I find this fascinating... if not for Shenmue, I probably wouldn't have learned about this place until much later. I wish there was more photo and film/video documentation of it.

I bought this book years ago for like $80 and it has some of the most amazing photos of Kowloon. It's even more pricey now, but I'd highly recommend it.

The subs don't work on that German documentary they work on this one though:

What a fascinating place, the shenmue version isn't anywhere near as dense as the real version, but more like how the city might have been in the 1960's, with less buildings.
