The Stanley Military Cemetery is found along Wong Ma Kok Road and is open to the public from 8am to 5pm daily. Historically, this was a colonial cemetery for those from the British garrison in Stanley until the 1860s. The cemetery was closed at that time and not used until the WWII era and Japanese Occupation. Within the cemetery grounds you will find panel information about the Defence of Hong Kong in December 1941 which resulted in over 4,500 infantry and volunteer defence corps fatalities, many of whom were laid to rest here at the Stanley Military Cemetery. As you walk the grounds you will find early colonial headstones (1840-60s) along with those who perished during the war (1940s). There are also a memorial with the names of the Chinese who died in service to Allied Forces during WWI and WWII who have no known burials.

Part of our History, Remembering the Defence of Hong Kong. It is a beautiful part of Hong Kong that has a large patch of Green, a novelty in Hong Kong. It is very well preserved since 1841. In memory and salute to those allied force defending Hong Kong against invasion.

Another well maintained cemetery by commonwealth war grave commission. Background and history of the passed away was put up in the cemetery so that we get to know about the history and remember the pain of war and their sacrifice.

Very beautiful, well-maintained cemetery. Jason Wordie leads historic walks here and does an excellent job of bringing the past to life. Google his name to find his site and book a tour.

Nice quiet spot away from the noise of the city that has been in movie or two. Nice place to watch the sunset and there is a tranquil beach close by with public grilling areas.
