Once referred to as 塘西風月 “good times west of the pond”, Shek Tong Tsui was known for celebrating hedonism in style. Restaurants, Cantonese operas and brothels made it the hot destination for cutting loose back in the early 20th century, before reverting to its urban status. Now undergoing a modern revival, the neighbourhood captures a rare balance of an old-school residential community with a steadily blossoming creative and under-the-radar cultural scene.
The passion in this quiet locale is waking up in a big way, so remember the name.
