As early as in the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BCE), Kowloon City was famous for its pearl production. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Kowloon City was a part of Kwun Fu Cheung (官富場), which was a part of salt yard governed by Chinese officials.
The systematic transcription Kau Lung or Kau-lung was often used in derived place names before World War II, for example Kau-lung Bay instead of Kowloon Bay. Other spellings include Kauloong and Kawloong.
Escalators link Elements directly with the station concourse.
History
The station was designed by TFP Farrells. During the planning stage, it was called West Kowloon Station (Chinese: 西九龍站).
On 16 September 2000, the new shopping mall "Dickson CyberExpress" (Chinese: 迪生數碼世界) was opened by Dickson Poon. The size was 70,000 square feet (6,500m2) spread over four levels of the station with six shopping areas. However, the mall did not have the expected volume of customers and business was weak. After half a year, the mall shrank its size. The mall management company planned to decrease the level of the mall from 4 levels to 3 levels and to combine some of the shopping areas. Business remained poor due to sparse population near the station and a recession at that time. The mall finally closed its operation in 2005.

Inside Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City
25 years ago in March, bulldozers moved in to tear down the Kowloon Walled City, a condemned slum area that now evokes fascination and revulsion in Hong Kong’s collective memory.
The South China Morning Post's Infographics team took a look inside the walls at the lives of the people who lived in the walled city.

Imagine, if you will, a city of eternal night. A place so intensely crowded that sunlight never penetrates its alleyways. Overhead, wires dangle from the ceilings. Neon signs fizz in doorways. All around you, 33,000 people are crammed into self-built apartments barely 10m square, while overhead great airships rumble through sky. Is this a vision from the future? The setting, perhaps, for some dystopian sci-fi novel?

Former Kowloon Walled City resident reacts to STRAY!
Since its release, video game Stray has been a huge hit. Players follow a cute ginger cat escaping an underground city, inspired by Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City, a high-rise squatter camp that once housed 50,000 people demolished in 1994. Did the game look at all like the former glories of historic enclaves? Let’s find out.

The Truth and Nostalgia of the Kowloon Walled City
Today's video is about the old Kowloon Walled City. For a long time I had seen the Kowloon Walled City as a place apart, isolated from the rest of Hong Kong due to some weird historical quirk. The reality is not as exotic, but still interesting.

Since its release, video game Stray has been a huge hit. Players follow a cute ginger cat escaping an underground city, inspired by Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City, a high-rise squatter camp that once housed 50,000 people demolished in 1994.
