    Bustling Temple Street
    Market
    by Russ60
    A visit to one of Hong Kongs markets should be included during your stay in Hong Kong, we went to the famous Temple Street Market in Kowloon. It is noisy and full of people looking for bargains. On our shopping trip we managed to find watches for less than 1.50GBP (they are still working) and also for the ladies we found a stall selling Chinese dresses and tops which were good quality and also fairly priced.

    Fairly similar to the Ladies Market, the Temple Street Night Market is the more famous and larger of the two. The market is located in Temple St which is just to the west of Jordan MTR station in Kowloon. The market is sometimes known as Men's Street as it is very popular for men's fashion. The market starts at 2pm in the afternoon, but is lively at dusk daily. Traffic is closed on the street at that time, and visitors swarm into the street. There are more than hundred stalls with colourful lights in the market. There are carts bulging with goods from clothing to mobile phones and watches. Stalls have items mainly for men, jeans, t-shirts, pants, lighters, shoes and men's accessories. Cheap merchandise is common in the night market. Cheap second hand goods such as cassettes, video tapes, old newspapers, antiques are also sold there. The night market is famous for its snacks and roadside dining, which serves local street cuisine. It sells a wide range of delicious local delicacies.

    Located in the heart of Mongkok District, Sai Yeung Street, Sai Yee Street and Fa Yuen Street Choi Street, are the essential street to visit and where you will find nothing but electronics, mostly camera equipment and sound and vision stores. The range of each of the stores is much the same however, I found Hong Kong to be very expensive for electronics!

    Anne and I took photos on our mobile phones of the items, model numbers and prices that we were looking for. Everything from I pods to Canon digital cameras were very expensive compared to Australia.

    Located in Mong Kok, the Goldfish Market features a number of stores selling aquariums, corals, and exotic fish of all varieties. Most of the stores, which are open daily from 10:30 am to 10:00 pm, are on Tung Choi Street (two blocks east of Nathan Road) between Prince Edward Road West and Mong Kok Road.

    One block over from the Temple Street Night Market on Shanghai Street is a seafood, meat, and produce market that is frequented almost exclusively by locals. It’s a bit disturbing to see some of the things for sale, but of all the markets, this is perhaps the most interesting because it provides the greatest insight into local life and culture.

    The night markets caters mainly for tourists, but are fun nonetheless ... if haggling over the price of a fake Rolex is your thing. The most beautiful market is the bird market. Hong Kong Chinese cherish birds, and there you will find them in all shapes and sizes. Also recommended: The fish market and the flower market.

    They don't call it Flower Market Road for nothing. This street is lined with nothing but flower shops, and the flowers literally overflow from the small shops out onto the sidewalk. Definitely a very pleasant place for a daytime stroll. At the end of the street you will find the Bird Garden.

    Fruit market: mangos for
    a few cents
    by claudia1975
    All the market streets in northern Kwoloon are great. Note that most markets open only in the late afternoon and evening and streets might appear deserted during the morning hours. I liked especially the fruit and vegetable market as well as the gold fish market.

    The clothes market I found to be very touristy and mostly selling fake products like T-shirts, ties, belts and sneakers. They might look good but not last very long.

    Deal heavily with the prices and try to reach on tenth of the price they start dealing with.

    Wanchai Market is a large daytime market covering several streets in the Wanchai district. Most unique are the meat markets with the animal carcasses hanging outdoors for people and flies to inspect as closely as they like... I enjoyed the fruit markets, as I found dragonfruit for about US$3 here -- this pink & green-skinned fruit with the white inside is my favorite tropical fruit!

    Wanchai market also has clothes, shoes, purses, and a few restaurants.

    You may notice a nice and old building from the late 1800's. Well, get in and you will have a small market with some shops and restaurants.
