Shamshuipo, Yaumatei -- these not Central parts of Hong Kong are no less enchanting to many.
Although land development and redevelopment are happening everywhere, these areas still maintain
some age-old family businesses, unchained-stores and a relatively simple life-style. The wonderfully
mixed tranquility and excitement offered here are what make the areas so unique.
