Last day in SSP, I continue to explore the area where URP is about to take place,a few blocks to the southwest of the SSP station,followed the route I searched online:Yen Chow St.----Tai Nan St.---Yee Kuk St.---Haitan St.---Tung Chau St.
The Yen Chow St. Hawker Bazaar impressed me most, it's like a squatter fabric market and you can find almost any fabric you want with a good price.I tried interview the stall owners but they seemed to be Cantonese speaker and hate to be bothered,after be refused unfriendly several times,I was really embarrased,but fortunately，I successed to get an interview with an elderly owner even he didn't want to be in the camera that I only recorded our conversation.He told me they used to run their bussness in the underground mall where locates the tube satation now,and the government moved the market to where they were right now in order to make room for the station constraction, and they were promised to stay here temporarily，but they have been there for 32 yrs since the promise from the government, and they don't know how much longer they have to wait for the promise to be achieved.
I never doubt the URP would give a better living conditions to the residents and bussnessmen,but temporary placements seems to be a problem, especially for those lower income class.
the location of this market
And I found another replacement market under the West Kowloon Corrador, but this one is much better that at least they are phisical buildings.
