You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kowloon City''' is an [[neighbourhood|area]] in [[New Kowloon]], [[Hong Kong]]. It is part of [[Kowloon City District]].

Compared with the council area of [[Kowloon City District]], the Kowloon City area is ((fact span|date=January 2021|text=vaguely bounded in the south by [[Prince Edward Road|Prince Edward Road West]] and [[Prince Edward Road|Prince Edward Road East]], north with [[Lok Fu]], east with [[Kai Tak Nullah]] and west with [[Kowloon Tsai]].))

== History ==
[[File:KaiTak CX Boeing 747 Final Approach.jpg|thumb|Low-flying aircraft were a common sight in Kowloon City before the [[Kai Tak Airport|relocation of Hong Kong's airport]]]]

As early as in the [[Qin dynasty]] (221–206 BCE), Kowloon City was famous for its pearl production.((citation needed|date=February 2021)) During the [[Song dynasty]] (960–1279), Kowloon City was a part of '''Kwun Fu Cheung''' (((zh|first=t|t=官富場|s=官富场|p=guān fù chǎng))), which was a part of salt yard governed by Chinese officials. During the late Song Dynasty, two young emperors [[Zhao Bing]] and [[Duanzong]] sought refuge at current day Kowloon City, roughly at present day [[Sung Wong Toi Garden]] to escape from the growing [[Mongol]] Army.<ref>((cite web |title=Historical cum Social Study on Kowloon City district in connection with Kai Tak area |url=https://www.heritage.gov.hk/en/doc/conserve/kowlooncityfinalreport.pdf |access-date=11 February 2021 |page=12 |archive-date=5 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201005175839/https://www.heritage.gov.hk/en/doc/conserve/kowlooncityfinalreport.pdf |url-status=dead))</ref> There are also historic relics and a temple which dates back to 800 years ago.

Part of the area was the location of the original [[Kowloon Walled City]], erected during the [[Qing dynasty]]. This is now [[Kowloon Walled City Park]]. ((fact span|text=The former [[Kai Tak International Airport]] was also located in the district.|date=February 2021))

In 1982, Hong Kong was divided into [[Districts of Hong Kong|18 districts]], and Kowloon City and its neighbouring areas, such as [[Hung Hom]], have been part of the [[Kowloon City District]] since then.

Prior to 1998, a strict building height restriction was imposed in Kowloon City and over much of Kowloon to minimise the hazards of air traffic commuting through the Kai Tak Airport. The closure of Kai Tak as a result of the opening of the new [[Hong Kong International Airport|Chek Lap Kok Airport]] lifted the height restriction, and more high-rise apartments started to appear, with heights of up to ((cvt|175|m|ft)).<ref>((cite web |title=Billionaire Royale |url=https://www.emporis.com/buildings/1271937/billionaire-royale-hong-kong-china |website=Emporis |access-date=12 February 2021))((dead link|date=September 2022|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref>

In more recent years, rapid gentrification has taken place and new residential skyscrapers have replaced old [[tong lau]]s. However, zoning plans have described some of these recent high-rise developments as undesirable, and proposed a height limit of ((cvt|80|m|ft)) for new buildings in Kowloon City.<ref>((cite web |title=Kowloon Planning Area No.10 |url=https://www2.ozp.tpb.gov.hk/plan/ozp_plan_notes/en/S_K10_26_e.pdf |website=Town Planning Board |access-date=12 February 2021 |ref=8.3.7 |pages=5, 10 |date=January 2021 |archive-date=2 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210202111356/https://www2.ozp.tpb.gov.hk/plan/ozp_plan_notes/en/S_K10_26_e.pdf |url-status=live))</ref>

==Features==
Kowloon City is an old district in Hong Kong; however, it has been transforming into a modern district with a lot of new shops and restaurants over the years. The district is well known for its wide range of cuisine. Other than the traditional Hong Kong-style restaurants that offer local dishes, there are numerous restaurants that offer Southeast Asian dishes like [[Thai cuisine|Thai]], [[Vietnamese cuisine|Vietnamese]] and [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesian]].

Many Thai grocery stores can be found throughout Kowloon as well. Due to the prevalence of Thai restaurants and stores as well as the population of [[Thai Chinese|Thai-speaking ethnic Chinese]], Kowloon City is also known as "Hong Kong's Little Thailand".<ref name="CNN">((cite web |title=A walking tour of Hong Kong's Little Thailand |url=http://travel.cnn.com/hong-kong/play/little-thailand-hong-kong-842555 |access-date=29 October 2014 |archive-date=29 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141029031623/http://travel.cnn.com/hong-kong/play/little-thailand-hong-kong-842555 |url-status=live ))</ref> It is not only a food paradise for authentic main dishes of many cultures, but also a popular place for both traditional Hong Kong-style and western desserts.<ref>((cite web |title=Why we love Kowloon City |url=http://travel.cnn.com/hong-kong/visit/day-kowloon-city-971734 |access-date=29 October 2014 |archive-date=9 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009020827/http://travel.cnn.com/hong-kong/visit/day-kowloon-city-971734 |url-status=live ))</ref> With a sizeable population from the [[Chaoshan|Chiushan area]] of [[Guangdong Province]], Kowloon City is also famous for Chiuchow-style braised dishes (((lang|zh-Hant-HK|滷水))).
