Ho Tung Gardens, also known by its Cantonese name Hiu Kok Yuen, was a villa on the Peak in Hong Kong, built in 1927 by the businessman Robert Hotung and his wife Clara, who called it The Falls before the name Ho Tung Gardens took hold. In 2011 it was graded a Grade I historic building by Hong Kong's Antiquities Advisory Board and declared a proposed historic monument, but negotiations between the owner and the government to preserve it failed, and the mansion was demolished in October 2013.
