Foodies are spoiled for choice with a range of eateries dishing up everything from dim sum and dumplings to freshly baked cakes and cookies.
Explore the narrow alleyways and you will also discover boutiques selling artisanal items. Oelilia is one of them.
Easy to spot thanks to its orange facade dominated by a vibrant wave-shaped mural, Oelilia is a treasure trove of goodies, from leather bags and lamps to ceramics and cards.
The common thread connecting all brands stocked at Oelilia is that they are handcrafted by 22 artists based in Hong Kong, including a range of leather accessories made by owner and Sai Kung resident Hebe Law (@hebelawcraft).

Singaporean chip equipment maker ASMPT sees steady growth behind AI infrastructure boom
Advertisement 'AI tailwinds are driving strong demand across both advanced packaging [AP] and mainstream businesses, and we achieved better-than-expected bookings for the first half of 2025,' CEO Robin Ng said on Wednesday, as the company reported its interim financial results. ASMPT, a global supplier of equipment and software used in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sectors, reported revenue of HK$6.53 billion (US$837.6 million) in the first six months of the year, which slid 0.7 per cent year on year, even as bookings grew 12.4 per cent to HK$7.11 billion. Net profit was down 30.9 per cent to HK$216.9 million. Still, the company's shares rose 3.27 per cent to close at HK$63.20 on Wednesday. ASMPT said it expected third-quarter revenue to be between US$445 million and US$505 million, a 10.8 per cent year-on-year growth that was 'above market consensus', on the back of sustained AP revenue and improved sales at its surface mount technology business.

Hong Kong builder Lai Sun seeks more bank support to refinance US$446 million loan
Hong Kong developer Lai Sun Development has been working to win banks' backing for a HK$3.5 billion (US$446 million) loan refinancing deal, but after about six months of talks, nearly half the lenders still aren't on board, according to people familiar with the matter. The property firm – controlled by local tycoon Peter Lam – has secured commitments from nine out of the original 19 lenders for the five-year refinancing, said the people, who declined to be identified discussing private matters. The existing loan matures on October 5, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. Even if Lai Sun doesn't manage to secure the target amount from all banks, it could still opt to partially repay the loan and refinance the rest, the people said. Lai Sun's financing challenges underscore the depth of Hong Kong's years-long property downturn, which has made banks cautious about lending to developers in the city. The company has already spent longer on its deal than property giant New World Development took to complete its recent record loan refinancing, a process that only materialised after months of negotiations and meetings between banks and regulators. 03:39 Shop occupancy recovers in Hong Kong, but vacant stores still visible across the city Shop occupancy recovers in Hong Kong, but vacant stores still visible across the city Lai Sun's original loan was backed by its Cheung Sha Wan Plaza office tower and shopping centre in Kowloon, and the refinancing would be too. The company has proposed an all-in pricing of about 160 basis points over the Hong Kong interbank offered rate for the refinancing, the people said.
