The name of Kowloon originated from such an allusion. According to legend, once upon a time, there was a son of heaven on patrol. When he came to Kowloon, he looked everywhere, but when he saw eight mountains around him, he wanted to kill him with the "Eight Dragons". The attendant reminded the emperor that he himself was the dragon among people and should be nine dragons, so the emperor named the place "Kowloon".
