Among the significant discoveries from the excavations were two granite steles found at the main entrance, the south gate of the walled city. These steles are inscribed with ‘South Gate’ and ‘Kowloon Walled City’, offering a glimpse into the city’s history. Additional relics include the remaining foundations of the original city walls, the foundations of the southeast gates, a drainage ditch that follows the inner wall of the walled city, and an adjacent stone-paved street, all of which contribute to the park’s historical significance.

Visitors are welcome to explore the park throughout the year, with access from 6:30 am to 11:00 pm daily.
