No hawking zone
Castle Peak Bay
An area in Tuen Mun designated as "no hawking." Part of Hong Kong's effort to clean up the area includes licensing hawkers and keeping them in specific areas, such as open air bazaars and shops. This sign is in a new town area and prohibits hawking in this place. There were approximately 36,000 licenses issued in all of Hong Kong in 1982, with at least half that many people selling without permits.
