How did the names of Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories come from?

New Territories: The New Territories means the new concession, because it is called the New Territories, because 1898, after the British seized the land south of China Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula, China and Britain signed the "Special Provisions on Expanding the Boundary between China and Hong Kong" to intimidate the newly leased boundary of the Qing court. The New Territories includes Lantau Island and a series of other outlying islands. Kowloon: Some people say that if you look north from the south of Kowloon, you will see nine peaks, like nine dragons, so you call this place Kowloon. Kowloon actually refers to the area south of Lion Mountain and Fei 'e Mountain. However, when China and Britain signed the Beijing Treaty, it was stated that the land south of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula (including Stonecutters Island) was ceded to Britain, and the section north of Boundary Street to Lion Rock remained China territory. Later, Britain lent the New Territories by force, so the section north of Boundary Street to Lion Rock was also lent to Britain in 1999, so people at that time called this section of Kowloon lent to the British "New Kowloon". For reference only, this is a legend.

Kowloon (English: Kowloon), geographically known as Kowloon Peninsula, is one of the three major regions of China and Hong Kong, and is the main part of China except Hong Kong Island. The southeast and west of Kowloon Peninsula are surrounded by Victoria Harbour. In the past, due to the lease relationship between Britain and China, it was once divided into "Kowloon" (south of Boundary Street) and "New Kowloon" (north of Boundary Street and south of Lion Mountain). However, since the Sino-British talks have defined the future of China and Hong Kong, the division of "New Kowloon" is meaningless, so the two places are now collectively called "Kowloon". However, at present, some properties in New Kowloon, like those in the New Territories, have to pay government rent to the China SAR. Jiulong peninsula
