District Information
About Sai Ying Pun
After British army arrival at Possession Point (now Hollywood Park next to Possession Street) in 1841, the 800 or so volunteer soldiers from India and Bangladesh stationed in West Point (hillside of Water Street). Thereafter, the area west of Hollywood Park was called Sai Ying Pun 西營盤, meaning 'Western Garrison'. Flourishing trades required construction of piers, docks, warehouses, and properties to accommodate merchants for rice, dry seafoods, and herbal medicines, and the workers who supported these activities. Even today, one can still find remnants of the early colonial past in the district. World War II brought mass destruction, giving rise to reconstruction of many buildings to four to six storey tenement buildings with shops on ground floor. Rapid population growth and technological advancement necessitate these post war buildings to be redeveloped into highrises.

My wife and I have a total of over 30 years living in HK and renting flats as tenants. We have worked with numerous RE agents in all these years. The experience with Sandy has been by far the best in all these years. Sandy understands clients, is extremely polite and kind, and is always available to help and support throughout the process. I would have never expected that an agency can provide such a high standard of service and we want to thank Sandy for all that she has done. Happy to provide more detailed feedback, if necessary.
