After a devastating fire in 1953 which left over 58,000 residents homeless, the government decided to build the Shek Kip Mei Estate, with Mei Ho House being the first H-shaped resettlement block in Hong Kong. To dive into the complex history of these estates, check out the Heritage of Mei Ho House museum spread across two floors. The lower space features giant murals and themed exhibition areas, complete with historic documents, photos, videos, and interactive experiences that shed light into the daily lives of residents from the 50s to 60s. Meanwhile, the upper level exhibition is designed to replicate typical living units in Mei Ho House, created according to first-hand accounts from former residents. Mei Ho House now serves as a popular youth hostel among backpackers, and was even awarded with Honourable Mention, UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
