Hung Hom

Hung Hom is in the southeast of the Kowloon Peninsula. It is bordered by Victoria Harbour in the south, King's Park in the west, No. 12 Hill, Hok Yuen and the valley Lo Lung Hang in the north.

Originally, Hung Hom was much smaller than the present-day context. Hung Hom Bay has been partially reclaimed several times since 1850, expanding the area of Hung Hom as a consequence. Rumsey Rock, formerly located in the bay, was buried in the reclamation process. Later a town was developed eastward parallel to the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock.

Hung Hom was renamed to "Yamashita District" ({{lang|ja|山下區}}) during the Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945.Philip Snow: The Fall of Hong Kong. 2003. {{ISBN|0300093527}} page 159 It was one of the few places to be renamed.
