‘Civil-military Strategies – Journey to Kowloon Walled City Park’ School and Group Guided Tour Service

Organised by Chinese Culture Promotion Office, Leisure and Cultural Services Department

Due to the strategic value of its location, the Qing Government built Kowloon Walled City in 1847. It was built as a military outpost occupied by several hundred soldiers to reinforce the coastal defence of the region. Why did it develop into a semi-lawless enclave and Jiangnan garden style park later? You may find out the answers in our ‘Civil-military Strategies – Journey to Kowloon Walled City Park’!

It is a great opportunity to learn about the history of Kowloon Walled City along with its historic building and archaeological finds, while enjoy the rich culture and artistic nuances behind Jiangnan architectural design, guided by our docent.

Only for local registered schools, charitable and non-profit making organisations. Let us come together to learn about the ancient civil and appreciate the profound depths of Chinese culture in this delightful and immersive experience!
