Did gangsters really run Ho King Shopping Centre? Here at the corner of Fa Yuen Street and Dundas Street, stands the Ho King Shopping Centre. It’s hard to believe this seemingly ordinary building was once a hotbed for pirated goods and illicit activities. Ho King Shopping Centre opened its doors in the 1980s. It was a mecca for video game enthusiasts. Then, organized crime moved in. The once family-friendly arcade transformed into a hub for pirated VCDs and other illegal merchandise. Promoters’ slogans echoed through the halls of Ho King Shopping Centre, becoming part of Hong Kong’s alternative culture. The government frequently raided the mall. They tried to shut down the illegal operations. Despite these efforts, Ho King Shopping Centre continued to thrive. In 2005, the second floor underwent a transformation. It was reborn as a pop culture market for youth. The move aimed to revitalize the mall and attract a new generation of shoppers. Today, Ho King Shopping Centre stands as a testament to Hong Kong’s ever-evolving landscape. It’s a place where the past and present collide. It continues to draw crowds seeking unique finds and a taste of local culture.
