Walking in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, there are
various interesting places such as Legislative Council Building, Man Mo
Temple, Lan Kwai Fong, Wing Lok Street, Central Escalator, etc. Although
there are still some more to explore. Let's come to the famous antique
streets, which are Hollywood Road and Upper Lascar Row.
The
Hollywood Road has a history of one hundred years, and is the first
street in Hong Kong since its inception, as well as a Chinese settlement
in early days. However, there is no relationship between this street
and the famous American film studios. The Hollywood Road got its name
because there was Hollywood planted along the street.
It
is the former Central Police Station in the central part of Hollywood
Road, built in 1864, now quite in ancient Greek style and is a monument
of Hong Kong. Man Mo Temple is also located at Hollywood Road.
There
are nearly a hundred large and small shops selling paintings,
artifacts, antique shops, selling jade, porcelain, bronzes, silverware,
lacquer ware, furniture, paintings, books…
The
history of Lascar Row is also dated back to the early times of last
century, when the Lascar Row was in confusion, and was known for selling
the stolen treasures. Because of this, the buyer searched for
collection like a cat, so Lascar Row is also called "Cat Street". Now,
it has become the genuine distribution center for the business of
cultural relics.
