Something thats missing from this that I think is interesting was a temple on the ground floor that everything was built around:

It's not a temple but an alms house. It still exists. All of KWC was taken down except for this building which was preserved in-situ.

The alms house is the center of present day Kowloon Walled City Park. It's a nice place, I've been there. I learned a fair bit about KWC I didn't know before, like there were only 2 standpipes for water for 35 fucking thousand people!
