Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks

Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks, located at Stonecutters Island in Hong Kong, serves as a base for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. Recently, the barracks became a focal point as two PLA Navy warships, the guided-missile destroyer Nanning and the guided-missile frigate Hengyang, arrived for a five-day port call. This visit coincided with the 29th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty, highlighting the ongoing military presence and engagement in the region. The barracks were open to visitors, including Hong Kong students who toured the vessels as part of a national defence education initiative. The arrival of these warships drew significant public interest, with residents and tourists flocking to the harbourfront to witness their docking. The events underscore the barracks' current relevance as a site for military displays, public outreach, and reinforcing national defence awareness in Hong Kong.
