Golden Bauhinia Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Bauhinia Square (Traditional Chinese: 金紫荊廣場; pinyin: Jīn Zǐjīng Guángchǎng) is an open area in Wan Chai North, Hong Kong. The square was named after the giant statue of a golden Bauhinia blakeana at the centre of the area, situated outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where the ceremonies for the handover of Hong Kong and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was held in July 1997. A flag-raising ceremony is held there every day at 8:00am. It is one of tourist attractions in Hong Kong.
