A few dollars to rent a comic book was a common memory among young people in the 80s and 90s. With the progress of the times, the bookstores offering comic rentals have become scarce. There are now only two left in Hung Hom, and one of them is “Hop Sing Bookstore.”
Established in 1956, Hop Sing Bookstore has been in business for over 60 years, and the current owner, Mr. Chung, is the third-generation. The store has a wide variety of comics. It caters to both local and visitors from other areas, drawing them from far a way due to its extensive comic selection. Originally located at 27 Whampoa Street in Hung Hom, due to redevelopment, on January 29, 2019, Hop Sing Bookstore relocated to Wuhu Street. If you want to experience the joy of renting books from 30 years ago, here’s your chance!
