Cat Street, officially called Upper Lascar Row, is a 200-meter-long pedestrian street in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong with over 180 years of history as an antiques and collectibles destination. The street is lined with stalls and shops, mostly independent family-run businesses, selling Chinese ceramics, jade, Cultural Revolution memorabilia, vintage Hong Kong collectibles, handcrafted replicas, and many more. The range covers different budgets and levels of collecting, from casual souvenirs to more serious antique finds.
It opens daily and is easy to reach by MTR from Central. The street sits within a broader antiques district that includes Hollywood Road nearby, so there’s plenty to browse in the surrounding area as well. Cat Street is well known among both locals and visiting collectors looking for Chinese and Hong Kong antiques in a street market setting.
