The memorial stone tablet Song Wangtai (or Song Huangtai) in Kowloon City, Hong Kong was officially completed at the end of 1959. According to legend, Zhao Min, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Min, his younger brother, were chased by the Yuan Army and fled to exile here. Later generations carved the words "Song Wangtai" on the big stone to commemorate this event.
The stone tablet of "Song Wangtai" was originally a huge stone, which stood on a hill named "Holy Mountain" at the seaside of Matouyong near the passenger terminal building of Kai Tak Airport. The stone tablet of "Song Wangtai" was moved to its present site about 300 feet away.
Songhuangtai avenue
Songhuangtai Road is a street in front of the main entrance of Songwangtai Garden. It is said that the word "Wang" in Song Wangtai is actually a synonym for the word "Huang". The reason for the name change was that the local people didn't want to anger the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, so the tablet itself was "yellow" rather than "king". In addition, there is a rumor that it was "Song Wangtai" at the beginning and has not changed.
Later, it was pointed out that later generations of the Song Dynasty asked the Hong Kong Government to correct its name and named "Songwangtai Road" as today's "Songhuangtai Road" to safeguard the royal status of Song Gongdi and Song Di-min at that time. Songhuangtai Road was originally a road from Songhuangtai Mountain to Tugwawan Road, hence its name.
