About Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence
A museum in the 1887 Lei Yue Mun Fort above the Lei Yue Mun channel, converted from the former Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence in September 2024. A permanent exhibition covers Hong Kong's coastal defence and military changes from the Tang dynasty to 1997, alongside material on the War of Resistance. Outdoors, a historical trail with 24 checkpoints marks significant events at the fort.
