Dragon Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragon Centre (西九龍中心) is a shopping centre in the Sham Shui Po district of Kowloon in Hong Kong. The shopping centre spans 10 storeys. Sunlight can shine from the window on the roof to the first floor. A bus terminus is located on the ground floor, and the ninth floor features a roller-coaster which hangs from the roof, as well as a skating rink. The shopping centre is the largest in the west Kolwoon area between Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan. The leading tenant is Sincere, a department store.
Located beside the historic Sham Shui Po Police Station, the centre was built on the site of the former Sham Shau Po Camp, a prisoner-of-war camp for Commonwealth forces captured during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, which was also used to house Vietnamese refugees in the late 1970s and 1980s (see boat people).
