A converted 1954 public housing block in Sham Shui Po — one of the only surviving examples of the earliest generation of Hong Kong public housing, turned into an award-winning hostel with private rooms and dormitories. The Sham Shui Po neighborhood is Hong Kong's most authentic for electronics markets, fabric vendors, and old-school noodle shops. A unique and notably Hong Kong budget experience far removed from the Tsim Sha Tsui tourist corridor.

The Sham Shui Po neighborhood offers Hong Kong’s most authentic street markets, noodle shops, and electronics vendors. A notably unique budget experience far from the tourist corridor.
