Kowloon Walled City Anonymous 2016-11-15 14:32:44 Post No. 67444899 [Report]

I recently discovered that this place named the Kowloon walled city existed in Hong Konk. I know that´s a place known by a lot of people, but it really amazes me with all the stories, architecture and in a general sense the lifestyle of the people living there.

Do you have interesting facts or histories about that world forgotten place?

If you're interested, Shadowrun;Hong Kong is basically built around the idea that it got rebuilt in the 2050s. Pretty good small unit strategy game.

There's a game in development where you play as a cat in a city inspired by Kowloon.

Maybe you could start anew with those residentials.

Just build some more and pack them tight. Voila, New Kowloon Walled City. Only this time it is outside the old fort.
