Lai Yuen Amusement Park

It was originally located at Lai Chin Kok, Kowloon. Opened in 1949 and operated for nearly half a century, it was closed and demolished in 1997.

Being the collective memories of many Hongkongers, Lai Yuen was one of my favorite places in my childhood. Now you have an opportunity to experience the classic Hong Kong pastime. Feel free to share your photos and experience here.
