Kowloon City


Last day of spring break was yesterday.  Went around Kowloon City with a friend and ate lots of food.  First stop was the Kowloon Walled city.  The park was really pretty and amazingly huge.  The city itself is very old and there are lots of shorter building estates that are probably less than 20 stories high.  We saw some of these buildings being demolished and newer super high rises being built in their place.  The city is in the process of being transformed.  The reason the buidlings used to be so low is because this is where one of the previous airports use to be.  Now that the airport has been moved and the buildings are old, they can reconstruct the city.  



The park was huge and was absolutely gorgeous.  There was one preserved section that used to be the south gate foundation of the walled city.

 
Here we had the most amazing mango mochi.  It was like fresh mango inside the mochi. So absolutely amazing!!

Delicious dessert! It was uhh hung yun so? with some lotus stuff inside. 

Delicious beef pastry for dinner at at Islam restaurant!
