Starstreet Precinct

The hilly area of the streets was the earliest burial ground assigned by the Hong Kong Government in 1841 for the non-Chinese population.

Having acquired a large number of properties there, they started transforming the area into a commercial neighbourhood.

They retained ownership of the car parks, shops and restaurants, and went into such details as designing specific street signs.

The area has now evolved into a shopping and dining area with cafés restaurants, bars, galleries, florists and home design outlets as well as arts and cultural programmes like art exhibitions, charity events and cultural performances.

Together with a landscaped environment, these shops have significantly modified the area's economic profile and aspect.
