Symbol of Gorgeous Hong Kong

#hongkongtrip Golden Bauhinia Square is an open area in the Wan Chai region. The attraction was named after a giant statue of a golden flower, a type of orchid "bauhinia blekiana". The sculpture, a gilded bauhinia flower six meters high, is mounted on a cylindrical base of red granite with a pyramidal base. The monument was created in 1997 in honor of China's acquisition of Hong Kong. There are nine sparkling Chinese characters carved on the pedestal, inscribed by the head of the central government of China, Jiang Zemin. On the first, eleventh and twenty-first day of each month, the police guard of honor in full uniform holds a flag-raising ceremony. The process is accompanied by the performance of the police orchestra, which plays the national anthem, and after the end of the official part – other music for about ten minutes. The Golden Bauhinia Square is one of the most visited places by domestic and foreign tourists. In the evening, the playground is a great place to see the popular "Symphony of Lights", a light show on the walls of the surrounding skyscrapers. Just below there is a 400-meter embankment with a beautiful view of Victoria Harbor. Speaking in regards to Victoria Harbour itself, not a mentioning fact, that this is most beautiful harbour in Hong Kong, but charming place to take a walk at late evening as well. I think that views from Golden Bauhinia Square look more attractive compared to those from opposite side. Located between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, Victoria Harbor, also known as Victoria Bay, is the largest harbor in China and the third largest in the world after San Francisco in the United States and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The long alley along the bay starting from the Golden Bauhinia Square shall be considered as a great choice for walking or jigging. Such a breathtaking views are opening from here.
