Possession Point, Historical landmark on Hong Kong Island, China
Possession Point marks the northwestern part of Hong Kong Island, where Victoria Harbour meets the urban district of Sheung Wan.
British naval forces led by Commander James John Gordon Bremer landed at this site on January 25, 1841, declaring British control over Hong Kong.
The Chinese name for this location, Sui Hang Hou, refers to the stream mouth from Victoria Peak, reflecting the natural geography before land reclamation.
The former coastal point now contains the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal and numerous commercial establishments following extensive development in the 1980s.
Land reclamation moved the original Possession Point inland, with its location now marked by the sharp turn of Queen's Road West.
