Longjin Bridge, Kowloon City

Built in 1873, the 200-metre-long Longjin Bridge was once the landing pier connecting the Kowloon Walled City. Situated at the landward end of the bridge, a pavilion was once used for greeting Chinese imperial officials, known as "Pavilion for Greeting Officials". The Bridge and the former Kowloon City Pier had been modified or repaired many times due to district development. They were buried in 1942 during the Japanese occupation in the Second World War. It was not until the implementation of the Kai Tak Development that the Bridge remnants were unearthed.
