Man Wa Lane (文華里), commonly known as Chop Alley (圖章街) by the locals, is a very short street in Sheung Wan (上環), spanning from Connaught Road Central (干諾道中) to Bonham Strand (文咸東街), on Hong Kong Island.
The
whole small street has a length of about 400 metres, there are more
than twenty stalls, specializing in the making and crafting of chop
(including traditional Chinese seal and modern rubber stamps) and
printing of name cards. They are well-known for "same day delivery".
Since Man
Wah Lane is located in Sheung Wan and very close to Central, more
businesses can be generated from the demand in these districts,
particularly in the past. Nowadays, the internet is so popular that Man
Wa Lane is still a street with its character and famous for making
chops.
The section with more stalls is between Des Voeux Central and Wing Lok Street.
Man Wa Lane is only one minute's walk from MTR Sheung Wan Station Exit A1 or A2.
