Sham Shui Po has always been the fashion & design hub of Hong Kong. With its vividness and specialty, it is frequently seen as part of the futuristic aesthetics in cyberpunk films and is undoubtedly the “Heart of Cyberpunk”. In order for the public and visitors to truly embrace this unique local culture, #ddHK is launching the latest placemaking initiative -- “Heart of Cyberpunk”.
The story background of “Heart of Cyberpunk” sets forth in Sham Shui Po, the time portal that signifies “High Tech, Low Life”. Two guided tours specially designed for the "Cyberpunk" will take place in the virtual world and the real world respectively. Either live broadcast tour”SSP CYBERPUNK VOYAGE” or physical route tour “SSP CYBERPUNK STORY” will be guided by local residents, showing off the hidden alleys, the secret spots and tell stories of growing up in the area, allowing the participant to truly see Sham Shui Po from a different angle.
Whether you visit Sham Shui Po from the virtual world or the real world, you will discover many cultural treasures hidden in Sham Shui Po.
