About To Kwa Wan
An eclectic mix of Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, and Western immigrants share a strong sense of community amidst low-rise 1950s and 60s apartment buildings and small businesses in this enclave. The local economy is growing as the new train station and high-rise apartments bring new life to this neighborhood where more people speak Cantonese than English. Congee shops, pubs, fresh produce stands, old relics, and a slaughterhouse repurposed as residences and galleries for artists make this fascinating nabe on Kowloon Bay worthy of a visit.
