St. John War Memorial

St. John War Memorial is a stone monument with engraved inscriptions honoring military personnel who served during armed conflicts in Hong Kong. The structure stands at Wong Nai Chung Gap and forms a focal point in the landscape of the Wan Chai District.

The memorial was built in 1952 to honor soldiers who fought in various military conflicts. It follows design standards established by international war graves commissions in the years following World War II.

The memorial serves as a place where visitors pause to reflect on those lost during armed conflicts. Local groups and individuals gather here to honor those who fell, making it a meaningful site for remembrance.

The memorial sits on grounds that are open year-round and accessible from several hiking trails. Visitors should know the location sits on a ridge path, so sturdy footwear with good grip is recommended.

The monument remains relatively unknown and offers a quiet place free of tourist crowds, despite being just a short walk from busier areas. This hidden location makes it a valuable spot for reflection away from typical sightseeing routes.
