Golden Bauhinia Square
The site of the ceremony in 1997 in which the United Kingdom returned Hong Kong to China. A flag raising ceremony is held here ever morning at 8AM, when the Hong Kong Police will perform foot drills and raise both the Chinese national flag and the Hong Kong flag to the accompaniment of the Chinese national anthem. Visit at night time for a stunning view of the neon-lit skylines of Kowloon and Hong Kong.
