Neighbourhood Features
Kowloon City is located to the north of Ma Tau Wai, south of Lok Fu, and east of Kowloon Tsai, spanning across Kowloon Walled City Park, Carpenter Road to Nga Tsin Wai Road. Historically, due to its proximity to the Kai Tak Airport, building heights in the area were restricted. However, after the relocation of the old airport, Kowloon City saw the addition of many standalone high-rise buildings, creating a stark contrast with the older buildings in the district.
Known as "Little Thailand" and "Little Chaozhou," Kowloon City is home to numerous Thai and Chaozhou restaurants, forming a sizable Thai community. With the introduction of new buildings, the area has seen an influx of small businesses, including coffee shops and eateries, offering a diverse range of dining options.
While lacking large shopping malls, there is an underground shopping street at the Sung Wong Toi MTR station, and nearby options include the Kai Tak AIRSIDE shopping mall and Mikiki in San Po Kong. Additionally, a variety of local shops provide diverse choices for residents.
With the completion of the Tuen Ma Line's Sung Wong Toi Station, Kowloon City finally has access to rail transport, significantly improving local transportation convenience. Moreover, major roads such as Prince Edward Road West, Nga Tsin Wai Road, and Carpenter Road have multiple bus and minibus routes connecting the district to various areas in Hong Kong.
