Race Course Fire Memorial, Memorial at Happy Valley, Hong Kong
The monument features a central seven-storey gateway with four pillars, three archways, and three granite niches containing marble memorial plaques.
Following the 1918 fire disaster at Happy Valley Racecourse that claimed over 600 lives, Tung Wah Hospital arranged burials and initiated the memorial construction.
The memorial combines Chinese and Western architectural elements, including traditional pagodas with green glazed tiles and classical Italianate granite structures.
Visitors can access the memorial daily from 8:00 AM to noon and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, except during the first three days of Lunar New Year.
The memorial includes two octagonal pavilions with fixed granite tables and stools, plus furnaces in pagodas for burning paper offerings.
