From street sleepers, subdivided flats to modern and luxurious ‘nano’-sized studio flats, Sham Shui Po is a place where you can see a wide spectrum of locals residing in. With its rich history, even it is perhaps known as one of the poorest districts in Hong Kong, it can be a fascinating district if you are interested to go beyond the usual touristy spots. During this tour, we will taste selected local street foods while navigating through busy markets and streets. If you are an artistic and coffee enthusiast, we can also go explore alleys, fabric shops and cafes, and breathe how the district is evolving and gentrifying.
Apliu Street is a busy street with shops and stalls selling all sorts of electronic gadgets. There are second hand electronic cameras, audio equipment and vinyl records too.
This is a bustling wet market and perhaps is also the perfect place to experience Sham Shui Po like a local. The street is lined with stores and stalls that sell fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and all sorts of daily necessities. We can grab a quick bite to eat while browsing though local goods along the street.
During the peak of Hong Kong’s manufacturing boom, Tai Nan Street in Sham Shui Po was home to some factories that produced leather, fabrics and accessories. Today, there are newfound artisans and cafes amid old buildings for us to explore.
