Ho Tung Gardens was a villa on the Peak in Hong Kong, built in 1927 by Robert Hotung and his wife Clara, who originally called it "The Falls." The residence, designed in Chinese architectural style, later became known by its Cantonese name, Hiu Kok Yuen. In 2011, it was designated a Grade I historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board and declared a "proposed historic monument" by the Hong Kong Government under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. Despite its protected status, negotiations to preserve the mansion failed, and the building was demolished in October 2013.
