The British East India Company made the first successful western foray into China in 1699, and made Hong Kong a crown colony in 1842.
Kowloon, meaning “nine dragons” occupies only a few square kilometers of Hong Kong, yet is one of the most densely populated urban areas in the world.
One of the four primary sections of Hong Kong, Kowloon provides a picturesque environment of unprecedented growth from its location atop the southern peninsula of Victoria Harbor.
