SHOPS IN KOWLOON
Many tourists in the past have inade great mistake in not visit- ing the shops in Kowloon which carry a large variety of choice things of special interest to travel- lers,
It is a real disappointment to Kowloon merchants for visitors not to even call on them, after they have gone to not a little trouble" and expense to prapare special dis- plays of goods and to advertise same for their benefit.
We would call the attention of readers especially to the shops in Kowloon whose advertisements ap. pear on this page, as well as others in the vicinity of these shops, which carry a full line of Chinese art curios, silks, embroideries and other choice things.

MAP OF KOWLOON.
KOWLOON & THE NEW TERRITORIES
The original. Chinese city lies some three miles to the East of the steamer and ferry wharves, but the name Kowloon now applies to the big city extending from Kowloon Peninsular towards the hills beyond. The area is mainly residential but the shops in Nathan Road and the arcade of the Peninsula Hotel are well worth a visit. In 168 about four square miles of the Kowloon Peninsula wore ceded to Great Britain as a dependency of Hong Kong, and in 1899 a further area of approximately 280 square miles of mainland and 20 square miles of islands was leased from the Chinese Government for 19 years.
Since the larger area was taken over, rapid development has ensued and there is now an excellent motor road of about 60 miles enabling travellers with but a few hours to spare to penetrate into the heart of the British controlled territory and to enjoy the truly magnificent scenery. The country is well regulated and there is not the slightest danger of molestation. The Chinese inhabitants may be seen at their best in their native surroundings tending their miniature farms and practising their native crafts under the jurisdiction and protection of the Government of Hong Kong.
