Wandering in Kowloon Walled City

A major fire in Shek Kip Mei in the 1950s reshaped Hong Kong's housing history, leading to the rapid development of public housing estates. These estates, though modest in design, fostered a strong sense of community where neighbors cared for and supported one another. This book explores the unique history, cultural characteristics, and memories associated with 33 public housing estates in Kowloon, featuring captivating photographs and valuable information about characteristic attractions, restaurants, and events. As Hong Kong undergoes changes, it's essential to cherish these collective memories while they still exist.
