Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong. Destroyed in 1994.
In the beginning it was just a small city but through time people started building more and more on top of the existing buildings to the point where it just became one building. Sunlight wouldn’t even make it into the the insides of the city so electricity was wired through the whole thing in order to have lamps set up in the halls.
Here’s a documentary on Kowloon Walled City if anyone’s interested, Hope you don’t mind subtitles!

when i was in middle school i was obsessed with the triads and tongs and kowloon was like my favorite setting it seemed...
I think they turned it into a park, I’m kind of sad I’ll never get to see it
