Explore a former coastal fort and learn about Hong Kong’s wartime and defence history. Older children can combine the indoor galleries with a historical trail through military remains when conditions allow.
The subject matter includes war, so choose the visit according to your child’s interests and sensitivities. Outdoor trail access is suspended under specified weather warnings, and winter closing is earlier.
