Morro Street (Antique Street)
When you come to Moro Street, you may see movie posters, old calendars, etc. from the 1970s
Old newspapers and magazines. To introduce Moro Shangjie, a small street selling antique groceries, we can start with the story behind the street name.
"Moro" as Moro takes to the streets is the name given to Indians by Hong Kong people in the past. In the early days of Hong Kong's opening, many Hong Kong police officers were Indians. They set up street stalls on Moro Shang Street near the police station to sell second-hand goods.
So this place is called "Moro Upper Street", and the English street name is Upper
Lascar Road (Lascar means Indian soldier).
When it comes to the English street name of Moro Street, there is actually another one, Cat Street. You may immediately think that this is a street selling cats, but you are wrong.
Actually, the name Cat
Cat Street comes from the mouse. This is because Hong Kong people call stolen goods "rat goods". I heard that there used to be some shops selling "rat goods" here, and the customers who come here to buy things are naturally "cats", so this place is also called Cat
Street (Cat Street).
Now, there are no Indian policemen on the streets in Moro, and the goods sold are not "rat goods".
However, you can still go to the small stalls and shops here and hunt for treasures like a clever cat! Mao Zedong badges, ancient snuff bottles, ethnic style jewelry, etc., should all be one of them. The favorite of all "Fairy Cats".
