HKSAR Establishment Day

  HKSAR Establishment Day is oriented around the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty from Great Britain to the People's Republic of China. While some people view Special Administrative Region Establishment Day as a time to recognize Hong Kong's independence, many of Hong Kong's citizens use the holiday as an opportunity to voice their political opinions. Other Hong Kong citizens may celebrate Chinese patriotism or the economic growth of Hong Kong. Special Administrative Region Establishment Day is celebrated on July 1st each year.
