Memorial Monument of Sai Kung Martyrs of World War II

The Memorial Monument of Sai Kung Martyrs of World War II is a commemoration site in Tsam Chuk Wan featuring multiple stone structures arranged on the waterfront. Stone torch sculptures and lions surround the main area, creating a defined ceremonial space.

Built in 1989, the memorial was funded by donations from local residents and veterans of the Independent Battalion who fought in the region. The site honors the resistance movement that took place during Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

The site serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come to remember those who resisted Japanese occupation in this region. The inscriptions and stone tablets function as a way for the community to pass down the stories of sacrifice from that period.

The site is located on the waterfront in Sai Kung and is accessible on foot, though parking nearby is limited. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be mindful of tide times, as water levels can affect access to certain areas.

The grounds feature 13 stone torch sculptures and 14 stone lions positioned in a circle around the main structure. This detailed arrangement gives the memorial a distinctive visual presence that stands out from typical war monuments.
