An area of Wong Tai Sin district, Hong Kong.

Examples

“Hong Kong’s Diamond Hill was once home to a mix of gamblers, thugs and movie stars. Over the last 20 years, the government cleared away much of the squalor (and history) to make way for a subway stop, generic high-rise housing developments and the cacophonous Hollywood Plaza shopping center.”

“Diamond Hill has traditionally been one of the poorest parts of Hong Kong. In the 1950s and 60s, the area became one of the city's largest 'informal settlements', with squatter villages stretching down the slopes towards the city, housing some 50,000 people at their peak.”

“After a brutal knife attack killed two women at a mall in Diamond Hill this month, Hong Kong police held a press conference which spelt out the shockingly indiscriminate nature of the assault.”
