West Point (Chinese:西點 or 西角) was a point of land onHong Kong Island,Hong Kong, east ofSulphur Channel.[1] Its location is the shore offPok Fu Lam Road andQueen's Road West in 1845, approximately the junction ofWestern Street andDes Voeux Road West nearWestern Police Station. This was the northernmost point on the western half of Hong Kong Island.
TheHong Kong Government dividedVictoria City into fourwan (環), or districts. While West Point falls intoSai Wan, or Western District, major government structures like the police station and court (Western Magistracy) are located near West Point. Thus the name of Sai Wan, Western District, Western and West Point were sometimes used interchangeably.
St. Stephen's Anglican Church located in West Point was founded by the Church Missionary Society (Church Mission Society) (CMS) in 1865. It was led by Vicar Tsing-Shan Fok 霍靜山 (1851–1918), one of the earliest Chinese clergymen in Hong Kong, beginning in 1904.[2][3]
