Temple Street Night Market

In preparation for a long evening, the Temple Street Night Market vendors start setting up as night falls over Hong Kong. This quiet street is suddenly transformed into a packed market of three-sided tents and fold-up tables covered in everything from purses, dresses, and trinkets to electronics and household items.

The Temple Street Night Market is the place to go and by far the most well-liked market to visit while you are in Hong Kong if you only have time to visit one. Crowds begin to arrive shortly after the market opens at around 6 o'clock in the evening. You can also find wonderful cuisine at the intersections along Temple Street and at the shops hidden behind the stalls along the street. Some of the eateries in this area are worth a return trip, even though the dining experience may be limited to plastic tables and chairs. Kowloon is where Temple Street Night Market is located. If you want to take a long stroll and are staying in the TST or Mong Kok districts, you may either walk to Temple Street or take the MTR to Jordan Station and exit A. Simply follow the well-marked street signs from here.
