Remnants of the South Gate of Kowloon Walled City
Kowloon Walled City Park, Kowloon City

The Kowloon Walled City was a garrison town built by the Qing government in 1847 as a military outpost. In 1987, it was announced the Walled City would be cleared and replaced with a park. Archaeological investigations were conducted and revealed foundations of the original South and East Gates were particularly well preserved. The most important discovery was the two stone plaques bearing the characters "South Gate" and "Kowloon Walled City" of the original South Gate. The park is open daily, 6:30am-11pm.
