i love your videos!! can you please show sometimes districts where people actually live, not the ones with perfect business offices? looking at the buildings in the video of the Wholesale Fruit Market was really entertaining, it actually felt like there are a lot of people with different lives passing by, makes you feel like a small piece of a giant system 😄😄 we can look at perfect glass business offices through google maps, so it's more interesting to look at something less ideal
I don't think Nathan Road is the first Road built on the Kowloon Peninsula.They name the road after Lord Nathan the Governor of Hong Kong from 1907 to 1911.The road consruction was completed in 1911. The British ceded Kowloon in 1968 after the Second Opium War.
Kowloon along with Stonecutters Island were ceded to Britain as a result of the 2nd Opium War under the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin, which was ratified by the First Convention of Peking in 1860. Sir Matthew Nathan was the 13th Governor of HK from July 1904 - April 1907. He was succeeded by Sir Frederick Lugard (July 1907 - March 1912). Sir Nathan was responsible not only for building Nathan Road (which he boasted would become a world famous thoroughfare one day) but also for initiating the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (aka the East Rail).
@@canman5060 But you are right that Nathan Road was not the first road built in Kowloon. That distinction, I believe, should go to Boundary Street, which served as the then-national border. Incidentally, Nathan Rd was originally named "Robinson Road" after the 11th Governor of HK, Sir William Robinson (Dec 1891-Jan 1898), but later changed to Nathan Rd to avoid confusion with the same name in HK Island.

Chatham road could be one of the oldest.

Man I miss Hong Kong and want to visit again. But I don't think that I'm safe as a tourist because of the Chinese government. They're unpredictable
We'll never know for sure.
