Yue
Man Square is the centre of Kwun Tong in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is next
to Kwun Tong MTR Station (the closest Exit is A1). Because of its
specific location in Kwun Tong, it is also a centre of traffic, shopping
and dining. Buildings are mostly of less than ten storeys. This should
be very tall at the time of construction, maybe, about fifty years
before.
Hong Kong Government has announced to redevelop Yue Man
Square and the area nearby (bounded by the pentagon in the above map).
It is a bit pitiful and a norm that some old stuffs would be replaced
and redeveloped in the course of time.
We do not visit Kwun Tong
regularly. When there is such an opportunity, it is needed to record and
experience, and take photos of the outlook of Yue Man Square before
they disappear in the world. Most probably after the redevelopment, it
should be a cluster of modern buildings, residential and commercial, or
becomes another Causeway Bay in Kowloon.
This is to record the affected spot, with exact location, name of building and shop.
Silver Theatre should have a glorious history.
It should have been waiting for redevelopment for a long time.
P
It should be a 'temporary bazaar' in Kwun Tong for many many years.

Buildings in the surrondings are of three to four storeys only.

This is taken from a bookstore in APM, which is a modern mall in Kwun Tong.
We do not expect to take the best view of Yue Man Square area is from this bookstore.
