Sham Shui Po is still Sham Shui Po

Sham Shui Po has recently become the home of several trendy shops, hip cafés and art spaces that have an entrepreneurial spirit. The district was prosperous in the 1950s and 60s during the light industry era. More recently it has been labeled as one of Hong Kong poorest districts but it has also become a place where local artists, designers and entrepreneurs have applied their artistic expression and creativity, making it more unique with rich and local cultural characteristics. Guided by the locals (also known as kaifongs), this tour will explore the historical textile areas and experimental art spaces in Sham Shui Po. Besides experiencing the cultural connections within the community, you will also gain insight into SSP’s economic activities from the main streets to the back alleys.
