Lung Tsun Stone Bridge

Lung Tsun Stone Bridge, Historical bridge in Kowloon City, Hong Kong.

The Lung Tsun Stone Bridge is a granite pier built between 1873 and 1875, originally 200 metres long and 2.6 metres wide, with 21 stone columns. Its remains lie in shallow water: a low ridge of rough grey blocks, some wrapped in dark green material, below a bank of loose light grey rocks. A later stone bridge with flat slabs and a metal ring stands nearby.

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.

The bridge's name comes from the Lung Tsun River, a stream east of the walled city. Beside it stood the two-storey Lung Tsun Pavilion, where incoming and outgoing Kowloon magistrates and Dapeng garrison officers were formally received; locals called it the reception pavilion. Its stone plaques read "Lung Tsun", carved in 1873 by Nanhai scholar Pan Shizhao, and "Tong Deng Ping Dang".

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.

In 1892 the Kowloon Lok Sin Tong raised funds to add a roughly 80-metre wooden pier at the southern end, ending in a T-shape about 4 metres wide, because silt had stopped large vessels from berthing. The charity charged a pier fee and set up public scales so goods weighed there paid dues. Nearby Ma Tau Wai, Ma Tau Chung and Ma Tau Kok take their names from this bridge.
