In this post, I want to show you about my visit to the "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In" exhibition at the arrival exit at Hong Kong International Airport.
This piece of structure was used for a movie released this year with the same name as the exhibition. This movie is set in 1980s Hong Kong when an illegal mainland Chinese young man named CHAN moved to Hong Kong to have a better life; however, by accident entered Kowloon Walled City, which by those years was like a fortified, lawless, small city of 25899 square meters and according to the history, many gangs used to operate this place for illegal activities like selling drugs or gambling.
but would be in many troubles like betrayal
According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board office, the exhibition will be held in two phases, the first at Hong Kong International Airport and the second at a shopping mall AIRSIDE in Kowloon City. I can't wait to see the second part of this exhibition.
It is interesting to see how the film crew recreated this kind of realistic environment for the movie because some minor details are fascinating.
The Kowloon Walled City was demolished in 1987 because they used this place for illegal things, gambling, drugs, etc. Now, there is a park named Kowloon Walled City Park, and inside, there is a small architectural model of stone of how it used to be that place.
The Kowloon Walled City have a few hundred years of background history because even during WW2, it was occupied by the Japanese army. I will write more about this place during my second post.
