Cat Street
Upper Lascar Row, Sheung Wan

If you're looking for antiques or antique-like knick knacks and collectibles, Cat Street, or Upper Lascar Row, on Hong Kong Island is one place you would want to do your hunting.

Legend has it that its nickname of "Cat Street" came from the old days when it was the place to go to buy back one's stolen property. (Nowadays, Ap Liu Street may be a better place for that.)
