Under an agreement between the Government of Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China, the Kowloon Walled City was demolished in the 1990s.

The Kowloon Walled City Park is designed resembling a Jiangnan garden of the early Qing dynasty.

[2] In the middle of the 19th century, the Qing government started to build an enclave beside Kowloon Bay, surrounded by stone walls.

By that time, the British colonial government found it increasingly difficult to manage and control the serious crime in the area related to drugs, illegal gambling, prostitution and quackery.

After the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984, Britain and China embarked on a discussion about solving the problems in the Walled City, and subsequently announced its demolition on 14 January 1987.

[5] Due to its proximity to the Kai Tak Airport, and so that the park could have a more open view, regulation of the height of buildings was strictly enforced.

It was built in 1847; its interior was dominated by the offices of the Commodore of the Dapeng Brigade (大鵬協府) and the Kowloon Assistant Military Inspectorate (九龍巡檢司衙署).

Its walls and column bases are built from bricks and granite, while the roof is a traditional structure covered with cylindrical and flat tiles.

[7] The original site of the South Gate (南門) has been designated as a declared monument and all related relics unearthed have been preserved.
