Hollywood Road, Cat Street, Man Mo Temple

Hollywood Road and Upper Lascar Row or "Cat Street", are must-see stops on every visitor's itinerary. Crammed with antique shops and an open-air curio market, these quaint locales are ideal places for picking up eclectic souvenirs and gifts.

Everything from Ming dynasty furniture and lotus lamps to Mao badges and ancient snuff bottles is on sale here. Bargain hunters will also enjoy the stalls on Ladder Street, just a few metres downhill and bargaining over price is all part of the game.
Nearby Man Mo Temple is a picturesque tribute to the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo). The temple is located about halfway along the road and a stop in its quiet, incense-shrouded interior makes a pleasant break.

You can see giant incense coils hanging overhead. At the western end of the road is Hollywood Road Park, where a photo display shows the original old settlement close to this area. How To Get There: Hollywood Road, Cat Street, Man Mo Temple
