To the west of the Tsing Fung Street flyover is Tin Hau District, while to the east of the junction of King's Road and Java Road is Quarry Bay District. [edit] History In 1880, the British army set up a fort at North Point, beginning the history of North Point. There were no residential buildings in North Point at that time, but the deep water and high shore attracted the construction of steamship companies and warehouse docks. The early headquarters of the Royal China Hong Kong Yacht Club was also established in North Point in the 1900s. In 1919, the Hong Kong Electric Light Company closed its power plant in Wan Chai and built a new power plant in North Point to cope with the surge in electricity demand. In 1921, a sugar factory began to be built locally. However, due to the influence of the Provincial University of Hong Kong, it was later changed to a residential area, which is now the area around Chun Yang Street. In 1935, King's Road was opened to traffic, which promoted the development of the area and turned North Point into a new industrial area. North Point had a small population before World War II, but after the war, with the influx of new immigrants from Shanghai, the population began to increase. The population of new immigrants is mainly concentrated in Chun Yang Street, Java Road, Marble Road and other places, and they mostly live in high-end new buildings. In the 1950s, according to the Guinness Book of World Records at the time, North Point was the most densely populated area in the world. (The current record holder is Mong Kok District in Hong Kong, China.) In addition, North Point also had the title of "Little Shanghai" at that time. With the completion of North Point Village and the opening of North Point Pier in 1957, North Point became even more prosperous. In the 1980s, the new immigrant population became mainly Fujianese, so North Point became known as "Little Fujian".

North Point is located in the middle of the Eastern District of Hong Kong, China, and is also the island of Hong Kong, China The northernmost region. North Point is mainly a residential area, and the population is mainly Fujian, so it is also known as "Little Fujian". Geographical location: North Point covers the area from Tsing Fung Street flyover to the west and to the east of Healthy Road West/Man Hong Street. The Western District of North Point to the west of Fortress Hill Road/Tai Keong Street is generally called Fortress Hill District; the Eastern District of North Point to the east of Tin Chiu Street was once known as the Seven Sisters District, but now only the older generation of residents use this name. Some people also use the junction of King's Road and Java Road as the boundary between North Point and Quarry Bay. History In 1880, the British army set up a fort at North Point, beginning the history of North Point. There were no residential buildings in North Point at that time, but the deep water and high shore attracted the construction of steamship companies and warehouse docks. The early headquarters of the Royal China Hong Kong Yacht Club was also established in North Point in the 1900s.

In 1921, a sugar factory began to be built in the area. However, due to the influence of the Provincial University of Hong Kong, it was later changed to a residential area, which is now the Chun Yang Street area.
In 1935, King's Road was opened to traffic, which promoted the development of the area and turned North Point into a new industrial area. North Point had a small population before World War II, but after the war, with the influx of new immigrants from Shanghai, the population began to increase.

With the completion of North Point Village and the opening of North Point Pier in 1957, North Point became even more prosperous. In the 1980s, the new immigrant population became mainly Fujianese, so North Point became known as "Little Fujian". North Point is located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong, China, and is also the northernmost area of ??Hong Kong Island, China. The area is mainly residential, but many large commercial buildings have been completed in recent years. Because a large number of Fujian people live here, it is known as "Little Fujian". North Point Wan Chai Yellow History There are still many pornographic scenes in North Point. When it comes to Hong Kong’s porn industry, many people will think of the Yau Tsim Mong area. On the other side of Hong Kong Island, the places with the longest history of Huangye industry are undoubtedly Wan Chai and North Point. The North Point Dance Hall and Villa was once the pinnacle of the pornographic industry in North Point. It was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the dance hall was unique and popular, attracting the patronage of many knowledgeable and experienced people. There is a dance hall called "Qiong House" near Metropolis Building in North Point, where guests can dance after work. Due to the high fees of "Qiong Tower", only Shanghainese in North Point District can afford to spend it. Police information shows that there are many "one phoenix on the first floor" in the Crown Building in North Point. The high-priced dance halls also gave birth to some small dance halls with relatively low fees, such as "Snow Palace", "Golden Crown", etc., which were very popular with men at that time. In recent years, there have been very few Fung Sisters in Wan Chai District. This is not because of the success of the anti-pornography campaign, but because the land in the district is valuable, and most of the Fung Sisters have moved eastward to North Point. Villas came into being. By the 1980s, the dance hall industry had declined, and villas came into being. A villa, also known as an "apartment", is a place where guests can play cards and provide sexual services. At that time, villas mostly consisted of five or six rooms. According to rumors, there would be several prostitutes resident in these villas. If guests wanted to find a moment of tenderness after winning or losing money, they could find a resident prostitute. Clubhouses dedicated to playing cards gradually replaced villas. Later, due to the emergence of the "Mahjong Pavilion" specifically for guests to play cards, fewer and fewer people came to the villa to play cards and have fun, and the villa's business plummeted. In recent years, due to the sharp increase in land prices in Wan Chai District, yellow businesses in the district have been transferred to the North Point area.
