The Cartful 車仔檔 , is a type of mobile stall in Hong Kong.
History[edit]
Types of the cartful[edit]
Owners and selling places[edit]
Relationship with Hong Kong[edit]
The cartful fully reveal Hong Kong spirits [1] : diligent and fast. With little capital and time, owners can earn a huge profit from the whole day sales by moving their cart around without paying high rent.
This traditional hawking style is dying out because of the government policy and modernization. As the law [2] prohibits unlicensed hawking, many mobile stalls have demolished. Yet, the government sets up markets in different districts like Tin Sau Hui (天秀墟) and Wan Chai Tai Yuen Street (太原街)in order to gather the mobile stalls back.
Some of the citizens support the government plan since they think it is cleaner and quieter without the mobile stalls on street; others object to the inhumane government policy due to the reminiscence of the cartful.[3][4][5]
