Design District Hong Kong (#ddHK) is a creative tourism project that celebrates authentic culture and creativity and, through design elements, livens up unique local neighbourhoods in Hong Kong. Launched in 2018, #ddHK has transformed different neighbourhoods into new tourism destinations filled with characteristics, and has become a well-acclaimed creative cultural tourism project. A brand new #ddHK event themed “Creative Journey · Infinite Discovery” will take place from 12 December 2024 to 14 February 2025, integrating creative elements with the cultural, heritage and natural offerings of Tsuen Wan and Sha Tau Kok and leading visitors to immerse themselves, discovering the distinctive characteristics and unique charm of these diverse districts.
Through cross-sector collaboration, #ddHK also curates a series of activities filled with local flavour, including themed guided tours, cultural and eco workshops, live performances, weekend markets, and many others throughout the event period. Tourists and locals alike are invited to explore and experience the infinite possibilities brought by the two lovely neighbourhoods.
About Tsuen Wan
Tsuen Wan is an emerging destination for immersive travel, attributable to its multi-faceted characters evolved in an organic manner. It is where history meets creativity, intangible cultural heritages mixed with chic lifestyle, and vibrant cityscape immersed in natural scenery. Well connected externally by two rail lines and internally by a district-wide footbridge network, a day trip there cannot be easier.
About Sha Tau Kok
Sha Tau Kok is a township in the northeastern-most part of Hong Kong adjacent to the Mainland. It has been a Frontier Closed Area with restricted access for decades, but when it was progressively opened up for tourism in recent years, many visitors have been immediately attracted by the lesser-known history, culture and natural elements there. Apart from its unique attractions, Sha Tau Kok is also where tourists may easily access to the stunning nearby islands and villages, such as Lai Chi Wo, Kat O, Ap Chau and Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, by water-borne transport.
