Golden Bauhinia
A 6m-tall statue (including pedestal) of Hong Kong’s symbol, called the Forever Blooming Bauhinia, stands on the waterfront promenade just in front of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre to mark the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in 1997 and the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR. The flag-raising ceremony, held daily at 8am and conducted by the Hong Kong Police, has become a must-see for visiting tourist groups from the mainland. There’s a pipe band on the 1st, 11th and 21st of each month at 7.45am.

Hong Kong Observatory
This historic monument, built in 1883, is sadly not open to the public. It continues to monitor Hong Kong’s weather and sends out those frightening signals when a typhoon is heading for the territory.
