Fascinating every time I read about it. Found a nice infographic: http://2oqz471sa19h3vbwa53m33yj.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-c...

Thanks for sharing this infographic. Today is the first time I've ever heard about Kowloon Walled City. I was immediately intrigued, because it looks like something out of science fiction. It reminds me of just how breathtakingly diverse the human experience can be.

Its the other way around, science fiction drew inspiration from Kowloon. For example Ghost in the Shell is set in a straight copy of mid nineties Hong Kong.

Some scenes can even be traced shot for shot with real locations, including unreal Kai Yak airport landing approach over kowloon https://vimeo.com/33731256

I first heard about it in a cyberpunk video game, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, and learned today that it is real. It felt like truly something out of science fiction back when I was playing the game.
