YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel

Awarded a 2015 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Honourable Mention for Cultural Heritage Conservation

Originally part of the Shek Kip Mei Estate constructed after a massive fire that left nearly 58,000 homeless in 1953, Mei Ho House is a physical symbol of the beginning of Hong Kong’s public housing policies. The building has been awarded an honourable mention by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation and now serves as a popular youth hostel. The building also houses the Heritage of Mei Ho House museum, which documents the development of public housing and living conditions in Hong Kong from the 1950s to the 1970s. The ‘Memories of Our Days’ exhibition presents two thematic zones that bring scenes of the grassroots lifestyles in the 1950s and 1960s back to life.
