1955 in Hong Kong

Mang Gui Kiu (also called: Haunted Bridge, Ghost Bridge) (Chinese: 猛鬼橋) is a bridge situated in Tsung Tsai Yuen (松仔園), Tai Po Kau, Tai Po District, New Territories, Hong Kong. It was originally named Hung Shui Kiu (Bridge of Flooding) for being frequently overflown by heavy rains. In 1955, a group of teachers and students from St. James' Settlement died in an accident on a day of heavy rain. Ghost haunting stories related to the incident have continued in the area ever since.

The Kashmir Princess, or Air India Flight 300, was a chartered Lockheed L-749A Constellation Air India flight. On 11 April 1955, it was damaged in midair by a bomb explosion and crashed into the South China Sea while en route from Bombay, India, and Hong Kong to Jakarta, Indonesia. Sixteen of those on board were killed, while three survived. The explosion was an assassination attempt targeting Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, who missed the flight either due to a medical emergency or, as one historian concluded, because he had prior knowledge. The Chinese government insisted that Hong Kong authorities investigate; they concluded that the Kuomintang were responsible for the bombing.

The 1955 Hong Kong Urban Council election was held on 30 March 1955 for the two of the four elected seats of the Urban Council of Hong Kong. It was the fourth Urban Council election in the post-war period.
