Fortress!

Today I went to the Coastal Defense Museum.

It was nice. I took about four hundred pictures.

The main exhibition is nicely air conditioned. It show the history of military of Hong Kong. From the 1300's, to the Opium War, to British Occupation, to Japanese Occupation, to after 1997.

The out side is the fortifications. There are a few cannon and underground passage ways. There are also some war torn ruins.

I am a bit disappointed that the gift shop didn't have any thing that say Coastal Defense Museum on it. But I did buy two nice pins that are replica of The Hong Kong Royal Police and British Royal Army insignia. My mom bought a magic trick thing.
