Kowloon Walled City Park, a historically rich and unique destination, holds special memories for many elderly residents. The park preserves several original structures and remnants of the South Gate, which once served as the main entrance to the infamous Kowloon Walled City.

On 6 December 2025, Flying Seniors Project leaders Ambrose Ng and Teresa Lo organized a meaningful outing to Kowloon City for elderly members of the Western District Elderly Community Centre. A group of 15 elderly participants, accompanied by 11 volunteers, first visited Kowloon Walled City Park, followed by the well-known Hau Wong Temple nearby. The day concluded with a trip to the newly developed Kai Tak Sports Park, built on the site of the former Kai Tak Airport.

The group gathered at the Centre at 2:30 p.m. and travelled together by private coach. At the park, Teresa led an informative tour, sharing the fascinating and complex history of the Walled City before guiding everyone on a pleasant walk to the historic Hau Wong Temple. Afterward, the group boarded the coach again and headed to Kai Tak Sports Park. For many of the elderly participants, revisiting Kowloon City and seeing the impressive modern sports complex rising from the old airport site was a deeply moving and memorable experience.

One 80-year-old lady shared emotionally: “Thanks to the Order of Malta Hong Kong, I finally had the chance to visit this park. I never dared enter the Kowloon Walled City when it still stood. Back then, everyone called it ‘Sanbuguan’ （三不管）— a lawless place outside the jurisdiction of the British, Chinese, and Hong Kong governments from the early 1900s until its demolition in 1993.”
