One of the most popular street markets in Hong Kong is Temple Street. The street gets packed with both locals and foreigners bargaining for a good deal, trying out the food from street food stalls, and making new friends. Here are the most important things you need to know about Temple Steet Night Market.
How to Get to Temple Street
Located very close to Dorsett Mongkok Hong Kong, a comfortable and popular budget hotel in Hong Kong, Temple Street is in the Jordan and Yau Ma Tei areas in Kowloon town. The street goes up to one kilometre, but it is easy to access and navigate on your own. All stalls are straight beside the street, and you can walk around and explore.
What to Explore
The cosy shopping street is packed with many restaurants, food joints and stalls where you can enjoy some scrumptious Chinese snacks. You can find local goods, electronics, souvenirs, accessories, and fresh produce in the market, however, do not expect to do any serious shopping as it’s more of a fun experience than a shopaholic’s dream.
How to Find Good Bargains
For the best deals, you need to avoid the stalls and shops in the front and browse through the shops behind. You will need to bargain the prices down and check other stalls for price differences for the same goods. You will find cute tourist T-shirts, bracelets, and souvenirs in these stalls, but make sure to check them for defects and quality before buying.
