Facts about the flag of Hong Kong
Date adopted: 1 July 1997
Designer: Tao Ho
Symbolism: The flag features a stylized, white, five-petal Bauhinia flower in the center of a red field. The red color represents the motherland, China, while the white flower symbolizes the 'one country, two systems' principle and the harmony between the two.
- Pantone colours: Red 186 C, White
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung vertically with the bauhinia flower facing upwards, ensuring the red field is on the left when displayed vertically.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is orienting the bauhinia flower upside down or reversing the flag horizontally.
