Ngau Tau Kok (Chinese: 牛頭角) is an area of East Kowloon in Hong Kong, in the north of Kwun Tong District next to Kowloon Bay. Largely residential, with a population in excess of 210,000, it covers Jordan Valley, Ngau Tau Kok and upper Kwun Tong town centre. In Chinese, Ngau Tau Kok means ox horn or ox head cape: before the reclamation of Kowloon Bay, the coastline of Ngau Tau Kok was shaped like the horn of an ox.
