Let's Go Shopping

Summary

Hong Kong was once a renowned shopping paradise. Good stuff with a reasonable price was the incentive of a Hong Kong trip. Diversity of roadside shops not only pleased the tourists, but also a fond part of our memory. However, with the soaring rental, only big brand chain stores can be found in the main street. The old and character shops are surviving persistently at the edge of the city. These old mom-and-pop stores and character shops, or small shops, are mostly founded with cultural heritage, tradition, passion and dreams. With the rapid urban development and skyrocketing rental, the owner of small shops are well aware of their lifespan may not be lasting. However, they commit to fight till the end. Author Mr MW Cho, who is indulging in the cultural side of the Central and Western District, helps Ho Ho Go handpicked some small shops for guests to do their shopping^. These shops located at the heritage trail designed by the Central and Western Concern Group*, a local heritage conservation group actively protecting the historic and cultural landscape of the city.Many traces of Hong Kong lifestyle from the 19th Century and Post-war period can be found along the trail. The historical significance of the area speaks itself. Guests can to do their shopping and grasp a cup of nice coffee en route. At the end of the tour, niche perfume shop ParfumerieTrésor will present each guest a small gift# to mark their visit.
