Exploring traditional family-run goldsmiths is definitely more fun than visiting one of the chain goldsmiths in Nathan Road. ⁣ ⁣ There used to be so many Goldsmiths in Shanghai Street and Lee Hing 利興珠寶金行 is the few remaining ones now - where my grandma used to get her gold jewelleries and buy presents for her children and grandchildren.⁣ ⁣ You can still find pieces with traditional design which are handmade or even tailor-made by the shop owner. You can still find hand-written price tag hanging on the ring with a red string. If you broke your jade bangle, bring it to them and they might still be able to repair it by inlaying gold.⁣ ⁣ For chinese, buying gold is like putting money in the bank. People used to buy small pieces of gold with loops and chain them around their waistbands. So even if they fell into the sea, they will not lose their fortune. ⁣ ⁣ Gold is also a very precious gift that people offer Dragon and Phoenix Bangles (龍鳳鈪) to newlyweds, gold bangles to babies during their one-month old birthday and gold longevity peach to the elderlies on their Grand birthday celebration. ⁣ ⁣ 📍 利興珠寶金行 Lee Hing Jewellery Goldsmith Co., Shanghai Street, Yau Ma Tei⁣ ⁣ #explorehongkong_locallife⁣ #explorehongkong_YauMaTei⁣ #explorehongkong_culture ⁣ #explorehongkong_oldshop⁣ ⁣ #hk #hongkong #🇭🇰 #香港 #hktravel #hktraveller #hktravelbloggers #hongkongtravel #hktrip #香港旅遊 #香港旅行 #explorehongkong #discoverhongkong #hkstyle #travelgram #香港好去處 #travelasia #goldsmiths #jewellery #馬鞍戒指 #藤鈪 #explorehongkong_利興
