Jordan 佐敦, Kowloon 九龍

I'm not sure where this is. I seem to remember it was near the "other side" of Canton Road, perhaps somewhere up into Jordan, around Ferry Street area? Certainly somewhere I only went once by car or taxi.

Hoi Sham Island (海心島), also called To Kwa Wan Island (土瓜灣島), is a former island in Kowloon Bay off the coast at an urban and bay of To Kwa Wan. The island was famous for the Hoi Sham Rock (海心石) and Fishtail Rock (魚尾石), and was believed to be a place of good Feng Shui. A Hoi Sham Temple (海心廟, also 龍母廟) was originally located on the island.
