九龍城寨

Excluded (排除) form the 1898 lease of the New Territories but subsequently claimed by Britain after Qing troops helped villagers resist British rule in the New Territories, this small area became an independent enclave where the British generally took a hands-off approach. Although the Walled City had almost disappeared by the eve of World War II it was revived after the war and after the 1949 revolution.
