Hong Kong City Tour: Second Stop: To Kwa Wan, Local Feelings on the “City Edge”

#September Good Places 2025 September Chill burst good places, must take pictures📍 To Kwa Wan, a place full of Hong Kong authentic life atmosphere, although not as bustling as Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, but here, you will feel the colorful architecture, slow living vibes

👣Citywalk route super recommended🚶♂️🚶♀️
From To Kwa Wan MTR Station:
- To Kwa Wan Market (Red Apple)
- Yongxiang Ice Room
- Picked up in the evening
- 13th Street (13th Street, Ma Tau Kok | Address: 15 Peng Cheng Street, Ma Tau Kok, Hong Kong)
- Cowshed Arts Village (Address: 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong | Open 10:00-22:00 year-round)
- Yongchang roasted beans
- Mei Wah Industrial Building (A Better Tomorrow)
- Heart of the Sea Park
- Lok Min New Village
- Backrest Lung Road Playground

As soon as you get out of the MTR👀, you will see the red apple logo of To Kwa Wan Market, it is an icon in the area! Residents like to call it "Red Apple", take minibuses say "Red Apple down!" D Building architecture is a bit better, the attic round window design is influenced by the 80s space boom, super modern feel!

Cowshed Art Village, formerly Ma Tau Kok Livestock Quarantine Station 🏛, more than 100 years old, revitalized in 2001 as a cultural and arts base, red brick walls + Victorian style strong atmosphere, weekly exhibitions, arts and cultural activities, check-in + feel the local art atmosphere is great!

13th Street, 13 streets connecting 50-year-old buildings, contrasting color design strong taste, nostalgic fans must visit! Mei Wah Industrial Building is the filming location of "Heroes in Character". You can feel the nostalgic atmosphere of Hong Kong movies in the 1990s when you walk by.

Want to enjoy yourself? Recommend Sang Roastery! (Address: 114 To Kwa Wan Road, Ma Tau Kok), neighbors roast their own coffee, often fragrant, coffee beans can be bought on the spot. There is also Yong Hing Ice Cream Parlor, half a century of nostalgic old shop, Western toast a second back to childhood, super delicious ~

To Kwa Wan is really slow and warm. It's perfect for a holiday to feel the local culture and humanity! 🥰
