Overview

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!

The god was invited from the temple in Wai Chau by the Hakkas. It is the only temple worshipping Sam Tai Tsz, in Hong Kong.
  4. Nam Cheong Pawn Shop
    Pass by
    Nam Cheong Pawnshop is located at the junction of Nam Cheong Street and Yu Chau Street which established in 1933. Pawnshops are a sunset business and are not common in Hong Kong, but they still hold an important function in today’s society. In fact, many traditional local residents and domestic helpers prefer pawnshops to banks. The double doors and screens guarantee privacy; they have long opening hours and do not require any proof of income. The building of Nam Cheong Pawnshop was chosen to be preserved as a Grade II Historic building. You can recognize a pawnshop by the sign that depicts a bat holding a coin. The bet represents fortune, and the coin represents benefits.
