Kowloon Tong (Chinese: 九龍塘) is an area of Hong Kong located in Kowloon. The majority of the area is in the Kowloon City District.[1] Its exact location is south of the Lion Rock, north of Boundary Street, east of the East Rail line and west of Grampian Road.[2] It is one of the most expensive residential districts in Hong Kong.[3]
It is popular among Hong Kong's wealthy residents because of its schools and low-density private housing.[4] Most of the buildings there do not exceed 10 floors. In addition, this area is noted for its love hotels and nursing homes. Within Kowloon West, it is administratively divided between Kowloon City District and Sham Shui Po District, bisected by the Kowloon–Canton Railway.
