Kowloon Park acted as a military base during the time of the British occupation of the Kowloon peninsula during the 18th century. Then known as Whitfield Barracks, it was of mutual opinion that the Victoria Harbour of the peninsula was an ideal dock for vessels that visited the country for trade.


Kowloon Park is one of the largest parks in the area of Tsim Sha Tsui and was opened to the public June 1970 by Sir David Trench, the former Governor of Hong Kong. The park, which offers a range of recreational attractions, is one of the public’s favoured leisure destinations. With the likes of an aviary, a bird lake, sports centre, even a swimming pool and much more, one of the vibrant attractions at the park would be the Kung Fu Corner at the Sculpture Walk.


The Kung Fu Corner offers visitors to the park amazing acts of street performances, where dancers in vibrant and colourful costumes of lions and dragons take to the streets to awe and amaze the likes of beholders. With much of the performances characterising the likes of martial arts principles, dance demonstrations are staged every Sunday from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. Furthermore, play-in sessions are provided to visitors on the discipline of martial arts, along with its history and development, thus providing onlookers a true cultural experience.


Visit this attraction, which takes place at the Kowloon Park every Sunday, while you take up residence in one of the quaint hotels in Hong Kong. One such Kowloon hotel is the Langham Hotel Hong Kong that provides lavish accommodation coupled with the likes of quality amenities and warm hospitality.
