The forgotten: The poor side of hong kong

[The tour is by reservation only and is a paid event. The tour tips will be collected at the beginning of the tour. $300 per head. ]

Hong Kong is known for its wealth gap. One-fifth of Hongkongers live in poverty. Homelessness is on the rise in Hong Kong.

Where do people go if they want to get legal drugs ( Methadone ) ? Where do the poor go if they run out of people? Where do the poor go if they get sick? Where do the poor go if they want to have a hair cut?

In the 3 hours tour, I will show you how the poor people make a living and where the homeless people stay. From globalisation to government policy, some hong kongers struggle to make ends meet. By the end of the tour, you will understand the difference between the rooftop house, subdivided flats, coffin house and cage house.

Strongly suggest visitors to come, and discover the other side of Hong Kong.

We will meet at Sham Shui Po MTR Exit D2 (Kweilin Street).
