There are flats that are only as big as matchboxes and a lot of activity all over Hong Kong when you first get there. It might feel like you’re walking into a busy beehive. For people who are new to the area, secret gems like 黀竈坑 迷你倉 may make adjusting a lot easier, especially when it comes to living years of their lives in tiny apartments.

Moving to a new country always leaves behind a pile of “stuff you can’t throw away but can’t possibly fit into a Sheung Wan shoebox.” You might not need ten bags full of winter jackets for nine months of the year but can’t bear to get rid of them. It could be the snowboard from Zurich or grandma’s old dresser. Ministorage acts as a quiet helper. If someone at work doesn’t believe you, you don’t have to sell your best bike or hide Grandma’s lamp. Take it a short drive south and hide it somewhere no one can see it.

Everyone knows that Hong Kong flats aren’t very big. The Census and Statistics Department says that the average size of a private home’s living room is 500 square feet. Four people in a family? Things get even tighter. With ministorage, things are less stressed. Many people rent a unit as a “city attic” to store seasonal items, business papers, or even kids’ toys that won’t fit in their new apartment.

You could tell someone about these storage areas the next time they say that city life is too busy. They give people in Hong Kong a place to go in a busy, lively city. For newcomers in one of Asia’s biggest cities, it’s a rare moment of order while they deal with jet lag, look for a place to live, and fill out school applications. I also think that somewhere in a Southside jail cell might be a little excitement.
