Examples

“Sau Mau Ping and Lam Tin are not the only contributors to the growth of the hinterland of Kwuntong. In all, government housing projects on the east side of Kowloon Bay, counting only those to the south of Ping Shek, and not including Kwuntong itself, have a total population of about 400,000 people; Kwuntong itself contributes about 80,000 in government or Housing Society housing, and about 150,000 in private accommodation.⁶ All these people live in an area which is in some sense tributary to Kwuntong. In the resettlement estates like Lam Tin whose communications with Kowloon are necessarily through Kwuntong, most people visit Kowloon only exceptionally, at holiday times and for special reasons.”

“The nearest neighborhoods — Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay — are somewhat rundown, and until planned public transportation connections are completed in the coming years, the terminal building’s rooftop gardens will be tough for ordinary visitors to reach.”

“At 8:39 a.m. last Friday, the 24-hour McDonald’s restaurant in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, was as busy as always.”
