Tai Po Lookout Tower, Observation tower in Tai Po, Hong Kong.
The Tai Po Lookout Tower stands 32.4 meters tall within Tai Po Waterfront Park, next to the shore of Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong.
The tower marks the location where British troops first landed during their takeover of the New Territories in 1898, later becoming a monument for Hong Kong's return.
Inscriptions at the base of the tower detail the contributions of New Territories inhabitants who protected their land and supported development after World War II.
Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to reach the observation platform, which provides views of Tolo Harbour, Tai Po Waterfront Park, and Tai Po Industrial Estate.
The structure serves as both a transfer of sovereignty memorial and a viewpoint, positioned at the exact spot of British colonial arrival in the New Territories.
