The second stop was Wing Lee Stationery and Paper Co., Ltd. located on Nan'an Street. It is a well-known time-honored brand in the area, and many boat owners and fishermen are its regular customers. You might think it’s strange to put stationery and paper supplies together, but that’s becoming one of the characteristics of this place. The shop has a history of more than half a century. Originally, the store only focused on selling incense candles and paper-making supplies. However, due to the declining demand for paper-making supplies in recent years, the store began to sell stationery and toys to supplement the business.
If you visit in the morning, you will see groups of students coming here to "shopping". At night, you can see another scenery. After the shop closes, you will see colorful paintings on the iron gate. The painting is none other than the proprietress and the treasure of this place - the cat and panther. In addition to the first time, you can also see many products sold here, such as various types of incense candle offerings and stationery. The most special thing among them is the paper boat on the lower left, which contains a special "pass". With this "pass", fishermen after death can enter the world after death and will not linger in this world. The font on the painting also shows the characteristics of Hong Kong, because the font is exactly the font used in old Hong Kong shops.
