Enquiry - Evolution of Kowloon City (Lung Shing)

Submitted by Pang Chor Kiu V... on Sun, 2019-09-15 08:42 
Kowloon City (especially the currently Lung Shing constituence) has quite a interesting history. I learnt that the area was previously scattered with several villages and later there is a development of the Kowloon Street (a local market); and then a pier that links to it. The Kai Dak reclamation also took several stages to be completed.

This is the view from the Peak in about 1995.  The land reclamation scheme to the left of Tsimshatsui is now the West Kowloon area.
