Dried Seafood and Tonic Food Streets

Introduction

Dried Seafood Street is a characteristic shopping district in Hong Kong. It is located in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island. It mainly includes a section of Des Voeux Road West between Queen Street and Main Street and the entire Wing Lok Street. It is a concentrated area of Hong Kong seafood and other related industries. Shortly after Hong Kong opened as a port in the 19th century, Sheung Wan developed into an important Chinese business district. In the area of the current seafood street, many seafood shops have been opened one after another, selling seafood such as abalone, ginseng, fin belly, etc., many of which have been in operation until now. On the other hand, there are also many similar or related industries, such as processing plants for salted fish, shark fin, hemp bags and reed poles.
