Geocache Description:

This series will bring you to some stunning architectures in Hong Kong. Information is provided for cacher’s general understanding only. All caches are not intended to act as promotion to the architectural associations.

Three out of four former military buildings are listed as Grade 1 Historic Buildings and are part of the Former explosives Magazine Compound. The compound underwent modern aesthetic transformation and became a dynamic complex. The former Explosives Magazine Compound was built by the British Army in the mid-19th century to prepare and store explosives. In the 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, the British Government adopted it as storage, serving as a depot until 1970s. After the 1980s, the site was not in use until it was granted to the Center by the HKSAR Government for adaptive reuse.
