Hong Kong’s pawnbroking industry exploded after the government legalised it in 1926. Built in that decade, the Nam Cheong Pawn Shop has stood the test of time for almost a century — a reminder of this once-flourishing business that has helped fuel the city’s economy. Having been listed as a Grade III historic building in 2010, this pawn shop still boasts many traditional features such as the saloon doors at its entrance.
