Does anybody know where I can find shops that sell traditional paper lanterns and the paper offerings that people put at the gravesides or alters. For example I saw on the Discovery Chanel that you could even buy paper rolls royces for your dearly departed. I thought this would be a great shop to take my visitors to Hong Kong.
Thanks in advance

Thanks saikugna. You don't happen to know the street in Sheung WAn do you. I have a suspicion it is Queens Road but I could be wrong. Also to get there would I get off at Sheung WAn station?

Yes, it's Queen's Road West. It's a bit of a walk from Sheung Wan MTR though, about 15 mins. Or 4 stops on the tram heading west.

There are also a couple of shops at the west end of Hollywood road. Next door to a place selling wooden coffins.

There is also a store on elgin street in soho, at the end away from the escalators. I think it is near the candle shop. There are loads in TST and jordan/. For lanterns try the electrical store on lyndhurst tce, near cafe siam.

Here is the web site of one of those on Queen's Road West. There are a couple of other shops just next door.

Nearest MTR exit at Sheung Wan is probably B.
Many buses stop right outside the shops.
Look for numbers 10, 10, 37A, 3A, 4, 5, 7, 71, 90B, 91, 94, M47 and M49.
