  Sung Wong Toi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sung Wong Toi is an important historic relic in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
After the Sung Dynasty was overthrown by the Mongolian army in 1279 AD, local residents inscribed the words "Sung Wong Toi" on this large rock that was on the Sacred Hill at that time.
That part of the boulder, about one-third of its original size, displays the Chinese name of the stone, "Sung Wong Toi." After World War II this portion of the stone was shaped into a rectangular block and moved to the Sung Wong Toi Garden, a small park especially constructed for it.
