#02 YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel
第二站：YHA美荷樓青年旅舍

Mei Ho House is one of the first batches of 8 unoccupied buildings after the Shek Kip Mei fire, it is also the only remaining H-shaped resettlement block in Hong Kong and the first design for the same category of public housing. After revitalization, Mei Ho House became a youth hostel, and the Heritage of Mei Ho House was opened on the lower floor. In addition to the historical background of Mei Ho House, the exhibition also reproduces the living environment at that time. The underground exhibition hall shows the community environment in the 1950s and 1960s, such as the exterior of a movie theater, herbal tea shop, and street market. The exhibition area on the first floor shows the living environment of different ages. There is only one main road between the Garden Center and Mei Ho House.

美荷樓是作為石硤尾大火後首批興建的8座徒置大廈的其中一座，亦是現已清拆的石硤尾徙置區唯一被保留「H」形6層高的徙置大廈。美荷樓於2009年被發展局列入「活化歷史建築伙伴計劃」，經過活化後成為青年旅舍，低層開設「美荷樓生活館」。館內除了有美荷樓的歷史背景外，更設有展覽，以重現當時的生活環境。地下展廳展示了五、六十年代的社區環境，例如有電影院外觀、涼茶鋪和街市等。而一樓展區展示了不同年代的居住環境。而嘉頓中心與美荷樓相隔只有一條大馬路。
