A Hong Kong Street Switches From Ships to (Michelin) Stars

As rentals escalate in neighboring districts, the once nondescript Ship Street in Wanchai, Hong Kong - which sits on reclaimed land where ships once docked for repairs - is fast becoming the site du jour for trendy dining outposts headlined by a coterie of big-name chefs lining the narrow side street.

Perhaps most telling of its gentrification is 18 Ship St., where the street's only preserved tong lau (pre-1960s Chinese shophouse) has been home to a private kitchen, Yin Yang, a Ship Street stalwart, since 2008. Yin Yang has recently relocated.
