Gun Club Hill Barracks are barracks in King's Park,[citation needed] or in Jordan,[1] Hong Kong formerly used by British Army garrisons during British colonial rule. The military began using the area shortly after 1860 when the British acquired Kowloon. The barracks are bounded by Austin Road, Jordan Path, Gascoigne Road and Chatham Road South.
The barracks are currently occupied by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) who began using the facility after the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong on 1 July 1997. The compound now includes a hospital constructed for the People's Liberation Army, Hong Kong, completed around 1997.
