What happens when you stand still while 150 years of history rushes past you?
Built between 1873 and 1875, the Qing Dynasty Lung Tsun Stone Bridge was once the premier gateway connecting the Kowloon Walled City to the sea. Right beside it stood the Pavilion of Greeting Officials, welcoming dignitaries to the area. Over time, as Kai Tak reclamation and airport expansion took place, the ancient bridge was silently buried beneath the earth—until modern archaeological excavations in 2008 brought its incredible remains, old piers, and sea walls back to light.
