Mei Ho House is the only one still standing today while all other buildings of the estate dating from the 1950s have been demolished, being replaced by new ones. Only Mei Ho House was chosen to be preserved as a Grade II Historic building and was transformed into a Youth Hostel in 2013, regenerated by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association.

The temple was built for the god Sam Tai Tsz (also named Na Cha), for his miracle to dissipate an outbreak of plague in 1894 in the area. The god was invited from the temple in Wai Chau by Hakkas. It is the only temple worshipping Sam Tai Tsz, in Hong Kong.
Nam Cheong Pawn Shop (Pass by)
Nam Cheong Pawnshop (Chinese: 南昌押) is located at the junction of Nam Cheong Street and Yu Chau Street which established in 1933. Pawnshops are sunset businesses and are not common in Hong Kong, but they still hold an important function in today’s society. In fact, many traditional local residents and domestic helpers prefer pawnshops to banks. The double doors and screens guarantee privacy; they have long opening hours and do not require any proof of income. The building of Nam Cheong Pawnshop was chosen to be preserved as a Grade II Historic building. You can recognize a pawnshop by the sign that depicts a bat holding a coin. The bet represents fortune, and the coin represents benefits.
Cheung Sha Wan Road Fashion Road
  • 20m
Cheung Sha Wan Road Fashion Street – Looking for brand-names at discounted rates? If you are interested in wholesale clothes, Cheung Sha Wan Road Fashion Street is the place you should not be missed. Sales here are not because of seasonal stock clearance but because these outlets are working with bulk quantities. However bulk is quite small as they are also experienced with working for buyers from small boutiques that visit from around the world. Purchase 10 or 20 of an item here at a few percents of retail costs.
Fuk Wing Street (toy Street)
