Sino Centre

Sino Centre

Sino Centre (zh-c|c=信和中心) is a shopping centre at Nathan Road in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. The shops in the centre mainly sell comics, Japanese magazines, records, sports equipment, watches, and other goods favoured by youth.

In the early 1990s, the centre was full of shops selling photographs of pop stars. The number of photographs of each pop star sold was an indicator of their popularity. Fact|date=February 2007

In the late 1990s, the shops that sold pirated and pornographic CDs and VCDs prospered wildly.

Despite heavy police crackdowns on piracy since 2004, it has resurfaced recently, with stores selling pirated Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TV dramas and anime DVDs. These temporary stores open at random times and close down without warning. Many consumers have trouble getting a refund or exchange for these often defective DVDs.
