Mount Gough (Chinese: 歌賦山) is a peak on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It lies directly east of Victoria Peak and rises to a height of 479 metres (1,572 ft)[1] above Admiralty. It is named for Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough,[2] Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in China. The summit is now occupied by a housing complex so is inaccessible to the general public.
