西九故事 Kowloon West Stories


A friend’s publishing house is releasing a book on two proposals for the Kowloon West, It reminded me that I have one too….that i once submitted to Legco. I hace 2.5 minutes to present my paper, and councillors minds were elsewhere. It got me a bit disheartened. Yet, i think i should daylight it….for its own sake.

One bit I still love very much is how I envisioned the boat school once provided education to the lowly children of the sea transformed into an eco-art centre still sitting on water.  If interested, read on in the paper below (the link). And I like the drilled cores to tell the making of the place too. Let’s call in Coring West Kowloon. For other suggestions on history and environment of the place…read on.
