximately 110 metres (360 ft) from east to west, and 80 metres (260 ft) from north to south. It is the site of Signal Hill Garden and features the Signal Hill Tower as well as remains of military structures.[1]
