Gallant Garden

Gallant Garden, Memorial cemetery in Fanling, Hong Kong.

Gallant Garden is a memorial section within Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in Fanling dedicated to people who died while serving the public. The site holds individual commemorative plaques for each person remembered there.

Gallant Garden opened in November 1996 on about 1,600 square metres of Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, built for roughly HK$3 million with 110 burial plots, 165 urn spaces and a columbarium of 120 niches. It was named for the phrase "浩氣長存", meaning a noble spirit endures. On 12 September 2000 the Executive Council extended permanent burial to civil servants and non-civil servants who died with exceptional bravery on duty; Immigration officer Leung Kam-kwong was the first granted it.

The name 浩園 means 'noble spirit endures forever'. The cemetery opened in November 1996 and holds 110 earth burial spaces, 165 urn spaces and a columbarium of 120 niches. Most of those interred are police officers and firefighters; six health workers who died of SARS in 2003 were buried here with special approval, five of them women.

The vehicle gate of the public cemetery opens from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. The road inside the gate, Wo Hop Shek Road, has no street lighting, so plan to leave before sunset; the day's sunset time can be checked with the Hong Kong Observatory. The garden lies within Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in Fanling.

The first civil servant buried here was firefighter Liu Chi-hung, who died in the 1996 Garley Building fire; his headstone copies the Western Jin stele of General Zhao Si. Six Hospital Authority staff who died of SARS in 2003 were admitted by special approval, though they were not civil servants.
