The Kowloon Walled City Park is one of the oldest and most significant historic sites in the territory, used by imperial officials in the 15th century and later fortified in 1668.

The Kowloon Walled City Park went through a fascinating history through the war, after which high rise tenements mushroomed on the site, and the walled city became a haven for drug dealers, criminal hide-outs, vice dens and even cheap, unlicensed dentists.
