 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.)

pocket watches, you can find them on Cat Street. |
