Ng Chin Hung felt proud about the identity of Nga Tsin Wai’s indigenous inhabitants when he inspected a map that had been drawn by the British army engineer and noted cartographer, Collinson, in 1845. Nga Tsin Wai village was located in the centre of the map, having a trench and a high fort surrounded by a moat. ‘The old town Cowloon’ (sic) was even marked on the map. This was the only sizeable village, and only Nga Tsin Wai in the entire Kowloon that had a ‘city’. Back then, Kowloon Walled City had not yet been built, and Kowloon City as we know it now was still nothing more than a barren plot of land along what is now Fuk Lo Tsun Road. Ng Chin Hung thought that the name ‘Kowloon City’ was actually derived from outsiders’ use of the words ‘Nga Tsin Wai’. It seems that Nga Tsin Wai Road also originally gave its name to the coastal road leading to Nga Tsin Wai.
