Kowloon Walled City 2049 Book Nook Kit


Flickering Neon Signboard, Fading Between Colors
Blending meticulous historical research with imaginative innovation, our book nook captures the gritty charm, crowded architecture, and vibrant neon lights intertwined with futuristic elements.
As you assemble it, experience a realm where gritty history seamlessly merges with futuristic aesthetics, a heartfelt tribute to Kowloon Walled City's enduring legacy, envisioning its extraordinary atmosphere evolved into the year 2049.
What Makes It Special
Because you’re not just building a city, you’re imagining its future.
Neon lights, hidden corridors, and stories from a world that once was, now re-engineered for 2049 in miniature form.
Before You Step Into the Walled City of 2049…
Everything you need to know before you bring Kowloon’s neon-lit chaos to life.
What exactly is the Kowloon Walled City 2049 Book Nook Kit?
Inspired by the now-demolished Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, this kit reimagines how the city might look in the year 2049, a neon-lit labyrinth blending the past and the future. Each detail reflects the contrast between chaotic architecture and glowing cyberpunk life, allowing you to build your own dystopian masterpiece filled with character, nostalgia, and imagination.
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Yes, every ANAVRIN® kit comes with fully functional LED lights that bring your miniature world to life. Each kit includes a pre-wired lighting system with clear instructions showing exactly where to place and connect each light. Once assembled, simply insert 2 × AAA batteries into the battery box, switch it on, and watch your creation glow with warmth and realism. The gentle illumination adds a beautiful, cozy ambiance, perfect for nighttime display or as a unique decorative lamp.
In fact, one of the signboards even features dynamic color-changing lights that shift from red to green to blue, adding a vibrant and lifelike touch that makes your scene feel truly alive.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes, it’s suitable for both newcomers and experienced builders. All pieces are pre-colored, pre-cut, and numbered, so there’s no need for painting or advanced tools. The average build time is around 5 to 7 hours. Simply follow the English instruction manual and watch the Walled City come to life piece by piece.
What’s included inside the box?
The kit comes with everything you need to recreate Kowloon’s iconic maze of neon alleys. Inside, you’ll find pre-colored wooden pieces, LED lighting with a USB cable, a detailed instruction guide, a dust cover for display, and futuristic décor elements like signboards, wires, and miniature storefronts.
(Glue and batteries are not included due to shipping restrictions.)
What makes Anavrin’s kits special?
Every ANAVRIN creation is inspired by our team’s travels, experiences, and imagination. Kowloon Walled City 2049 is our tribute to one of the most densely built and mysterious places in history, re-envisioned through a futuristic lens. We designed it to capture the gritty soul of old Hong Kong combined with the glowing pulse of a cyberpunk future.
Can I gift it to someone?
Absolutely, and it leaves a lasting impression. Each kit arrives beautifully packaged and makes an unforgettable gift for art lovers, sci-fi fans, and creative builders.
✨ 97% of our customers said this was the best gift they’ve received in a long time, offering hours of creativity, focus, and excitement.
What if I break or lose a piece?
Don’t worry! Our support team can send replacement parts so your Walled City remains complete and beautiful. Just contact us and we’ll handle it quickly.
Do I need any extra tools?
You’ll only need a silicone-based craft glue and a pair of scissors or tweezers. Everything else is already included in the box.
Are these suitable for children?
We recommend the kit for ages 10 and above. Many parents have shared that their younger children enjoy building it together with some help. It’s a great way to spark imagination, patience, and creativity while spending time away from screens.
