Encyclopedia of Hong Kong Old Shops
Nowadays, Hong Kong is home to a large number of shopping malls and department stores, providing a wide range of daily necessities and entertainment needs, and people can also choose to shop online and spend without leaving home. However, before the 80s of the last century, it was the large and small shops that provided the daily necessities of the public. These shops include shops selling daily necessities, clothing repairers providing livelihood services, skirt shops selling and renting festive wedding dresses, and herbal tea shops offering entertainment and local delicacies. Although these old shops are small in space and do not have flashy and fashionable decorations, they carry Hong Kong's culture and memory, witness the development of Hong Kong's economy and people's livelihood, and even record the stories of several generations.
This book will take you back in time and space into the streets of Hong Kong before the 80s of the 20th century, visiting 15 traditional old shops. When you go back to the modern era, remember to look at what similar stores look like today and think about what they bring you!
