New Kowloon

New Kowloon is an area in Kowloon, Hong Kong, bounded in the south by Boundary Street, and in the north by the ranges of the Lion Rock, Beacon Hill, Tate's Cairn and Kowloon Peak. It covers the present-day Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin districts, and part of Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City districts. Historically, territories south of Boundary Street (known as Kowloon and Stonecutter's Island) were ceded from Qing China to Britain in 1860 by the Convention of Peking. Territories north of Boundary Street (later known as New Kowloon) remained part of China until it was leased as part of the New Territories to Britain in 1898 for 99 years by the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory (also known as the Second Convention of Peking)....
