Kowloon, Urban district in Hong Kong, China.
The district spans 67 square kilometers and accommodates over 2.1 million residents, making it one of the densest regions in Hong Kong.
The area developed from a military outpost during the Song Dynasty to manage salt trade into a significant settlement under British administration until 1997.
The district contains five major subdivisions: Kowloon City, Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin, and Yau Tsim Mong, each with distinct characteristics.
Kowloon functions as a central transportation hub with extensive connections to mainland China through its maritime ports and former Kai Tak Airport location.
The district achieved a world record population density of nearly 2 million people per square kilometer in the former Kowloon Walled City section.
