Kowloon Tsai (Chinese: 九龍仔) is a place between Kowloon City and Kowloon Tong in Hong Kong. It was formerly a village in valley and now the place became low density residential area in New Kowloon. Due to the ambiguity of the area's west boundary (Junction Road serves as Kowloon Tsai's east boundary) and the opening of the nearby Kowloon Tong Station in 1979, it is now frequently regarded as a part of the Kowloon Tong area.
