  1. The diocese refer themselves as located at 139 Ma Tau Chung Road, Kowloon, without mentioning any neighbourhood or district, in English, [4] while the cathedral refer themselves in Chinese as located at 135 Ma Tau Chung Road, Kowloon City, Kowloon, without the word "District" in the address. [1] Secondary sources[ citation needed ] such as Complete City Guide of Hong Kong 2018, however, list the church as located in the Ma Tau Wai area. [5] Sub-district level areas of Hong Kong usually[ weasel words ] have no legally defined boundaries. Kowloon City District is the district where Kowloon City, Ma Tau Chung and Ma Tau Wai are located, among other areas.
