Saint Andrew's Church in Kowloon

After that long meal at Chuen Cheong Kui Restaurant, we walked our way from Mongkok to Tsim Sha Tsui. We didn’t really plan on going anywhere as we were just people watching and just wasting time. It was my friend’s first time to walk that stretch and I thought it was quite refreshing despite all the people along Nathan Road. We then got to a portion of Nathan Road which I have ignored all this time. Apparently there is a row of colonial era buildings along Nathan Road and I didn’t know about it.

Saint Andrew’s Church is one of those colonial era buildings and it still stands to this day. St. Andrew’s Church is an Anglican church built in 1906 and it has served a place of worship ever since. The church is built on a small elevated piece of land but there isn’t much of a view to speak of. At the time of my visit there was wedding going on and there are a lot of people posing for photographs. Based on old photos, it seemed that the red brick building once had a steeple, it is long gone now, although much of the church is quite well maintained. Interestingly, the church main doors were off to the sides of the building.
