This Newsstand Is Bigger Than You Think
Rent in Hong Kong is famously expensive (or overpriced). Even the rent of a stall on the street may cost a few hundred US dollars a month. Therefore shops always try their best to maximize the profit. Even a 20 square feet (or less) newsstand can sell more stuff than you could imagine, and they have goods for everybody.

What’s there?
Just like many newsstands in other countries, they sell basic stuff like newspapers, magazines, cigarettes, comic books, tissue papers, bottled water. Moreover, if you take a close look, you will see much more:

Chewing gum
Umbrellas
Pens
Avengers toys and toy cars for the boys
Hello Kitty planes and stickers for the girls
Bubble bottles for kids
Various kinds of soft drinks
Different brands and sizes of bottled water
Playing cards etc

(Porn magazines and toys next to each other...)
There is one more thing
Plus, it has this:

See the flowers on top? The owner even tries to decorate such a tiny space!
It is amazing that such a small place can sell so much stuff. They may not have many items for visitors to purchase, but these newsstands are interesting to see as part of local life in Hong Kong!
