Hong Kong has many historical monuments which need proper preservation. According to the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, the Antiquities Authority may, after consulting the Antiquities Advisory Board and with the approval of the Chief Executive as well as the publication of the notice in government gazette, legally declare a place to be protected. The Antiquities Authority is then empowered to prevent alterations, or to impose conditions upon any proposed alterations as s/he thinks fit, in order to protect the monument. Up to now, there are a total of 85 declared monuments.
