Chinese People's Liberation Army Forces Hong Kong Building, Military headquarters in Central and Western District, Hong Kong
The 113-meter high concrete structure contains 28 floors and exhibits a brutalist architectural design shaped like an upside-down bottle.
The building, completed in 1979 as Prince of Wales Building, transferred to Chinese control during the 1997 Hong Kong handover ceremony at midnight.
The Central Barracks hosts annual open days where citizens interact with military personnel and learn about their operations in Hong Kong.
The building serves as the main command center for approximately 10,000 People's Liberation Army personnel stationed across Hong Kong's military facilities.
The narrow stem and protruding upper floors were specifically engineered to prevent unauthorized access through climbing or physical intrusion.
