Golden Bauhinia
The Bauhinia flower is Hong Kong's emblem, it's on the flag of Hong Kong, and on the coins as well!

Which is why the Chinese Government gifted Hong Kong with this Golden Bauhinia Sculpture, when Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997.

Every morning at 7.50am, the national flag hoisting ceremony is held. At 7.45am of the 1st, 11th, 21st of every month, enhanced ceremony will be held as the National Anthem will be played by the police bands.

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre New Wing
This is the venue where Britain handed over Hong Kong to China. The Union Jack was lowered, and the Five Star Flag of China was raised on 1st July 1997, ending the 150 years of Hong Kong's colonial history. The focus of the world was right here!
