"Sheung Wan" Central District Tip by Lemonita

Central District, Hong Kong: 19 reviews and 17 photos

Sheung Wan, near Central is not a very touristy district because it seems there is nothing very exciting about it.
This district is quite old and has a lot of old buildings. So if you walk around, you would get a 'taste' of authenticity.

The picture shows a shop of chinese medecines. There a quite a lot in this district. Sometimes, when it's sunny, people will lay herbs/medicine on the ground so it can be dried. Chinese people strongly believe in its traditionnal medecine. I still remember how it was always interesting to go into those medecin shops for me when I was a child. Indeed, there are big transparent bottles showing all sorts of strange dried herbs or insects.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
