About this audio guide
This guide to Apliu Street Flea Market in Hong Kong traces the strange evolution of one Sham Shui Po street: from a village called Duck Cage, reclaimed from the sea, to the nickname Cat Street of Kowloon and its reputation as a thieves' market where stolen goods changed hands. It follows how Hong Kong's 1960s shift from trading port to manufacturing powerhouse turned this same street into the city's electronics nerve centre. Listen for the layers of that history in the stalls' names and wares as you walk.
