Kowloon Walled City Park
Kowloon Walled City Park
Kowloon Walled City Park, with the remnants of the South Gate in the foreground.The area is now located in today's Kowloon City District. It was built into Kowloon Walled City Park (九龍寨城公園), an elegant park preserving the heritage of the fabled Walled City, which is part of the Carpenter Road Park.
The design of the park is based on the Jiangnan garden style of the early Qing Dynasty. It is divided into eight landscape features, with the centerpiece being the Yamen, a three-hall structure fully restored in its Qing Dynasty appearance. The Yamen houses a photo exhibition and a few relics used or found in the Walled City. The eight parts of the park are:
The Yamen
The Old South Gate
Eight Floral Walks
The Garden of Four Seasons
The Garden of Chinese Zodiac
The Chess Garden - featuring four giant Chinese chess boards
The Mountain View Pavilion
Guibi and Fui Sing Pavilion
The yamen and the remnants of the South Gate of Kowloon Walled City are declared monuments of Hong Kong.
