Fortune teller's booth, Possession Point, Sheung Wan

Possession Point was originally named Tai Hang Hau (Big Puddle). Before Hong Kong was developed into a city, Hang Hau was located at today's Main Road and its water flowed into Victoria Harbour. In 1841 the British soldiers landed there and named it the Possession Point. The continual development of the place had led to the blockage of the big puddle, and a road called Possession Street was built there. The street is called " Shui Hang Hau Street" in Chinese signifying the big puddle which was once there. Its English name, Possession Street, remains unchanged.
