The Cenotaph, War memorial in Central and Western District, Hong Kong
The Cenotaph stands as a stone monument with clean geometric lines and carved inscriptions honoring soldiers who died in World War I and II.
Built in 1923, the memorial mirrors the design principles of the Whitehall Cenotaph in London, marking Hong Kong's connection to British commemorative traditions.
The monument serves as a central location for annual Remembrance Day ceremonies where veterans, officials, and citizens gather to lay wreaths.
Located near Statue Square and City Hall, the memorial provides a space for reflection and commemoration throughout the year.
The structure incorporates precise mathematical proportions in its design, with subtle curves that create optical refinements visible from multiple angles.
