Mount Austin 並非 Victoria Peak. Mount Austin 上蓋搭一連串的建築物, 乃從Austin酒店改為軍事重地, 見圖:
多謝指點。若 Mount Austin 不是 Victoria Peak, 它會是那處呢﹖下面是Wiki 的 Victoria Peak 的解釋﹐亦提到 Victoria Peak 即是 Mount Austin, 肯定令我更加混淆。

Victoria Peak (traditional Chinese: 太平山頂) is a mountain in Hong Kong. It is also documented as The Peak locally, and Mount Austin. The mountain is located in the western half of the Hong Kong Island. With an altitude of 552 m (1,810 ft), it is the highest mountain on the island, although far from the highest Tai Mo Shan in the territory. It is also known to have the highest land value in the world, with many of the Super-Rich residing here. Because of its view, history and spectacular location Victoria Peak is strongly attached with an air of prestige.
