"Cat Street Is a Purr-fect Place to Shop for Kitsch and Curios Cat Street, also known as Upper Lascar Row, is the purr -fect place to browse for kitsch and curios that make great gifts for friends back home. In contrast to the expensive antiques sold along the parallel Hollywood Road, colorful Cat Street is a fun jumble of the quirky: snuff bottles, silk slippers, embroidered things, vintage jewelry and clothes, old propaganda posters, and Chairman Mao–themed everything. The bustling-market vibeappeals even to nonshoppers.(Wondering about the name? Back in the 1920s the area was known for markets that sold secondhand and sometimes stolen goods; the people who bought the hot property were called cats, and so a nickname was born.)"

24 Best Things to Do in Hong Kong

"Located on a pedestrian street just below Hollywood Road, the century-old Cat Street market is a dream come true for vintage treasure hunters. You’ll find a few bona fide jade stores alongside makeshift street stalls; the latter brim with everything from throwaway souvenirs to quirky memorabilia, vintage photography prints, and genuinely beautiful retro vases. A few contemporary restaurants, such as Bibo (French cuisine and contemporary art) and Man Mo Cafe (French-ified dim sum) provide worthy resting spots should you need to refuel." - Kate Springer

A very surreal street market with lots of Cold War and Cantonese film memorabilia. There’s a wide variety of things to look at, some of the shops are hidden away but boast a large stock whilst some of the street stalls are a bit repetitive. Come around midday for the best experience. Make sure to haggle for the best prices. Most places will obviously only take cash so be prepared. We had a fun time here overall!

Cat street is one of the historic local markets of Hong Kong whose importance has been recognised and protected today. Its core are the stalls that sell Hong Kong historically themed trinkets mostly like jade pendants, foo dogs and so on. However many of the stools have second hand objects for sale that are a fascinating glimpse in Hong Kong past. Past the market stalls are shops that sell much higher quality historical goods that come from all over issue that come at a much higher cost than objects on the stalls. Be aware this market is open so be prepared for the sun, heat and rain when you go.

There aren't many shops or stalls. Very small. Some places had some lovely pieces of art and nice jewellery. Wasn't cheap and you can't bargain. Other shops catered more for the Chinese. Vendors left you to browse in peace. Opposite Man Mo Temple located in Central, so worth a stop if you go there. I wouldn't make a special trip unless you specifically want something.

Still one of the most interesting corners of HongKong..... Quite a few bargains and antiques still to be found here... Although you have to dig deep to find them... (lots of cheap trashy reproductions too....) Bars and coffee shops now appearing where good antique shops used to be..... Somewhat diminishing the character and atmosphere it used to have

Not many stalls opened on the weekdays - items were mostly repeated at every stall. Quite a good variety of items. Pricing varies across different stalls for the same item - $15-$30.

Many junk and antique stores to catch your interest when browsing this street. You will never know if you bought an antique is genuine or at a fair price. As long you you like it and the price is acceptable, that's the best of the situation. Pretty interesting street to browse around.

This place has a ton of antique shops. It would take forever to visit them all. The number of actual stalls on the street selling antiques is rather small though, perhaps 15 maximum. I went there twice and bought two different "antique" items. This is definitely the best place I've seen in Hong Kong if you're looking for antiques or something unique to display in your house or office.
