Sham Shui Po, Traditional neighborhood in Kowloon, Hong Kong

The district features narrow streets lined with textile shops, electronics markets, and local food establishments between residential buildings and commercial spaces.

The area transformed after World War II when refugees from the Chinese Civil War established communities and developed a textile manufacturing industry.

The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre houses over 140 artist studios in a former factory building, maintaining the industrial heritage while supporting modern creativity.

The central MTR station provides direct access to the district, while numerous buses and minibuses connect visitors to other parts of Hong Kong.

The district retains specialized streets dedicated to specific trades, including Button Street for sewing supplies and Apliu Street for electronics.
