Kowloon Walled City, rebuilt from photographs
The Walled City is now one packed block of interlocking buildings, with balconies, aerials, rooftop shacks, shop signs and lit windows at night.
Kowloon Walled City is no longer a field of loose boxes. It is now one packed mass of interlocking blocks, with balconies, aerials, rooftop shacks and shop signs, drawn from period photographs. You see it as the jet turns onto final over Kowloon City.
One solid block
The old model scattered separate boxes inside the walled area. The new one fills it in rows of blocks that touch on every side, so from the air the Walled City reads as a single mass with a ragged skyline. The outer blocks run 10 to 14 storeys. A few lower, older blocks sit inside. The whole thing stays under the 44 m roof cap, so it is still the same collision volume you can hit.
Walls with something on them
Every outer wall is now covered in the things the photographs show: small windows on narrow storeys, cage balconies, air conditioners, painted and stained patches and rain streaks. Enclosed balconies and add-ons bulge out of the walls, and open shopfronts line the ground floor.
Signs over the street
Shop signs hang flat on the walls and stick out over the street at right angles. The vertical ones are printed on both sides. They carry real shop words in Chinese, such as dentist, pharmacy, noodles and clothes cleaning, on red, yellow, blue and white boards with no real brands. They are lit at night.
The roofs
The roofs carry forests of TV aerials, water tanks, plants and shacks of timber, tin and plastic sheet, and low sheds stand along the foot of the walls, most of them on the south side. The aerials are the part you notice first from the cockpit.
At night
Most windows show tube light in green, white and warm yellow, the shopfronts glow along the street, and the signs light up. From the approach at night the Walled City is one of the brightest patches on the Kowloon side.
Before 1994, or the park
The Walled City was demolished in 1993–94, and by 1998 the site was a park. The home screen option Kowloon Walled City as it stood before 1994 is on by default. Untick it for the 1998 park instead.
九龍寨城而家唔再係散開嘅一個個盒仔。佢變咗一大舊互相扣埋一齊嘅樓，有露台、天線、天台僭建屋同舖頭招牌，照住當年嘅相砌出嚟。飛機喺九龍城上面轉入最後進場嗰陣，你就睇到佢。
實心一大舊
舊模型喺城入面撒咗一啲分開嘅盒仔。新嘅一排排咁將成個範圍填滿，每座樓四面都連住，所以喺空中望落去，寨城係一大舊，天際線參差不齊。外圍嘅樓有 10 至 14 層，入面有幾座較矮、較舊嘅樓。成個嘢都喺 44 米天台上限之下，所以碰撞範圍都仲係同以前一樣。
牆身有嘢睇
外牆而家貼滿相入面見到嘅嘢：窄樓層上嘅細窗、籠仔露台、冷氣機、油漆同污漬，仲有雨水痕。封閉咗嘅露台同加建部分凸出牆外，地下一排開放式舖頭。
街上嘅招牌
舖頭招牌有貼牆嘅，亦有同牆成直角伸出街嘅。直掛嗰啲兩面都有字。上面寫住牙科、藥房、麵家同洗衣等中文字，用紅、黃、藍、白色嘅板，冇用真實品牌。夜晚會着燈。
天台
天台上面有成林嘅電視天線、水缸、植物，同用木、鐵皮同膠布搭成嘅棚屋，牆腳亦有矮棚，南面最多。喺駕駛艙望出去，最先望到嘅就係嗰啲天線。
夜晚
大部分窗都透出綠色、白色同暖黃色嘅光管燈光，舖頭沿街發光，招牌亦着晒燈。夜晚喺進場航道望落去，寨城係九龍一邊最光嘅地方之一。
1994 年前，或者公園
九龍寨城喺 1993 至 94 年拆卸，到 1998 年原址已經係公園。主畫面嘅選項1994 年前嘅九龍寨城預設剔咗，取消剔選就會見到 1998 年嘅公園。
