Heritage of Mei Ho House

We will start our tour by bringing you back to the year of the 1960s, visit “Mei Ho House” of Shek Kip Mei Public Housing Estate – the oldest public housing complex in Hong Kong. Shek Kip Mei Housing Estate consisted of 29 concrete blocks, built in 1954 to resettle the homeless victims from the burnt down shanties. Mei Ho House is the only one still standing today while all other buildings of the estate dating from the 1950s have been demolished, being replaced by new ones. Only Mei Ho House was chosen to be preserved as a Grade II Historic building and was transformed into a Youth Hostel in 2013, regenerated by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association. It contains the Mei Ho House Museum, showcasing the oldest public housing history of the local community, through a mixture of donated exhibits and first-hand anecdotes from the former residents and the evolution of public housing and folklife.
