The real place
The gilded bronze sculpture Forever Blooming Bauhinia was a gift from the Chinese government to mark the handover of Hong Kong on 1 July 1997, a ceremony held in the convention centre extension behind it. The bauhinia flower is the emblem on Hong Kong's flag.
Visiting
A flag-raising ceremony is held on the square every morning at 8 am, with a bigger ceremony on the first of each month. Walk around the convention centre to the waterfront promenade for views across the harbour.
