Jordan Hong Kong - a photo on Flickriver

Jordan Hong Kong

            Jordan is located in the central part of the Yau Tsim Mong District, as suggested by the name of some bus stops nearby. The area (specifically the western portion) was formerly known as Kwun Chung, especially before the MTR metro system went into service in 1979. Jordan became geographically separated from Yau Ma Tei after the MTR named the area subway station "Jordan". As such, it is often claimed that the MTR created Jordan as a separate geographic identity.

Since Jordan is not an official area in Hong Kong, it does not have defined boundaries. However, many consider Jordan to be the area surrounded by Kansu Street to the north, Gascoigne Road and Jordan Path to the east, Austin Road to the south and Ferry Street to the west. This would make Jordan approximately 1 square kilometre (0.4 square miles) in size with a population of about 150,000.

Like most of southern Kowloon, Jordan is entirely developed and urbanised other than a few small parks. Motor and pedestrian traffic throughout most of the day is very dense.
