Ho King Commercial Building

Ho King Commercial Building, Commercial building in Mong Kok, Hong Kong

Ho King Commercial Building is a 29-storey tower completed in 1983 at the junction of Dundas Street and Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok. Its lower three levels form the Ho King Shopping Centre, with ground-floor printing shops and upper floors of small game, computer and youth-goods stalls; floors 3 and 4 were converted into a cafe and a bookstore.

Ho King Commercial Building was completed in 1983 as a 29-storey tower with a three-level shopping centre. In the 1990s its second floor became known for shops selling pirated and pornographic discs, and between January and June 2001 police conducted 384 inspections there, arresting 84 people and seizing over 295,000 pornographic VCDs and more than 20,000 DVDs. In 2005 the second floor was renovated as a youth market called \"Chiu Yan Chiu Dei\".

The building's name, Ho King, means "good view", though the views are of Fa Yuen Street's market stalls. In the 1990s touts at the entrance shouted slogans to sell discs, a practice the English Wikipedia calls alternative culture. Since 2013 upper floors have held band rooms and music centres, and late-night noise complaints are common.

The building stands at the junction of Dundas Street and Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, not at Yau Ma Tei station. In November 2015 all four lifts failed after serious flooding, and traders had to use the stairs; on 7 December a 68-year-old trader collapsed on the 15th-floor stairway and died. Check lift service before relying on upper floors.

In April 1999 police closed the whole arcade and evacuated over a hundred people after a bomb was found near the first-floor rear staircase; the bomb disposal unit destroyed it with two controlled explosions. In 2015 four flooded lifts failed, forcing traders to use the stairs.
