'Kawloon walled city' is a district in Kaloon, Hongkong , people once lived there; in a densely structured urban environment , a labyrinth of narrow corridors and dark winding passage ways.. a poor slum city inhabiting over 50,000 people all stacked up in high-rise flat blocks living in close proximity, it was the most densely populated city on earth. the government abandoned the city, so there was no services inclueding law and order, fire rescue etc Through government funding most people were given new homes, but some people stayed in there in a life of anarchy until 1993 allot of the buildings were destroyed , the government officially closed off the city and it was forbidden to live there. now it's a lifeless ghost city! a maze of rotting urban decay! I was thinking how cool it would be to explore this lost city, do some filming and take photographs.. you would need protective gear, there is bound to be dangerous toxic materials. and structurally it is not safe but that's all part of the fun... |

Nice pictures larn.I got interested in kowloon a few years ago.I had a really vivid dream about being stuck in this place,and long story short,when I first saw your third picture above,I was like,thats it!Thats the place I dreamed of! Another great,atmospheric place that would inspire me to create something moody is Hashima(Battleship Island). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for that link!! i didn't know about Hashima, very interesting! i have been reading about abandoned cities over the past few days and just had this idea to explore them and document it I thought that they just demolished these places, but there are allot of places still standing which are just empty, so cool!! |

Ah i see you correct me it's spelt 'Kowloon' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From what Im led to understand the negative environmental impact from razing these places to the ground would be too massive and far reaching.Easier on the world(and probably cheaper)to allow nature to reclaim it.They make fascinating subjects though,I always allow myself to fantasise about secret communities still living amongst the ruins. Another place is obviously Pripyat,in the Ukraine. |

i would live there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be dope |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would make a sequel to Blade Runner there with a Cygnus soundtrack and it would be all bssh-ckckckc-CAKA-CUNG and shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If i had the money I would organize an expedition to explore these ghost cities and document our findings, with a creepy sound track this would be a perfect location to make a zombie film or something scary |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Holy crap on a cracker! bssh-ckckckc-CAKA-CUNG is some good onomatopoeia. I'm stealing it. |

|
|

|

more info: The City was notorious for its excess of brothels, casinos, opium dens, cocaine parlours, food courts serving dog meat, and secret factories cool!! |
||||||||

very cool, I would like to explore this place even though doing so would require a hazmat suit (and an ak-47 to be safe). This reminds me of my friend's adventure across the Hudson river in NYC to an abandoned mental hospital/asylum. He and his brother took a row boat across the river and described the place much like you did this, larn. Someone must have seen them and thought they were shipwrecked because the coastguard and police came down on them like hawks on their way back to the city. Apparently they were extremely understanding about the whole situation. Anyway, ever since I learned of this I've always wanted to explore such a location, myself. |

'Kowloon's dark other, a city within and also without a city - a scorned, renegade parasite metropolis with its own rules (or rather lack of them) existing as a society of its own on the very fringes of another. Without the attentions of architects and with utter disregard toward planning regulations, by the time of its demolition in the early 90s Hak Nam (its colloquial name meaning 'City of Darkness') had become almost one gigantic building that reached up to fifteen storeys high in places, a mass of homogenised ramshackle structures packed together so tightly that sunlight barely reached the lower levels and that could be (and sometimes was) traversed almost entirely via the rooftops.' lovely stuff larn! i'm glad you shared this |

Me too, wish they preserved this place for exploring! Such a shame they tore it down... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So it's been torn down? That's too bad. I thought they were just going to let nature reclaim it... That idea was just too awesome, apparently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Way too awesome, brame the Chinese govern-bent (ohlol) for not being able to handle it! Sure, people would have documented this place well visually before it happened but that just doesn't seem to cut it.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it had been partly demolished, but perhaps it's all gone now :(( oh well i don't know very much about it, my friend told me about this place and i was just thinking about how cool it would be to explore a whole abandoned city. there is a website that has them listed the one atwood posted looks interesting and so does the one in taiwan |
