The area around Blake Garden (left) in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong is the antithesis of bar- and restaurant-heavy SoHo, just a few blocks away. Named after a street called Po Hing Fong, which bisects the neighborhood, PoHo was until recently a sleepy residential area, home to family-owned shops and low-income housing units called tong laus. In recent years, a number of galleries, design firms and cafes have moved in, attracted by the area's low rents and quiet, low-key vibe. Gentrification hasn't diminished the neighborhood's charm, though; it remains a calming reprieve from the often overwhelming energy of Hong Kong.
