Late last month, a group of vendors offering an array of food and drinks gathered in Sham Shui Po and set up a hawker market in Kweilin Street.
One of Hong Kong’s busiest districts went into virtual lockdown about 26 hours after the Lunar New Year began. A night of violence saw police fire two "warning shots" as protesters launched bricks and set fires as a crackdown on illegal street food hawkers escalated into what some witnesses described as a ‘riot’.
