Kowloon Tsai (Chinese: 九龍仔) is a place between Kowloon City and Kowloon Tong in Hong Kong. It was formerly a village in a valley, developed into a low-density residential area in New Kowloon. Due to the ambiguity of the area's west boundary (Junction Road serves as Kowloon Tsai's east boundary) and the opening of the nearby Kowloon Tong station in 1979, this place is now frequently regarded as a part of the Kowloon Tong area.
History
According to the Gazetteer of Xin'an county, Kowloon Tsai village was built before A.D. 1819.
The Hong Kong Golden Jubilee Jamborette (香港金禧大露營), was held between 1961-12-27 and 1962-01-02, celebrating the Golden jubilee (50 year anniversary) of Hong Kong Scouting with theme One World (天下一家). At Kowloon Tsai, now named Kowloon Tsai Park, the Jamboree hosted 2,732 Scouts in the challenging winter with heavy rain.[1]
