★★★★★9 months agoBeen to former kowloon canton railway clock on October 1st, by the time of fireworks 🎇 The surrounding area was nice filled with people. Fireworks added to that nice atmosphere as well. Recommend to people to visit there especially at night🤩 HK police managed the crowd very well for the event👍🏻
