[edit] About

An antique lover's paradise, Hollywood Road is a street in Central and Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island. This large street is filled with trinket and antique shops of all sorts, from Chinese furniture to porcelain ware, from Buddha sculptures to Tibetan rugs, from Japanese netsuke to Coromandel screens, from Ming dynasty ceramic horsemen to kitsch Maoist memorabilia. It also has numerous small specialty shops that sell unique home accessories and handmade products. Many of them are inside buildings on the upper floors. Built in 1844 by the Royal Engineers, Hollywood Road is now crammed with a multitude of antique shops, which are ideal for picking up eclectic souvenirs and gifts. Over here, you can find everything from Ming dynasty furniture and lotus lamps to Mao badges and ancient snuff bottles.
