What shopping streets are there in Hong Kong?
However, the price is not low, especially in some shopping malls, which is even more expensive, so that ordinary people like us can't get over the addiction to buying and can't get along well. In fact, there are many famous shopping streets besides shopping malls in Hong Kong.
Compared with shopping malls, the goods in shopping streets are relatively cheaper, but the variety is complete, not worse than shopping malls. Then, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the shopping streets in Hongkong!
Moro Street (Antique Street)
When you come to Morrow Street, you may see 70.
Movie posters, old calendars, old newspapers and magazines in the 1970s, to introduce Moro Street, a street stall selling antique groceries, we can start with the story behind the street name.
"Molo" on the streets of Molo is what Hong Kong people used to call Indians. In the early days of Hong Kong's opening, many Hong Kong policemen were Indians. They set up a stall in Moro Street near the police station, selling second-hand goods.
So it is called "Moro Street", and its English name is Upper.
LascarRoad(Lascar is an Indian soldier).
Speaking of the English street name of Moro Street, there is actually another one, that is, CatStreet. Maybe you will immediately think that this is a street selling cats, then you are wrong.
Actually, cats
The name street comes from rats. This is because Hong Kong people call stolen goods "rat goods". I heard that there used to be some shops selling "rat goods" here, and the guests who came here to buy things were naturally "cats", so it was also called cats.
Street (Cat Street).
Now, there are no Indian policemen on the streets of Moro, and they are not selling "rat goods".
However, you can still shop in stalls and shops here and look for treasures everywhere like a smart cat! Mao Zedong pins, ancient snuff bottles, ethnic jewelry, etc. It should be the favorite of a group of "hairy cats".

Chunyang Street (Traditional _ Field)
In Hong Kong, the traditional open-air market is not just Chunyang Street, but it is the most distinctive. I'll introduce you to the most enjoyable way to visit Chunyang Street: don't go, take the tram!
Go to the market by tram? Are you kidding? Yes, this is because the tram terminal on Tanshui Road is next to the open-air market in Chunyang Street. Trams will pass through the market before entering the terminal, and vegetable vendors and butchers will set up stalls on the road to sell, thus creating the spectacle of trams entering the market.
You can start taking the tram in Causeway Bay. When the tram turns left from King's Road in North Point into Chunyang Street, you should start to pay attention: if you sit on the upper floor of the tram and look down from the window probe, you will find that the whole tram track is flooded by stalls, wooden trolleys and people!
The road is full of dark heads. Trams only move forward carefully, and people slowly give way when the tram approaches. If you sit on the lower floor of the tram, you can clearly hear the shouts of vegetable vendors and fishmongers in the carriage, and even the meat cutting of pork stalls!
This lively scene makes people forget that they are actually in a tram.
After getting off at Tangshui Street Tram Terminal, you can visit nearby Mabao Road, which is famous for its stalls selling cheap clothes and accessories and daily necessities.
Back to Chunyang Street where the tram passed just now, shops and open-air vendors on both sides of the market, some selling vegetables and meat, and some selling flowers in selling groceries; Every morning or evening, it is crowded with housewives who come to buy food.

Many Hong Kong people like to see Chinese medicine when they are sick, or they like to use Chinese medicine to recuperate their bodies.
Sheung Wan, located in Goldman Sachs Street, was the focus of Hong Kong's economic activities in the early days of its opening. Because Goldman Sachs Street is close to the pier, which is convenient for loading and unloading medicinal materials, it has attracted many medicinal materials stores to open here.

Pu Yuan Street Bird Park
If you look at the old photos of Hong Kong carefully, you will find that in the old teahouse in the past, in addition to the "two cups" on the table, there was a birdcage next to the customers.
In the past, when tea drinkers went to the teahouse to drink tea, they would bring their birds, taste snacks while drinking tea and listen to the birds singing. They will hang the bird cage on the window, open the white cloth on the bird cage and let the birds sing to their heart's content; A cup of tea, two snacks, thrush, lark and Qiang Ming are really a treat.
Now, although the feeling of old Hong Kong no longer exists and no one takes birds to teahouses, you can still go to the Bird Garden in Pu Yuan Street to feel the beauty of birds and flowers and see the elegance of this old Hong Kong.
There are dozens of bird stalls or small shops in the bird garden on Garden Street, which is full of the traditional beauty of China. Before I stepped in, I heard the chirping of birds. In front of every shop inside, there were wooden or bamboo cages.
Shops also sell bird supplies. You can hear birds of all sizes singing here.

There are many factories in Cheung Sha Wan Road, many of which are engaged in fashion wholesale and retail, which are cheaper than specialty stores, and owners of small fashion shops will also come here to purchase goods.
Because some goods are samples of designer brands, finished products at the end of the season, or defective inferior goods, the prices are lower and more attractive, and many office workers who love beauty and budget love to come here.

There are also singers who sing famous Cantonese opera songs, Guangdong pop songs and even western pop songs. There are also some booths for astrologers and professional chess players, which have a strong authentic color, so Temple Street is also called "civilian nightclub".
Temple Street is named after the nearby Tianhou Temple.
