| Abstract | Pawnbroking was among the earliest businesses in Hong Kong. It emerged when the Territory was still ruled by China. The pawn shops give customers money in return for their own belongings. However, the customers can redeem their goods within a certain period of time - at a slightly higher price. This article introduces this traditional business in Hong Kong. |
