Yue Man Square (Chinese: 裕民坊; pinyin: Yùmín Fáng; Cantonese Yale: yúh màhn fōng) is the town centre of Kwun Tong in Kowloon of Hong Kong. It is also the commercial centre in the area.[1]
History
Located in the town centre, in late 1950s and early 1960s, the street attracted shops of various trades, including banking, jewelry, fashion, grocery and cinema. Restaurants offered different schools of Chinese cuisines.
Future
The Hong Kong Government have planned to redevelop the town centre.[2] Much concern has been aroused as many completed projects destroyed the traditional communities, culture and heritage. As of 2014, Yue Man Square is under demolition by the Urban Renewal Authority.
