Man Wan Lane is known as ‘Chop Lane’ because it is lined by market stalls offering hand-made chops, along with namecard printing and other services. Find a chop that catches your eye and you can have it inscribed with your own custom logo. Prices start around HK$80.

Don’t be fooled by the traditional stamp shop façade – Mrs. Pound is actually a trendy bar and restaurant. Nudge the right chop and a secret door opens, inviting you into a nostalgically-decorated world of cocktails and Southeast Asian fusion food.
