Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence

Backing onto Victoria Harbor, the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense provides both a spectacular view of the area as well as an insight into the history of the military within the country. Discount hotels near the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense provide easy walking access to this huge museum that stretches out over 34,200 square meters. The museum itself is actually built from the old Lei Yue Mun Fort, which played an important role in defending Hong Kong.

The old fort, now renovated and enhanced, is a historic background to the fully modern museum.
