No. 5 Boundary Stone (Replica)

Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2021-07-11 17:41

This boundary stone is exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of History in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

Obviously, it's a replica - and not an exact one!

It bears the date 1899; this is ok with the year of delimitation of the boundary, but the original shows the date 1898 - that's the year of the Second Peking Convention.

In 1985, at the beginning of the Reform and Opening-up of the Mainland, shops were erected along the 3rd Pillar of the Sino-British Street Port Boundary. Then-Police Chief Yao Zhiming (second from left) witnessed this history while patrolling with his colleagues. Yao Zhiming provides pictures (originally taken by He Huangyou)
