Farming in Yaumatei

Yes, you can actually farm in Yaumatei. These people are growing vegetables on tiny plots of land provided by the government in the shadow of high rises.

The location was part of the typhoon shelter but is now part of the reclaimed lands of West Kowloon. Apparently, while the land is idling and awaiting development, some smart government officials decided to make it available for citizens to do a bit of farming.

These city farmers seem to be enjoying themselves. Indeed they should. Who would have thought it is possible to farm in the middle of Kowloon today at no cost?

This time, the responsible government officer(s) should be applauded for doing something right. Even though it is too good to last.
