Located at 9 Justice Drive, The Asia Society Hong Kong Center at The Hong Kong Jockey Club Former Explosives Magazine combines new construction with four former military buildings. Three of these buildings are listed as Grade 1 Historic Buildings and are part of the Former Explosives Magazine Compound. The compound was an integral part of the British military lands and as one of the few remaining sites, it is an important tangible link to Hong Kong’s past. The former Explosives Magazine Compound was built by the British Army in the mid-19th century to prepare and store explosives. Within this site, gunpowder was processed, packaged, stored and issued to defensive locations throughout Hong Kong. In the beginning of the 20th century, the site was expanded and taken over by the Navy. By the middle of the 20th century, it was being used by the British Government for storage, until the 1970s when it became a depot. After the 1980s, the site was not used until it was granted to the ASHK Center by HKSAR Government for adaptive reuse. Feel free to spend a nice afternoon under the sun here. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY TRACES AND DON'T REMOVE THE WRITING TOOL. Happy caching!
