Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence in Shau Kei Wan: A Handy East District Half-Day Pick

The Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence sits on Tung Hei Road in Shau Kei Wan, in the Eastern District. It was converted from the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence and established on 3 September 2024, covering about 34,200 square metres. Its permanent galleries cover Hong Kong's resistance against Japanese invasion, plus the city's links to national coastal defence and military history from the Tang dynasty to the 1997 handover. There is also a military-themed heritage trail where you can take in the history and military atmosphere of Lei Yue Mun Strait and the surrounding natural scenery. Public reports also mention special exhibitions on war resistance themes. Check the museum's latest official opening information before you go.

Editor’s noteA solid Eastern District pick: permanent galleries plus a heritage trail can easily fill half a day. Check the museum's official opening information before setting out.
