Tai Po Lookout Tower (回歸紀念塔) Traditional Cache

Tai Po Lookout Tower is one of the large-scale landmarks established for the commemoration of the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong to the PRC in 1997.
It is located near the mouth of the Lam Tsuen River and next to the shore of Tolo Harbour, within Tai Po Waterfront Park, in Tai Po, Hong Kong.

The inhabitants of the New Territories defended and sacrificed themselves for their own home in the early period when Hong Kong was ceded to Great Britain in 1898. They devoted to the development of the territory and significantly made a great contribution into society after the war time of Hong Kong falling into Japan's hands during the period of time from December 1941 to August 1945. The inscription also points out that the location of the tower is exactly where the English government made a landing when taking over the New Territories, the tower, therefore, was built at the same place for the commemoration of the sovereignty handover.

香港回歸紀念塔是香港的一座紀念塔，位於新界大埔區大埔海濱公園之內，於1997年與公園同步開放，以紀念香港主權移交。
該塔高32.4米，塔下有碑記說明興建意義，大意是新界鄉民在香港被割讓予英國初年保衛鄉土、壯烈犧牲；香港淪陷，鄉人對日抗戰；以至香港重光，新界發展，鄉民積極參與，為社會繁榮作出重大的貢獻。碑文又指出，英國接管新界之時，從紀念塔的位置登陸，所以在香港主權移交中國之際，在該地點建塔以示紀念。
