The Hong Kong Garrison of the Chinese People's Liberation Army opened its barracks to the public on Saturday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
At the Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks, the event began with a flag-raising ceremony during which residents and officers stood in solemn respect while singing the national anthem. Following the ceremony, officers from Ngong Shuen Chau, Shek Kong, and San Wai Barracks presented various military displays that received enthusiastic applause and cheers. The equipment exhibition also attracted a diverse audience, highlighting Chinese self-developed technology.
"I feel so proud because our country is so powerful. I wish everyone a happy National Day holiday. I love my country and I love Hong Kong," said Liu Tzu Ming, a Hong Kong student.
During the open day event, visitors also explored the PLA Hong Kong Garrison Exhibition Center, one of the most popular venues for locals.
The themed exhibition tells the stories of the Communist Party of China, the nation, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army through various mediums, including multimedia presentations, themed sculptures, displayed items, and digital technologies.
