Extended data:

Stonecutters Island 1

Stonecutters Island was the naval headquarters of British troops stationed in Hong Kong when it was not merged with Kowloon Peninsula. After the merger with Kowloon Peninsula, the former Navy Headquarters became the PLA Naval Base in Hong Kong in the south and Container Terminal 8 in the north. In addition, Stonecutters Island will also build the Stonecutters Island section of Route 8, and the completed Stonecutters Island Bridge will connect Route 8 with the Hong Kong International Airport.

2. Olympic Station Area (Tai Kok Tsui West)

The original site of the Olympic Station is part of the Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter. After the completion of the reclamation project, the Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter moved westward to the waterfront of the new reclamation area. Due to the proximity of the Olympic Station to the Mong Kok business district and the convenient transportation on the Tung Chung Line, HSBC Center, Bank of China Center and olympian city Shopping Mall have been completed one after another, making the Olympic Station area a major commercial and residential area in West Kowloon.
