Lung Kwu Tan (English: Lung Kwu Tan, formerly spelled Lung-ku-tan) is located to the west of Tuen Mun in the New Territories of Hong Kong. The area features several unique structures, including two of Hong Kong’s major power plants, as well as numerous barbecue sites. It is also said that Lung Kwu Tan is the location of the “Huangkong Shoal” (or “Huankong Shoal”) mentioned in the poem “Crossing the Lingding Ocean” by the Southern Song Dynasty general Wen Tianxiang (another theory suggests that Huangkong Shoal is located in Wan’an County, Jiangxi Province, and is one of the Eighteen Shoals of the Gan River).
The Red House was formerly known as the "Castle Peak Farm." It was originally owned and operated by Li Jitang, the son of a Hong Kong businessman. He met the then-obscure Sun Yat-sen on a ship bound for Japan, later joined the Revive China Society, and provided the "Castle Peak Farm" for its use. During the revolutionary period, the Hong Kong government at the time focused solely on developing the areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The New Territories were considered barren land, and the Castle Peak area was particularly remote and rarely frequented, making the "Castle Peak Farm" an ideal location for a secret base. Revolutionaries stored weapons, trained soldiers, and plotted their cause here. The Huizhou Gengzi Uprising orchestrated by revolutionary figures including Dr. Sun Yat-sen, as well as the Guangzhou Huanghuagang Uprising, were planned at the Red House. It served as a gathering place for oath-taking and as a supply depot for arms, provisions, and funds. This highlights the crucial role the Red House played in the anti-Qing revolution, making it a site well worth visiting.

Built on the former site of the Qing dynasty Kowloon Walled City at Jat Chuen Road in Kowloon City, the park covers an area of 31,000 square meters. When the territory north of Kowloon was leased in 1898, it was explicitly stated that the walled city was not included. As a result, over the next nearly hundred years, numerous conflicts arose due to governance issues in the area. Additionally, the unique environment of the place led to a long period of lawlessness and disorder, making it a notorious blot on the urban landscape. Eventually, in 1987, the Chinese and British governments reached an agreement to convert the site into a park.
