Revitalization of public housing in Hong Kong--Mei Ho House Living Center

I took my children on a city walk in Sham Shui Po over the weekend and visited Mei Ho House, an old port-style building. The two-story exhibition hall here shows some scenes of the life of ordinary Hong Kong citizens in the early days. Mei Ho House Living Museum·Public Housing Museum Address: Block 41, Shek Kip Mei Estate, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon (Exit B2 of MTR Sham Shui Po Station) Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays (except public holidays) and the first to third days of the Lunar New Year Closed at 3pm on Christmas Eve and Chinese New Year’s Eve In the early 1950s, a fire caused tens of thousands of people to lose their homes overnight, prompting the Hong Kong government to develop public housing to house homeless victims. Mei Ho House is one such building, built in 1954 and revitalized into a public housing living center in 2013. Here, through the introduction of old photos and some restored models of public housing scenes, the life of the grassroots citizens who lived in the resettlement area more than half a century ago is shown, allowing us to feel the difficult years that our parents experienced and gain a little more understanding. and experience. #Hong KongGood Place #Public Housing Museum #Revitalization #History
