Yue Man Square (Chinese: 裕民坊; Cantonese Yale: Yuhmàhn fōng) is the town centre of Kwun Tong in Kowloon of Hong Kong. It is also the commercial centre in the area.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Located in the town centre, in late 1950s and early 1960s, the street attracted shops of various trades, including banking, jewellery, fashion, grocery and cinema. Restaurants offered different schools of Chinese cuisines.
Redevelopment
[edit | edit source]The Hong Kong Government had plans to redevelop the town centre.[2] Concerns were raised as many completed projects had destroyed the traditional communities, culture and heritage. The redevelopment, which opened alongside a new bus interchange, opened in April 2021.[3][4]
Education
[edit | edit source]Yue Man Square is in the Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 48. Within the school net are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money) as well as the Kwun Tong Government Primary School.[5]
