The Kowloon Walled City Park has an extensive and interesting history. The area started as a walled fort during the 1600s, when
imperial officials built the structure. They used the fort until 1841, when Great Britain took control of the island. Between 1843 and 1847, people living in the area started building a city within the walls. People lived in the walled city until 1994, when lawlessness and squalor forced government officials to relocate all the inhabitants and tear down the city. Currently, the area is a park filled with beautiful plants and architecture. The Kowloon Walled City Park is a destination that visitors will remember for exquisite views and its rich history.
