Planning notes for Kowloon
Tsim Sha Tsui, located at the southern tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, functions as a central hub for commerce and transport in Hong Kong. Its historical development is documented through several preserved structures. The Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, completed in 1915 using red brick and granite, stands as a remnant of the original terminus. Nearby, the 1881 Heritage complex occupies the former Marine Police Headquarters.
