HONG KONG - After the 1970s - Kowloon Walled City exhibition
Previous album
FLIP LAYOUT
Next Album
Very realistic representation of the small, lawless area, policed and managed neither by Britain nor China, though formally part of China. It was demolished in 1994 and replaced by a park. See also the album `Miniature Kowloon Walled City` and Wikipedia has a good article that gives fuller information of the history of ownership and management. This exhibition is free to enter and is located in a mall near the new sports stadium complex at Kai Tak.

Letter boxes on the wall; Despite the Walled City's unofficial status, the HK Post Office did deliver. On my one trip into the maze of alleyways, I saw a postman putting envelopes in a bank of these on a wall.; IMG_7005.JPG; iPhone 12 Pro Max; f/1.6; ©ROY_GRUBB
