Lennon Wall Hong Kong, Democracy wall in Hong Kong, China.
Lennon Wall Hong Kong is a surface covered with colorful sticky notes, drawings and texts at the government complex in the Admiralty district. The surface changes constantly as new notes are placed over older ones, creating a shifting mosaic of words and images.
The wall appeared in autumn 2014 when participants in the Umbrella Movement began attaching messages and images to a surface near the main protest zone. Over the following weeks the number of notes grew rapidly until the entire area was covered.
Visitors often leave lines from songs or short poems on the colorful notes, which overlap and form a dense texture of handwritten messages. Most notes are written in Cantonese or English, with other languages occasionally appearing between the layers.
The wall is located on Harcourt Road near the government building and is easily visible during the day. Visitors can read the texts or attach their own notes, with markers and sticky notes being practical.
The original wall was removed several times, but new versions appeared in other locations across the city and at universities. Some notes carry drawings of umbrellas, which became a recognizable symbol of the movement.
