Take a tour of Kwun Tong before it vanishes into the skyscrapers, glass domes, and residential blocks.
The worn-out cage homes in Yue Man Fong have been witness to the development of Kwun Tong for more than 40 years. According to Mr. Cheung, former Kwun Tong resident and son of a cage home owner, in the heyday of the manufacturing industry, over one hundred people lived there. Now it is home to just three residents.
Hoi-kee has been running this little stationery shop at the temporary bazaar at Mut Wah Street for 17 years. His shop is vastly popular among local students, as he only sells high quality Japanese brand products.
This 22-year-old school gym is located on the second storey of Yue Man Fong. Trainer Ah Fai says that in the 80s, the gym had over 600 members, but now only 150 or so remain, most of whom are local residents.
Next to the Yue Man Square Rest Park is the beef brisket alley, which is always packed during lunch hour.
Only this banyan tree and two others in the Yue Man Square Rest Park will be preserved as landmarks to show people where the Kwun Tong town centre used to be. The other trees will be relocated.
