Here the middle-class residents have attempted to clamp down on a rather insalubrious traditional Chinese custom, that of gathering in small groups to pass the tres. On a Farm Family website I cannot go into detail about the actual use of the tres and the precise manner in which it is passed. I will only say that the white ribbon on the tres illustrated in the sign plays a vital role in the whole disgusting business. Moving down from Mid-Levels we head towards the antique shops of Hollywood Road. It is the fortunate tourist that approaches Hollywood Road in this direction.
Most tourists get there by walking up from Central District.
Hollywood Road is the street of antique shops and the shops found above Hollywood Road give an interesting insight into the nature of the antiques. The workers do not care to be observed too closely, but if you are careful you may be lucky enough to see a genuine antique being made by traditional craftsmen. Inside this busy little workshop the noise is indescribable. From here we travel to Western District, an area of traditional shops and traditional activities, one of which is Kung Fu. Our sign here shows exactly what you can do to your victim's bones if you put in enough practice.
