Kowloon City in Transformation
The Kowloon City Themed Walking Trail is the longest themed walking trail (6.5 km) in Hong Kong currently. The objective of this Walking Trail is to promote heritage preservation as well as arts and cultural development in the district by connecting residents and stakeholders in Kowloon City, To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom. Moreover, it is hoped that the project would keep the local neighbourhood and community relationship even in face of great changes in the future arising from redevelopment and railway construction in the district.
