Hi there,

I vaguely remember this was when the St. John Ambulance monument was located.  It was relocated to Wong Nei Chung Gap to make way for this.

The sculpture is said to be from 1975 (source). 

The sculpture was designed by Mr. Ho Pak-Tao after being invited by the Wanchai District Council. It was "timely erected on Morrison Hill Road in 2003 to boost the morale of the residents of Wanchai District".

Comment by "jabberjabber" in 2011: 

"The St John Ambulance Monument at Wong Nei Chong Gap was erected there and was not moved there from some other place. The choice of site was determined by the massacre there of a large number of St John Ambulance personnel serving in the Hong Kong Field Ambulance"

That said, the Kuhlan Monument (2nd Location) was previously situated nearby the Golden Dragon Sculpture. 

I understand the Golden Dragon Sculpture was erected by the Wanchai District Council in 2003 to commemorate the end of the SARS epidemic.
