In an ever-changing Hong Kong, Sham Shui Po is home to some of Kowloon’s oldest street scenes: a vibrant open-air bazaar, pre-World War Two buildings, a large concentration of public housing, and up-and-coming arts and cultural spaces. Sham Shui Po is also a very welcoming place. It has hosted tens of thousands of refugees and others seeking shelter and safety throughout the 20th century and today, it is one of Hong Kong’s most diverse areas where the city’s poor as well as traders from developing countries around the world can make a living. In many ways, Sham Shui Po typifies the grit, vitality and ingenuity of grassroots Hong Kong, and our walk of the area will show you these aspects of the city in a way that informs and entertains.
