Hello everyone! I am little box, the docent of your journey to the world of boxes like street stalls. Actually my full name in Cantonese is hap chai dong, meaning a store in a box. But I prefer you guys to call me my favourite nickname “Hong Kong Street Transformer”. My nickname is made by Kit Lau, a Hong Kong talented artist in creating pop-up books. He also publishes my biography Boxes like street stalls in Hong Kong (盒仔檔).
    You may wonder why I have such a fantastic nickname. It is because I have super power to transform myself from an iron box to a store! Usually one hap chai dong sells only one type of commodities. Those selling similar types will assemble in the same street and form a thematic street. I want to highlight that you guys can only see us hap chai dong in Hong Kong. 
    This digital gallery covers five thematic streets: Antique Market (Upper Lascar Row) in Sheung Wan, Toy Street (Tai Yuen Street) in Wan Chai, Ladies’ Market (Tung Choi Street) in Mong Kok, Men’s Market (Temple Street) in Yau Ma Tei, Electronic Market (Apliu Street) in Shum Shui Po. 
    There is also a featured collection of a variety of hap chai dong in terms of colors and designs. And don't forget that we have three interesting exhibitions--Hong Kong souvenirs, special offers in hap chai dong and collections of hap chai dong.
    Enjoy your browsing from now on!
