Blackhead Point was the old name of Signal Hill, which is a small hill originally on the tip of Kowloon Peninsula. Typhoon signals were once hoisted at a building beside the Signal Tower, which was built to install a timeball for the Observatory to signal accurate time for ships. Blackhead Point, once also a military defence battery, marked the tip of the original coastline of Kowloon Peninsula. Large scale land reclamation later took place in Tsim Sha Tsui and Blackhead Point's location has become inland. The Chinese name of Blackhead Point is '大包米', which means a big bag of rice.

Western Market was built in 1906. It used to be a market in the British colonial period. It was assessed by the Antiquities and Monuments Advisory Board and enlisted as a H.K. Declared Monument in 1990, renovated, and turned into a tourist spot in 1991 with shops selling traditional art and craft, clothes, cloth, and other tourist attractions. It was characterized by the 'bandaged brickwork' of the four corner towers. The Chinese Wikipedia classified it as Edwardian architecture and the English Wikipedia classified it as Queen Anne revival style - which is a subcategory under Edwardian.
