Lung Tsun Stone Bridge, Historical bridge in Kowloon City, Hong Kong.
Description
The Lung Tsun Stone Bridge is a stone structure built from granite blocks that once connected the walled city to Kowloon Bay. The remains show careful stonework and the characteristic form of a long pier.
History
The bridge was built between 1873 and 1875 to serve the walled city until it was buried during Kai Tak Airport construction. Its remains were later rediscovered during archaeological work.
Culture
The bridge displays traditional Chinese craftsmanship in its carved granite elements and served as a vital link between the walled settlement and the harbor. This construction reflects how people once connected water and land in daily life.
Practical
The remains are part of an ongoing preservation project with limited public access, so check current conditions before visiting. The site is located near Kowloon Bay and can be reached via several routes.
Did you know?
The original structure extended further than planned due to natural mud deposits that accumulated over time. This made the bridge one of the longest stone structures of its era in the region.
