Temple street market is a very busy, chaotic area of Hong Kong but also the perfect place to pick up some good bargains. When researching and reading i have often noticed how people just love the shopping in Hong Kong.
- The market starts at 2 p.m. 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 a hundred stalls with colourful lights in the market.
- Temple Street is awash with rows of brightly lit stalls hawking an astonishing variety of clothing, pens, watches, CDs, cassettes, electronic gadgets, hardware and luggage.
- The busy food stalls offer a range of delicacies including fresh seafood and hotpot dishes to tempt your appetite.
- Fortune-tellers cluster at the Yau Ma Tei end of the street, and so do Chinese opera enthusiasts seeking kindred spirits for impromptu performances.
- Like many other street markets prices can always be negotiated by bargaining and haggling with the stall owner.
- When buying merchandise in Temple Street, it is recommended to hunt for shops hidden in streets behind the stalls rather than looking in the stall themselves. This is one of the uniqueness of Temple Street Night Market.
