10 Best Markets in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s Best Markets
Markets in Hong Kong are among the best places to pick up fashionable yet cheap clothing, accessories, jewellery, electronics, souvenirs, and toys. Fake goods are common in most markets, but you can also find local designers who are just making their way through the fashion world. In Hong Kong, there’s a market for every style and taste.
These traditional marketplaces are often very crowded, so be prepared for a bit of jostling to find what you’re looking for. Kowloon, with more space and cheaper rents than Hong Kong Island, is home to many of Hong Kong’s finest markets. You can find markets all over Hong Kong, all of which make a good alternative to swanky malls and department stores.
1. Ladies Market
Kowloon
Kategoriat: Shoppailu, Ruoka, Halpa
Ladies Market is a popular place to shop for affordable fashion goods and accessories in Hong Kong. This long, narrow market runs the length of Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok. At its southern end, closest to Mongkok MTR Station, you’ll find fashion stalls selling fake designer goods, while further north there are many traders selling plants, animals (it’s nicknamed Goldfish Street by the locals), and homeware.
Despite the name, Ladies Market has plenty of options for guys, along with kids clothing, fashion jewellery, shoes, bags, and typical Chinese souvenirs such as tea and snacks. Don’t forget to browse the permanent stores behind the market stalls on both sides. Lue lisää

4. Jade Market
Kowloon
Kategoriat: Shoppailu, Historia
Jade Market hosts hundreds of jewellers selling precious stones, pearls, and jade of all shapes and sizes. While the stalls carry many of the same goods, prices vary radically depending on the quality of the item. Jade is believed to bring good luck to its owner, so you’ll often see locals (especially the elderly) wearing pendants, bangles, rings, and earrings made with this stone.
The traders at Jade Market drive a hard bargain, but can generally be trusted that their items are as they claim. The market stocks mostly mid-range jewellery and semi-precious stones, so if you’re looking for more high-end jade items, there’s an entire street of permanent shops right next door. Lue lisää
