Central Ordnance Munitions Depot, Military bunker complex in Southern District, Hong Kong.

The Central Ordnance Munitions Depot includes twelve pairs of underground bunkers with one-meter thick concrete walls located twenty meters below ground level.

Built in 1937, this fortified facility remained the final Allied stronghold in Hong Kong until December 27, 1941, when it surrendered to Japanese forces.

The British military named this installation 'Little Hong Kong' to confuse local Japanese intelligence operatives before World War II began.

The bunker complex now functions as Crown Wine Cellars, offering specialized storage facilities and educational tours about its military history.

The underground bunkers feature specific corridor designs that reduced potential blast effects from explosions during ammunition storage operations.
