HONG KONG – Kowloon, an area north of Hong Kong Island, is a melting pot of cultures.
The pre-war Edwardian architecture of the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, now a cultural landmark and exhibition space, sits across a retro branch of Wellcome supermarket. Commercial and residential complex Chungking Mansions, a mosque and a wall of neon signs on narrow shopfronts line Nathan Road. The urban peninsula wears its layered history without apology, and every turn reveals something different.
