Stanley Military Cemetery

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:49:03

South of Stanley Market, this cemetery for armed forces personnel and their families is also a highlight in Stanley. The oldest graves date back to 1843 and are an intriguing document of the colonial era. The earlier graves show just how great a toll disease took on European settlers, while the number of graves from the early 1940s serves as a reminder of the many who died during the fight for Hong Kong and subsequent internment at the hands of occupying Japanese forces.

To reach the cemetery, walk south along Wong Ma Kok Rd for 15 minutes.
