You are now walking along Hollywood Road, the famous Hong Kong street. Strolling along Hollywood Road and its surroundings could be a tour by itself. However, we are not going to do that, for you have already seen so much and walked quite a long way. So, Hollywood Road is one of the oldest streets in Hong Kong. It was not named after the American film production centre, as anyone could have guessed, but together with it. It has always been an extremely busy commercial centre since, earlier, the street was located very close to the coast, so sailors and traders would come here to shop. This has not changed much - Hollywood Road is still known for its outstanding shopping tradition. This is also a famous place in which to buy antiques and artwork. You can find some old furniture, ceramics, objets d’art, old photos and so on. Also, there are lots of nice little restaurants and cafes. However, because Hollywood Road is located in the centre, the prices are rather high.
