The Ghosts Inside of Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense

Centuries of Defense over the Hong Kong Island

The Museum of Coastal Defense was built around an original fort that the British constructed in 1887. During the Second World War, this fort and others like it helped to protect Hong Kong from potential invasion.

The area has been used as a fortress of defense for much longer though, as far back as the Ming Dynasty and they have an exhibition titled “600 years of coastal defense”.

The same goes for the opium wars when Hong Kong became a British Colony as a result of the First and Second Opium wars.

Perhaps the place is best known from the battle on December 8. in 1941 when Japan attacked Hong Kong Island during the Battle of Hong Kong. After the fall of Kowloon, the British fortified their defense to keep the Japanese forces coming over the Devil’s Peak and crossing over the Lei Yue Mun Channel, although they were eventually overrun and ended up under Japanese occupation throughout the war years.
