About Sau Mau Ping
Where to stay in Sau Mau Ping
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms are the missing piece. The blocks of Sau Mau Ping were built for living in, not for visiting, so anyone sleeping nearby books down in the wider Kwun Tong District or west across Kowloon and rides back up. Hiu Kwong Street Sports Centre is the exception worth naming.
Take the Kwun Tong District option for the short hop back, or Kowloon if the rest of Hong Kong weighs heavier.
About Sau Mau Ping
What are the main landmarks in Sau Mau Ping?
Sport fills the landmark slot here. What Sau Mau Ping and the ground around it hold instead is a run of public sports halls: Hiu Kwong Street Sports Centre and Ngau Tau Kok Road Sports Centre take their names from streets, while Kowloon Bay Sports Centre stands out toward the bay it is named for. Three more stand beyond it, in the estates east of Kwun Tong District: Tseung Kwan O Sports Centre, Tsui Lam Sports Centre and Po Lam Sports Centre.
What is the history of Sau Mau Ping?
Beginnings here are barely written. The written record treats Sau Mau Ping as one area inside Kwun Tong District, without a charter or a founding date to call its own, so most of the writing about it is really writing about the district. The dates all belong to Kwun Tong District.
What the quarter keeps of its own building are the public halls that carry local street names, Hiu Kwong Street Sports Centre among them.
Where is Sau Mau Ping?
