Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence

In my opinion the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence is the most enjoyable museum in Hong Kong. It combines war time relics with history, great views, and gentle hiking. Original battlements, tunnels, armaments, and war time stories provide a level of immersion.

Hong Kong was defended by the British during WWII but fell into the hands of the Japanese on Christmas Day in 1941 for three years and 8 months.

The indoor museum is easily accessible and modern, while the outdoor exhibits are suitable for those seeking a bit of adventure.
