Which is the most prosperous district in Hong Kong?

The most prosperous place in Hong Kong is Kowloon.

Kowloon City District is one of the eighteen districts in Hong Kong and is located in the middle of the Kowloon Peninsula. Kowloon City faces Lion Rock to the north and Victoria Harbor to the south. It is bounded on the east by Junction Road, Tung Tau Tsuen Road, Tung Ching Road and Prince Edward Road East, and on the west by the MTR East Rail track. It covers an area of ??1,000 hectares and has a population of approximately 380,000 people.

The former Kai Tak Airport located in the urban area of ??Kowloon District is one of the most prominent landmarks in the district. With the development of Hong Kong, this landmark can be regarded as an indicator of Hong Kong's evolution.

Kowloon is a center of industrial and commercial activities in Hong Kong. Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and other places are the most prosperous, with many large shopping malls, restaurants and small shops and restaurants. The former Hong Kong Airport Kai Tak, one of the busiest airports in the world, is in Kowloon and is now a tourist area. Between the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island is Victoria Harbor, one of the world's third largest natural deep-water harbors.

The origin of the place name

There are two theories about how Kowloon got its name: one is that the small court of the Song Dynasty was forced to live here by the Yuan soldiers, and ministers such as Lu Xiufu often supported the Song Emperor to visit. The huge stone on the hill overlooks Lei Yue Mun Haikou, looking forward to King Qin's army. Legend has it that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty climbed a rock one day and saw a group of green mountains surrounding him, so he said to his ministers: "Eight green mountains, each with a dragon, are eight dragons."

Lu Xiufu was standing by and replied: "Your Majesty is the emperor and also a dragon." Emperor Song nodded. So there was the saying of "Kowloon", and later this place was called "Kowloon".

Another theory is that Kowloon got its name from its natural environment. There are nine mountains running across the northern end of the peninsula. Although the mountains are not big or high, they move like dragons. The nine mountains are like nine dragons. The dragons are used to represent the mountains, so they are called "Kowloon Peaks", also known as "Kowloon Peninsula".

The names of these nine mountains are: Ciyun Mountain, Fei'e Mountain, Lion Mountain, Tate's Old Mountain, Dongshan, Chicken Breast Mountain, Yingchao Mountain, Pipa Mountain and Bijia Mountain. Bijia Mountain was formerly called Yandun Mountain, and there were Yandun Mountains on the mountain to convey wind news. When a sailboat sees smoke rising from the mountains and knows that the monsoon wind is blowing, it can set sail.
