In recognition of the historic achievements of the Hong Kong, China Delegation at various major events including the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and the 14th National Games of the People's Republic of China, Henderson Land held two events to celebrate and honour the returning athletes.
