Overview

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.

    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.
  3. Tai Nan 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.
  4. Tin Hau Temple (sham Shui Po)
    5m
    Sham Shui Po was formerly a bay where many fishing junks berthed. The fishing folks looked to the supernatural power to keep them safe on the sea and built this temple in honor of Tin Hau, the Goddess of the Sea in 1913. The temple originally faced the seashore and had good Fung Shui. Nowadays, it is tucked in the midst of high-rise buildings.
