Plans are afoot to transform SoHo. Have your say at the carnival there this Sunday
TO THOSE IN the know, SoHo is the laid-back, funky nightlife scene of Hong Kong. It is quieter and less frenetic than other entertainment districts and, as the art gallery hub of Central, is also the place where creative types hang out.
But for visitors to Hong Kong, it could almost be a case of blink and you miss it.
It has only been in recent times that SoHo has been designated as a district at government level, and only two or three years that its name has appeared in tourism brochures.
Even after they get there, visitors may not be sure that they have found it because of a shortage of signage.
With its identity now at last officially recognised, SoHo is about to be thrust firmly into the limelight. A grand plan has been unveiled to give it an extreme makeover, ahead of its debut as a world-class dining venue.
