Hong Kong Battlefields and Wartime Sites
We went on an all day Battlefields tour around Hong Kong with a local historian. It was a grueling 8 hours of hiking, crawling, squatting, and riding on a tiny bus. Don't get me wrong – it was a great day. We learned all about World War II from HK's perspective. It was very eye opening for me. Hong Kong was attacked 5 hours after the Japanese began their attack on Pearl Harbor in the US. We were able to see pill boxes, bunkers, tunnels, artillery firing positions, war cemeteries, etc. It was a great history lesson (Dan Lasco - you would have loved it!)
