Lee Tung Avenue, also known as Wedding Card Street, is the site of four residential buildings and a three-story shopping mall comprising the basement, the first floor and approximately 40 stalls. Most printing stores on Wedding Card Street could print miscellaneous wedding cards, red packets, and fai chun (a traditional decoration used during the Spring Festival to create a jubilant festive atmosphere). Almost every couple that is going to get married will come to Wedding Card Street to buy the wedding cards. The government proposed to redevelop Wedding Card Street in 2004. Despite the objections of citizens, the street was rehabilitated, which, as a hub of wedding supplies, has drawn a variety of shops.

Along the rehabilitated Lee Tung Avenue with a total length of approximately 200 metres, there is a European-style pedestrian shopping street, sidewalk cafes, featured foreign restaurants, such as the Japanese dessert restaurant, time-honoured Hong Kong-style noodle restaurant, and the Vietnamese restaurant with Western characteristics, a European-style arch bridge, and a shopping mall named after Lee Tung Avenue, which gathered featured streetwear brands from all over the world.

Short comments:

There is a variety of stores on Lee Tung Avenue, and outside some of them, ramps are built. Besides, many photographing areas are set along the pedestrian street, for which many visitors will come, especially during major festivals, such as Christmas and the lunar Chinese New Year. On such occasions, the shopping malls will be particularly decorated to attract visitors, which is very exciting.

Hint:
Wheelchair users may reach Lee Tung Avenue via the stairlift set at Exit D of Wan Chai Station. Additionally, there is a parking space designated for the disabled on the parking lot on Floor B3 underground. It is noteworthy that the stairlift has design defects. Specifically, the stairlift cannot be activated until the glass door is fully closed. Additionally, as there is no door handle on the inside of the door, fellow travellers or staff members must help close the glass door from the outside.

After leaving Lee Tung Avenue, walk along Johnston Road west for approximately 100 metres, and you will reach the Woo Cheong Pawn Shop. Woo Cheong Pawn Shop is one of the few tong laus (a type of Chinese-style tenement building) with a history of more than 100 years in Hong Kong, as well as one of the few surviving buildings comprising four buildings whose balconies and corridors are connected. After the rehabilitation by the government, the four-building tong lau turned into a tasteful and featured restaurant, witnessing Wan Chai's changes throughout history in a new form. After the rehabilitation of the Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, the buildings and decorations of the former pawn shops were preserved, and the dessert cafe featuring Italian Napoletana cuisine and the exquisite Cantonese restaurant moved in. Additionally, historical sites in the downtown have attracted numerous visitors, who have gone there to take pictures.

The stairs make the downstairs restaurant inaccessible to wheelchair users. The upstairs Cantonese restaurant and the roof are connected by the lift. Besides, the internal passageway makes it possible for wheelchair users to dine at the restaurant.

Hint:
The Woo Cheong Pawn Shop's rooftop is open to the public for visits and stays between 11:00 and 23:00 every day, except when it is used for private banquets or is subject to maintenance, or when the weather conditions are terrible.

Blue House was the original site of the hospital. It is named after the blue colour painted on its exterior walls. After the revitalization by the government in 2006, the residential function of the Blue House was retained. The stall, formerly known as the Wanchai Livelihood Place, has been converted into the Hong Kong House of Stories, where exhibitions and workshops are held to introduce the local culture and display the home decorations and daily supplies of citizens in Hong Kong in the past.

The three adjacent tong laus are named The Blue House Cluster for their historical values and exterior colours. Specifically, the Blue House and Yellow House are rated as Grade I and Grade III historic buildings, respectively.

The Yellow House located on Hing Wan Street was built in 1928. It is characterized by its European-style appearance and yellow exterior walls. The Orange House located at 8 King Sing Street was built in 1958. Compared with the Blue House and Yellow House, the Orange House has a shorter history, so it has not been rated as a historic building. It is named after its orange exterior walls.

Short comments:

Only a few dropped kerbs are built outside the Blue House, so visitors must look for them around the building. Moreover, among the dropped kerbs, some are not even usable. Specifically, one dropped kerb is next to the parking metre, and it is mainly blocked by the vehicles parked. Another one has long been blocked by debris, so wheelchair users can only manoeuvre on the road.

The sidewalk around the Blue House is overly narrow because iron poles, such as road signs, occupy more space, leaving wheelchairs barely passing through.

Stairs are built to the main entrance to the Hong Kong House of Stories, so wheelchair users must enter through the back door, for which they must apply in advance.

There are many garages along Hing Wan Street, so visitors must be careful of vehicles when crossing the street.

Hint:
The Blue House has public toilets but no barrier-free facilities, so wheelchair users may go to the Wanchai Market for accessible toilets

The Old Wan Chai Market Building is a classical pre-wartime German Bauhaus-style building and has been rated as a Grade III historic building. It opened between 1937 and 2008 and was partially demolished after being purchased by a private property developer in 2009. After the demolition, only the front envelope, exterior walls, grey columns, and stairs were retained. The building has now been converted into a boutique shopping mall and private residences.

Built in the early 20th century, the Green House got its name after its green exterior walls. It has been rated as a Grade II historic building. After the revitalization, the Green House was converted into the Comix Home Base in July 2013 to introduce local anime art. However, due to problems with operation, it was closed in 2018 and renamed 7 Mallory Street. It was renamed M7 after its English name in January 2022. M7 currently offers community facilities, including retail outlets and food and beverages services. It also has space available for lease for holding exhibitions, workshops, and lectures.

Short comments:

7 Mallory Street is a four-story building with lifts. There are accessible toilets underground and on the first, second and third floors. Visitors may go to the opposite building through the skywalk on the third floor. Then they may enter the terrace through the century-old wooden door, where they can enjoy the view of Wan Chai facing Burrows Street.

The two buildings are connected by the skywalks on the southern and northern sides of the third floor. However, one skywalk has stairs. Therefore, wheelchair users can return to the inside of the building only through the other skywalk without stairs, which means they cannot tour the complete spot.

Address: 7 Mallory Street, Wan Chai

Wan Chai Station is equipped with an accessible toilet, which is usually locked. So please ask the staff member to unlock it when you need to use it.

If you head to the Woo Cheong Pawn Shop via Queen's Road East from Lee Tung Avenue, you must be careful with the sidewalks on both sides when going by way of Tai Wong Street East. Specifically, one sidewalk has stairs, and the other one has no stairs but is narrow. So please be more careful to avoid falling off the sidewalk.
