This street is one of the last in Hong Kong with a cluster of Chinese-style tenement buildings kept intact. In this fast paced city where the shiny and new are revered, buildings which are 30 years old are considered ancient. Entire areas get slated for ‘urban renewal’ meaning demolition and/or redevelopment. Luckily these 11 buildings built in the early 1950s have been saved from the wrecking ball due to public pressure in 2010. It’s a quiet car-free street which was once home to 11 printing shops. There's a small display on the ground floor of one of the buildings describing the history of the street.
