'''Hung Hom''' ({{lang|yue|紅磡}}, {{IPA|yue|hȍŋ hɐ̄m}}) is an area in the southeast of [[Kowloon Peninsula]], [[Hong Kong]]. Including the areas of [[Whampoa Dock|Whampoa]], [[Tai Wan, Hung Hom|Tai Wan]], [[Hok Yuen]], [[Lo Lung Hang]] and [[No. 12 Hill]] are administratively part of the [[Kowloon City District]], with a portion west of [[Hung Hom Bay]] in the [[Yau Tsim Mong District]]. Hung Hom serves mainly residential purposes, but it is mixed with some industrial buildings in the north.

==Geography==
Hung Hom is in the southeast of the [[Kowloon Peninsula]]. It is bordered by [[Victoria Harbour]] in the south, [[King's Park, Hong Kong|King's Park]] in the west, [[No. 12 Hill]], [[Hok Yuen]] and the valley [[Lo Lung Hang]] in the north.

==History==
Originally, Hung Hom was much smaller than the present-day context. [[Hung Hom Bay]] has been partially [[Land reclamation in Hong Kong|reclaimed]] several times since 1850, expanding the area of Hung Hom as a consequence. [[Rumsey Rock]], formerly located in the bay, was buried in the reclamation process. Later a town was developed eastward parallel to the [[Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock]].

Hung Hom was renamed to "Yamashita District" ({{lang|ja|山下區}}) during the [[Japanese occupation of Hong Kong|Japanese occupation]] from 1941 to 1945.<ref>Philip Snow: The Fall of Hong Kong. 2003. {{ISBN|0300093527}} page 159</ref> It was one of the few places to be renamed.
