Cenotaph
Characteristic
The Cenotaph war memorial located in Central makes the city look solemn. It is surrounded by Hong Kong Club, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong City Hall and Statue Square Gardens. Entrance to the square-shaped lawns and the cruciform pavement is prohibited, making the Cenotaph a stark difference from the crowded streets around. Cenotaph was declared a monument in 2013.
