The walled city was demolished and turned into a garden over 20 years ago. I only go there the first time a few days ago, because there is now a MTR station nearby, making going to that area much easier from where I live.
It was surprisingly well designed, using proper ancient green bricks as the wall, inside is traditional style ponds, natural stones with holes and shapes, big trees, covered walkways and pagodas in wood and tile roof. Good explantion of the history of Walled City, interactive display and photos, I am very impressed with the quality of the work.
On the way back, wander around Kowloon city, a really old district with many old and not maintained buildings. This one is particularly eye catching, as it has kept the style of building in the bygone era.
