Kowloon Walled City
In the mid 19th century, there was a market outside Kowloon Walled City. To maintain a fair trade, a group of local Chinese set up a common scale and collected service charges from users for charity services such as free medical consultation and burial services. In 1880, "the Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon" is officially registered as a charity organisation.
