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

The Lung Tsun Stone Bridge stretches 210 meters in length and 2.6 meters in width, constructed entirely from granite blocks with traditional Chinese architectural elements.

Built between 1873 and 1875, the bridge connected the Kowloon Walled City to a pier in Kowloon Bay until it was buried during the construction of Kai Tak Airport.

The bridge structure incorporates carved granite elements reflecting Chinese design principles, marking the connection between the mainland and the Kowloon settlement.

Archaeological remnants of the bridge, discovered in 2008, are now part of a preservation project scheduled for completion in 2025 with a budget of 500 million dollars.

The bridge length extended to 300 meters due to natural mud accumulation, making it the longest stone pier structure in Hong Kong during the 19th century.
