On July 1, 1997, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was established. Since then, the city has joined the remarkable journey toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The year 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.

A flag-raising ceremony was held at 8:00 a.m. in Hong Kong to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its return to China.

The city, as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of its return to the motherland, is charting its course for the future.
