One area in Hong Kong, Upper Lascar Row, is an antique collector’s playground. It is a 200-meter street that is lined with antique stores selling coins, jade artifacts, historical toys, and other items. What’s great about shopping on Upper Lascar Row is that antiques come really cheap although there are also a few stores that sell “legit” antiques – those that cost an arm and a leg.
