A serene oasis in Kowloon
Nestled in the heart of Kowloon City, Kowloon Walled City Park covers around 31,000 square metres — roughly the size of four football fields. The park’s design beautifully blends classical Chinese garden architecture with modern landscaping. You’ll find elegant pavilions, lush greenery and serene ponds, all set against the backdrop of what was once one of the most densely populated and notorious neighbourhoods in the world.
Unravel the history of the Walled City
Kowloon Walled City Park stands on the site of the former Kowloon Walled City, a place with a history as colourful as it is complex. Today, you can explore the fascinating history of this once-troubled place at the City of A Thousand Faces, a permanent exhibition within the park. This exhibition features a miniature bronze model of the Walled City and stunning artwork that gives you a cross-sectional view of life within its walls.
As you wander through the park, you’ll come across several historical relics from the Walled City era. The Yamen complex, which served as the administrative office of the Walled City, has been carefully restored and now houses the park’s exhibition. Nearby, you’ll find the South Gate, one of the few remaining structures that hint at the original fortified nature of the city.
Unwind in nature
The park is not just about history. It’s also a place to relax and enjoy some of the more peaceful aspects of Chinese culture. Don’t miss the Six Arts Terrace, where you can soak in the beauty of traditional Chinese calligraphy and music. The Mountain View Pavilion offers a quiet spot to admire the surrounding landscape, while the Garden of Four Seasons and the Garden of the Chinese Zodiac add a touch of whimsy and colour to your stroll.
