PLA garrison in HK opens barracks to public

Many organizations in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) held flag-raising ceremonies on Monday to mark the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

Those holding the ceremonies included the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR, the Commissioner's Office of China's Foreign Ministry in the HKSAR and the Hong Kong Garrison of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).

In addition, residents in the region also held various celebrations on the day, including a flash mob singing patriotic songs at Victoria Harbour and a fishing boat cruise.

Meanwhile, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Garrison in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region opened its barracks to the public on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

Numerous visitors attended the open-day event, which began with a national flag-raising ceremony performed by the PLA garrison's honor guard.

"I can tell from their performance at the flag-raising ceremony that their regular drills must be very tough. And I am very grateful to them for diligently defending our country," said a Hong Kong resident who gave his name as Mr. Zhao.

The residents toured the barracks in Ngong Shuen Chau, Shek Kong, and San Wai to learn about the soldiers' work and life.

They also witnessed demonstrations of soldiers' training exercises and gained insights into their equipment, including naval ships and helicopters.

"The helicopter flight performance was great, and their control is excellent," said Liang, a student.

"I am very happy to see this for the first time. And we got exquisite souvenirs, including badges and bookmarks; my child treasures them a lot", said a father who gave his name as Mr. Thang.

The visitors were also able to attend a thematic cultural performance named 'Me and My Motherland' at the Ang Chaun Camp auditorium, crafted with care by stationed officers and soldiers.

They also visited a sizable exhibition at the Hong Kong Garrison Exhibition Center.

"I bring the students here so they can understand the latest development of the country. The soldiers voluntarily came to us to offer help when they saw our large crowd of students. That sets a good example for the children," a teacher surnamed Zhang from the Hong Kong Fujian Secondary School said.
