Sham Shui Po, located in the northwest of the Kowloon Peninsula, is one of the early development areas in Hong Kong with a long history. The characters ‘埗’, ‘埔’, and ‘埠’ are interchangeable, indicating that Sham Shui Po was once a bustling deep-water dock. Today, it is primarily known for its textile and garment manufacturing, as well as wholesale and retail of clothing and food products.
The clothing wholesale industry is a distinctive feature of this area, with numerous wholesale shops that also cater to local residents, allowing tourists to purchase affordable and stylish clothing.
Moreover, Sham Shui Po is home to two of Hong Kong’s largest computer hardware markets: Golden Computer Centre and Golden Computer Arcade, as well as the famous electronics street, Apliu Street, making it the heart of Hong Kong’s electronics market.
