The Kowloon Peninsula, commonly referred to as Kowloon, is a peninsula, in the south of the mainland part of the Hong Kong territory. Historically speaking, it refers to the ceded territories of Kowloon in 1860, but geographically it covers the entire Kowloon, south of the mountain ranges of Lion Rock, Kowloon Peak, etc.
Kowloon Bay is located at the north east of the peninsula.
Kowloon is located north of Hong Kong Island and south of the mainland part of the New Territories.
The part of Kowloon south of Boundary Street, together with Stonecutters Island, was ceded from Qing China to Britain under the Convention of Peking of 1860.
Large-scale development of Kowloon began in the early 20th Century, with the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, the Kowloon Wharf, and the Kai Tak Airport.
