Let's Go Shopping

Diversity of roadside shops not only pleased the tourists, but also a fond part of our memory. However, with the soaring rental, only big brand chain stores can be found in the main street. The old and character shops are surviving persistently at the edge of the city. These old mom-and-pop stores and character shops, or small shops, are mostly founded with cultural heritage, tradition, passion and dreams.
