Private Walking Tour: Sham Shui Po Neighborhood
What lies beyond Hong Kong's dazzling skyscrapers and vibrant shopping districts? If you’ve ticked off the typical tourist spots, it’s time to step out of the bubble and explore the city’s rich history.
Join us as we journey back to the 1960s, starting at the Mei Ho House in Shek Kip Mei, the oldest public housing complex in the city. From there, we’ll visit Shum Shui Po, also known as Deep Water Pier, and explore the Golden Shopping Center, a hub for video games and software. Don’t miss Apliu Street Market for electronics and Fook Wing Street Market for unique toys. Finally, wander down Cheung Sha Wan Road Fashion Street for wholesale clothing deals. Rediscover the authentic charm of Hong Kong!
