What do "Deep water pier", "Nine dragons city" and "Mandarins lake" have in common with "Wong Tai Sin", the name of a Taoist deity? Theyre all districts in Kowloon. This book is an exploration of what is often seen as Hong Kongs shadow-side, from the viewpoints of community, consumerism, art, food, fashion and sex -- 15 years after its handover from Britain to China. Hundreds of colour photographs bring the peninsula to the reader in a salute to street culture and the ordinary and extraordinary people of Kowloon.
