Launched in 2008, the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC) is the first art village and art centre in Hong Kong that was revitalized from an entire factory building. The nine-storey building covers an area of approximately 200,000 square feet, and is the operation base for around 140 artists and cultural groups of various types. Around the central garden are "art galleries", exhibition halls, tea houses, coffee shops, creative craft shops, etc.; the Centre has different types of art exhibition spaces, allowing visitors to get into touch with art works through various media. Experience art and culture activities, as well as a creative atmosphere.

The building of JCCAC used to be the Shek Kip Mei Factory Estate that was built in 1977. The Factory Estate owned a number of family-style handicraft workshops, nicknamed as "housing cottages". With the gradual decline of Hong Kong's light industry, units in the building came to be emptied. Afterwards, the building was transformed into today's diversified creative arts village and art centre with the generous sponsor from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

Short Comments: Tourists who take the MTR can exit from Exit B2, go straight along Pei Ho Street, pass through Tai Po Road via a tunnel, turn into Berwick Street, and walk towards Pak Tin Street. When reaching Pak Tin Street, turn right and walk along Shek Kip Mei Village, then you will soon reach JCCAC. Wheelchair users are recommended to enter from the parking lot and then transfer to the lift to the desired floor as they have to pass a lot of steps to the central hall.

Formerly a rickety squatter huts, Mei Ho House is the last remaining example of a “Mark I” building. It is being listed as Grade II Historic Building. As Shek Kip Mei Estate went through redevelopment, the Block 41 Mei Ho House was retained and later revitalized and being transformed into a hostel. Mei Ho House Youth Hostel is located on the ground floor and first floor, where it intends to show visitors how life was like for people living in Hong Kong’s public housing in the past by replicating bathrooms, toilets, groceries, living units, as well as gathering more than 1,200 collections and more than 40 oral historical data.

Short Comments: After visiting JCCAC, you can turn back along the road from Pak Tin Street to Berwick Street, then turn right at the crossing and go ahead, and you will arrive at Mei Ho House. There is a rather big ramp that may require wheelchair users to ask for assistance. If wheelchair users want to go to 1^st floor from the ground floor, they need to ask security at the site for the elevator.

Apliu Street, reputed as "the Akihabara in Hong Kong", is a well-known flea market in Hong Kong. In shops on both sides of the street, all types of electronic parts, AV products, cellphones, tablet PCs, second-hand groceries, etc. are sold. There is enormous number of products in such a low price. You can definitely find what you like if you spend the whole day at Apliu Street. The sides of Apliu Street are quite narrow, and stores mostly have one step at their entrance, making it difficult for wheelchair users to enter. Visitors can only shop along the stands on both sides of the street.

There are dozens of toy and boutique stores on Fuk Wing Street between Nam Cheong Street and Pei Ho Street. Some stores provide retail and wholesale businesses. This is why it is named “Toy Street”. The sides of Fuk Wing Street are quite narrow, and stores mostly have one step at their entrance, making it difficult for wheelchair users to enter. Visitors can only shop along the stands on both sides of the street.

Dragon Centre is a nine-storey high large shopping and recreation centre in Sham Shui Po. It is a shopping centre for grassroots which is rare in Hong Kong. Wheelchair users can access the shopping centre through elevators at the parking lot and/or at the nearby government office. We suggest visitors to take the latter route as it has a flat surface. The shopping centre has an indoor skating rink, a game park, and a food court with around 50 restaurants. However, the dining tables are too high, and the passages are too narrow, making it inconvenient for wheelchair users.

Address：37K Yen Chow Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon

Opening hours:

10 am - 10 pm (except for Chinese New Year holiday)

The public can visit freely without appointments. The Centre may hold various exhibitions and workshops irregularly, so it is recommended to check the latest activity information on our website.
