Kowloon City

Kowloon City was a densely populated district in Hong Kong, famous for its narrow alleys and small, crowded buildings. It was once home to a vibrant, self-contained community known as the Kowloon Walled City, which operated with minimal government regulation, resulting in tight living conditions and diverse residents. In 1993, the city was demolished, and the area was redeveloped into Kowloon City District, a modern residential and commercial zone. Today, visitors can explore its history through parks and museums, understanding its unique place in Hong Kong’s urban development.
