You will discover the real stories of Kowloon Walled City with the models, artefacts and galleries displayed in this historical garden.

Having a Nice Brunch in a Local Cafe
Tai Wo Tang was once a classic Chinese clinic in the 1930's where you could consult a doctor and buy Chinese medicine and herbs with a prescription. Unfortunately the clinic was closed down in 2017, but thankfully, it has now been rebranded as a vintage cafe. Most items from the clinic such as the historic cupboard, metal shutter front door, and their brand logo were kept and became part of this cafe now. Everyone now gets a chance to visit this place and enjoy a cup of coffee while they are healthy!

Making a Wish at a Historical Temple
This historical temple was built a long time ago right before Kowloon City even existed. Hau Wong Temple is always full at Hau Wong Festival on the 16th of the Sixth Lunar Month. The locals believe that worshipping Yeung Hau Tai Wong in front of the temple bell will keep you safe, good luck and health. It sounds like a good place to make a wish, doesn't it?
