The streets north off Jordan Road are interesting places to browse amongst some lowkey businesses which serve the locals’ daily needs. Shanghai Street contains an eclectic and attractive mix of shops and stalls selling items as diverse as brightred Chinese wedding gowns, embroidered pillow cases, lacquered shrines, statuettes, chopping blocks, incense and kitchenware. To the west, Reclamation Street sports an intense produce market offering concrete proof that the Cantonese demand absolutely fresh food, with fish, frogs and turtles alive in tanks and buckets for shoppers to inspect.
