Aside from the well-known shopping and food district, Sham Shui Po also home to a popular historical landmark in Hong Kong, the Mei Ho House. The building has been awarded an honourable mention by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation and now serves as a popular youth hostel. Adventurous travelers can also explore an underground art gallery 100ft Park, at 220 Apliu Street. This tiny gallery, with only 300ft of display space is used both as an artist hangout spot and as a place where local artist can exhibit their work.
The famous instagrammable spot of Sham Shui Po is probably the bright yellow Man Fung Building on Tai Nan Street which was given a face with a mural by Madrid-based street artist Okuda San Miguel. The multi-coloured mural ‘Rainbow Thief’ was completed in 2016 as part of HK Walls’ 2016 city-wide street art festival. The design covers the entire building facade in his signature multi-coloured geometric patterns, which come together in the shape of a bear.
