At 136–150 Queen's Rd West, there are shops selling incense and paper offerings for the dead. The latter are burned to propitiate departed souls and the choice of combustibles is mind-blowing – dim sum, iPads, Rolexes, Viagra tablets and even solar-powered water heaters. You may buy them as souvenirs, but keeping rather than burning them is supposed to bring bad luck.
