Itinerary:

Hong Kong is packed full of fascinating markets, and you’ll discover the best of them on this unique walking tour. Kick things off on a fragrant note at the Flower Market.

 

This vibrant and colourful street market consists of more than 50 shops and is a jungle of exotic blossoms, luck-bringing houseplants and sweet scents. Next, it’s onto the nearby Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, a charming traditional Chinese-style garden with over 70 songbird stalls, interesting courtyards and several moon gates.

 

Soak up the peaceful surrounds and listen to the sound of thousands of birds - it’s easy to forget about the crazy city streets that lie just outside the gates. Head back into the streets, walking to Goldfish Street, where locals buy goldfish and other exotic fish from around the world. Discover why the goldfish is the preferred pet in Hong Kong and how these small fish are said to bring lucky feng shui.

 

Visit the popular Ladies Market, famed for its bargain-priced clothes, bags and accessories. Perhaps try out your bargaining stills, otherwise, admire the market’s setting deep within Mong Kok. This is the world’s most densely populated neighbourhood with over 130,000 people per square kilometre! Stroll down Nathan Road, passing by the newly built five-star Langham Place hotel and mall, before reaching Shanghai Street.

 

Glimpse what 1950s and 60s Hong Kong was like in this street, which was once famous for selling everything from traditional wedding clothes to ancestral offerings. Head into the Yau Ma Tei fruit market, and call in nextdoor to the Yau Ma Tei Theatre, the oldest existing and once largest theatre in Kowloon. Call by the world-famous Jade Market, which has more than 400 hawkers, and learn about how locals believe jade can ward off health hazards and bad feng shui.

 

The final stop on this walking tour of Hong Kong’s markets is a visit to the Temple Street Night Market. See the city’s working class culture first-hand as you stroll through the city's busiest flea market. End the tour with a visit to a feng shui advisor, fortune teller or trying some of the tasty treats from one of the many roadside dai pai dong restaurants.
