Lao Mian Cheng Lantern Shop

Handmade lamps with painted dragons, bold flowers, bamboo and calligraphy, are solid red, and as big as a gym ball or small as a fist. There are also concertinaed paper lanterns, purses and cushion covers. This tumbledown marvel of a shop was opened back in 1915 by the current owner's grandfather. It's sometimes closed on Sunday.
