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”. The golden seam separating humans and artificial intelligence creatures in the time portal flashes in under Tung Chau Street Flyover during the weekends!
A variety of inspiring workshops supported by Sham Shui Po retailers and local communities are available in the market. Cyber up by joining the lively market activities in the parallel universe!
