Shops in Hong Kong keep long hours, many until 21:00 or 22:00, and mall shops usually open around 10:00. Keep your receipt: returns and exchanges are generally at the shop's own discretion, so ask before you buy, and for electronics check whether the item is a local-warranty model. If a dispute arises, the Consumer Council can advise or take a complaint.
Opening hours: daily, 12:00–19:30. It is open seven days a week. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. Phone: 9278 5664. Hong Kong numbers have eight digits; from abroad, dial +852 first. As this is a mobile number, a WhatsApp message may also work.
At 4.0 out of 5 on Google (74 reviews), it sits mid-table; the written reviews say more about service, prices and waiting times than the number does.
Sheung Wan is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving. Sheung Wan's Des Voeux Road West and Bonham Strand West are known for dried seafood, ginseng and herbal shops, which are busiest before Lunar New Year.

Nice place to buy books as they have a wide range with most of them being in English. The service was friendly too. It might seem disorganized but it's in alphabetical order and you need patience to sift thru the books.

Closed up shop. Looks abandoned. Notices to evacuate the premises.

A super cute bookshop with piles and piles of book. It definitely had a very rustic industrial look but the owner was super friendly and he’s such a gem for sharing us the space for a society to hold a Palestinian movie screening: 5 broken cameras in which we all watched it through a projector and then had a group discussion afterwards. The place itself is pretty near the mtr but it looks sketchy getting here but it’s all good !

loved the owner Surdham's philosophy to this book store, it is full of interesting titles stacked literally from the floor to ceiling. He believes the books will find the rightful reader when they enter the space and i loved the atmosphere of the store, it is a true gem in HK for any book lovers passing through the Central area, I highly recommend a visit, well worth digging through for something unexpected if you have some time to spare.
