Apliu Street is a busy street with shops and stalls selling all sorts of electronic gadgets. There are second hand electronic cameras, audio equipment and vinyl records too.

This is a bustling wet market and perhaps is also the perfect place to experience Sham Shui Po like a local. The street is lined with stores and stalls that sell fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and all sorts of daily necessities. We can grab a quick bite to eat while browsing though local goods along the street.

During the peak of Hong Kong’s manufacturing boom, Tai Nan Street in Sham Shui Po was home to some factories that produced leather, fabrics and accessories. Today, there are newfound artisans and cafes amid old buildings for us to explore.

Sham Shui Po was formerly a bay where many fishing junks berthed. The fishing folks looked to the supernatural power to keep them safe on the sea and built this temple in honor of Tin Hau, the Goddess of the Sea in 1913. The temple originally faced the seashore and had good Fung Shui. Nowadays, it is tucked in the midst of high-rise buildings.
