Best Answer

The British ruled Hong Kong from 1842 to 1997. The British leased areas of the new territories of Hong Kong from China for 99 years and returned all of Hong Kong back to China on July 1, 1997.

A memorial statue of a golden bauhinia was made to symbolize the hand over of Hong Kong back to China from 155 years of British rule.
