Stanley Fort, Military fort in Stanley Peninsula, Hong Kong.
The fort occupies 128 hectares of land on the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, featuring colonial-era military structures and coastal artillery positions.
Established in 1841 as part of British colonial defenses, Stanley Fort witnessed intense combat during the Battle of Hong Kong in December 1941.
The fort stands as a testament to Hong Kong's military heritage, with its Grade I historic Stanley Battery Gun Emplacement protected under local preservation laws.
Visitors can reach the fort through public transportation, with several bus routes connecting it to other parts of Hong Kong Island.
The fort transferred from British Armed Forces to Chinese People's Liberation Army control in 1997, marking a pivotal moment in Hong Kong's sovereignty transfer.
