Kowloon Walled City Park
Built on the footprint of Hong Kong’s once-infamous, densely packed enclave, Kowloon Walled City Park transforms a gritty past into a tranquil Jiangnan-style Chinese garden. Visitors can stroll past classical pavilions, ponds, and bonsai displays while discovering preserved relics of the former fortress, including the 19th-century Yamen and remnants of the original South Gate.
