Kowloon Walled City Park

It was the July 1 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Day holiday; I took 9J and our new friend Draculina on an outing. We went to the Kowloon Walled City Park.

Here’s a bit of fascinating history of the Kowloon Walled City from Wikipeida.

We entered through the North gate, I think.

There are many of these stones in the park, in memory of a significant person in the historical walled city.

Bonsai!

An old real cannon.

A long covered walkway cuts through the park.

Old plaques from the walled city.

I fell down backwards before this picture was taken!

Luckily, I remembered my (brief) Judo training and kept my neck stiff and tucked my chin towards my chest so the back of my head wouldn’t hit the ground. I shouldn’t have worried, because at that time, I was wearing a backpack!
