The daily flag-raising ceremony at 8 AM is a spectacle you shouldn't miss. The combination of Hong Kong police, national anthem, and the gleaming golden bauhinia against Victoria Harbour is deeply moving regardless of your political views.

The sculpture itself is beautiful — a huge golden bauhinia flower blooming on granite, symbolizing Hong Kong's reunification. The harbour backdrop makes for incredible photos, especially at magic hour.

Arrived at dawn and had the square almost to myself with perfect golden light on the flower sculpture and the harbour. Combine it with a walk along the Wan Chai waterfront promenade for a great morning.
