Where is Shek Tong Tsui?<\/h3>\n

For those who aren\u2019t familiar with Shek Tong Tsui, this hidden gem is a neighbourhood in Sai Wan, and can be thought of as the area closest to the HKU MTR Station. Famously known as Hong Kong\u2019s \u201cred light district\u201d in the early 1900s, the neighbourhood had an amorous reputation before the banning of prostitution. Decades later, Shek Tong Tsui is now mainly quiet and residential. The area is now more known for its hipster cafes and up-and-coming restaurants, which readers can explore using our handy guide below<\/p>\n
