 . : Kowloon Walled City
In origin, however, Kowloon City was much the oldest part of Hong Kong, and one of the few areas in the vicinity populated when the British first arrived in 1841 to claim Hong Kong Island and the southern-most tip of the Kowloon Peninsula for their own.
When the British sought to expand their hold on Hong Kong in 1898, with a 99-year lease covering the whole of Kowloon Peninsula and all the nearby islands, most of Kowloon City was subsumed under the new jurisdiction.
Under the terms of the lease, however, it was agreed that the small, walled magistrates' fort to the north of the town would remain Chinese territory until the new colonial administration had been properly established and all the details of land ownership, held within the fort, had been transferred.

 Hong Kong Travel Guide | Fodor's Online
To stand on the tip of Kowloon Peninsula and look out across the harbor to the full expanse of the Hong Kong island skyline -- as awesome in height as Manhattan's, but only a few blocks deep and strung along the entire north coast -- is to see the triumph of ambition over fate.
It is easy to perceive this tremendous creation of wealth as an inevitable result of Hong Kong's strategic position, but at any point in the territory's history things might have happened slightly differently, and the island would have found itself on the margins of world trade rather than at the center.
The most ambitious project of all is the one you see on arrival: the leveling of Chek Lap Kok, an uninhabited island of rock and scrub, that made way for Hong Kong's stylish, ultraefficient international airport, the final legacy of British-ruled Hong Kong.
