One more Hong Kong Museum

For a person born in Hong Kong and who have returned numerous times, there are many places I have never been to. Hong Kong's Museum of Coastal Defense (香港海防博物館) is a gem that I should have visted long ago. This museum spells out the history of Hong Kong, from the Ming and Qing dynasty to the day Hong Kong returned to China. Hong Kong has been through a lot, from oppression of British (and other European countries) during the Opium Wars, to Japan's occupation in WWII, o the financial ups-and-downs in the past 3 decades.

The rest of the day was to make my last run for last minute shopping...though there really isn't a whole lot to buy.
