Sham Shui Po
深水埗
The most authentic old Hong Kong neighborhood, home to Apliu Street, fabric streets and Michelin-starred budget eateries. It is a setting that evokes Hong Kong films.
Sham Shui Po is an older district of Kowloon with dense tong lau tenement buildings, and its street signs and footbridges make up classic Hong Kong street scenes. Apliu Street sells second-hand electronics and parts. Kweilin Street and Yu Chau Street are the fabric and button streets, and Golden Computer Centre is a hub for electronic products. Food options include Tim Ho Wan (Michelin-starred budget dim sum), Lau Sam Kee (hand-pulled bamboo noodles), Hop Yik Tai (rice noodle rolls) and Kung Wo Tofu Factory. The open streets are free, making this ideal for an afternoon of wandering and eating. Sham Shui Po MTR Station.
