Main article: People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison

The PLA maintains a number of garrisons in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In addition to the PLA Forces Hong Kong Building, there are notable garrisons at the Stonecutters Island, and at Stanley Fort. Soldiers located at these three garrisons are considered to be the élite of the PLA. The soldiers are not permitted to leave their compounds, even during off-duty times to mingle with the local populace. ^[7] As a restricted area, the PLA Forces Hong Kong Building is heavily guarded by soldiers with automatic rifles. ^[3]
