KOWLOON WALLED CITY PARK(OLD MONUMENT)in HONG KONG

OLD MONUMENT IN KOWLOON WALLED CITY PARK The Yamen (衙府) is located in the centre of the Park and it is the only remaining old Qing building. It was built in 1847 and its interior was dominated by the offices of the Commodore of the Dapeng Brigade (大鵬協府) and the Kowloon Assistant Military Inspectorate (九龍巡檢司衙署). It was designed with three rows and four wings of houses. Its walls and column bases are built from bricks and granite, while the roof is a traditional structure covered with cylindrical and flat tiles. After 1899, the Yamen was used for charitable purposes like home for the elderly named Almshouse. It is now officially classified as a declared monument in Hong Kong. 6 exhibition rooms are housed inside.[7] The original site of South Gate (南門) has been designated as a declared monument and all related relics unearthed have been preserved. Flagstone pavement, cornerstones of the buildings, and a drain were discovered. Also, two granite plaques with Chinese characters for "South Gate" and "Kowloon Walled City" were unearthed at the site of the original South Gate when the Walled City was torn down in 1994.[8] The Garden features 12 Chinese zodiac sculptures. They are arranged according to the Heavenly Stems (Tiangan 天干) and Earthly Branches (Dizhi 地支) in Chinese astrology.[citation needed] The Guibi Rock was carved from Taihu Rock (太湖石). It is named Guibi because its veins are similar to those of ancient jade. Fui Sing Pavilion symbolises a constellation of literature and wisdom. Guibi Rock also symbolises the hope of returning Hong Kong to China.[citation needed] The Mountain View Pavilion provides a fine distant view of the Lion Rock, which resembles a lion sitting with its head facing the Pavilion.[citation needed] There are four large chessboards built on the ground with pebbles for visitors to enjoy a game of chess.[citation needed] The Eight Floral Walks is a web of paths which connects the distinct landscape features of the Park. Various types of flowers that bloom in different seasons are planted on both sides of the path to accentuate the scenery of the park in all seasons.[citation needed] Located to the west of Yamen, the Kwong Yam Square is a garden where flowers of the four seasons could be seen.[9] This exhibition was officially opened for public use on 19 April 2009. It consists of one outdoor display area and six exhibition rooms inside the former Yamen.[10] The outdoor display area is located near the South Gate which shows a tablet and a model of the Kowloon Walled City.[10] The front of the tablet has an introductory article inscribed whereas the back presents the cross-section of the pre-demolished Kowloon Walled City and the depiction of the daily lives of its residents. Behind the tablet stands a bronze miniature model of the Walled City which allowed the visitors touch and have a closer look at the City.[11] Six exhibition rooms are located inside the Yamen which illustrate the living environment inside the Walled City through interactive imagery and sound.[12] for the history of kowloon walled city    • THE MOST CROWDED ON EARTH ||KOWLOON W...   #hongkong #historicalplaceinkowlooncity #yemen #southgate #oldmonument #chinesezodiacsign #chessgarden #kowloonwalledcitypark #KCP #guibirock #eightfloralwalk #gardenofforseason #touristpot
