Golden Bauhinia Square
The bauhinia is the emblem of Hong Kong. The Forever Blooming Bauhinia Sculpture that gives the Expo Promenade the commonly used name, Golden Bauhinia Square, was a gift from the central government to mark Hong Kong's return to China in 1997.
Today the site is popular among visitors who come to take photos of the sculpture and enjoy the pomp and symbolism of the daily flag raising ceremony with beautiful Victoria Harbor as a backdrop.
