New Garden Hostel, Hong Kong,
Hong Kong
Foreigners who are visiting Hong
Kong for the first time and looking for a hostel located on the
Kowloon side, if you have plenty of time before deciding which
hostel you are gonna stay, I would like to tell you a story about
the name of Kowloon and a bit history of our hostel.
Kowloon is the translation from
the Chinese words "Nine Dragon". Feng Shui professionals indicate
that there are nine mountain chains on the kowloon peninsula,
and mountain chain is "the blood of dragon" from the fengshui
point of view. Hence the name "nine dragon" was made.
New Garden Hostel originally named
Kowloon Hostel. It has witnessed the growth of Kowloon, as well
as Hong Kong, over 30 years. Hong Kong had been developing very
fast after 1970s. From a small island mainly depended on fishing,
Hong Kong has become one of the most significant international
financial centre in the world. From a very rural area, it becomes
one of the most important city of China. Thanks for the immigrants
from China; they brought in skills and labor force. Ever since,
Hong Kong became a famous city of more than 7 millions residents.
