For those who adore jade and for those who are yet to fall in love with this exotic item, the Jade market in Hong Kong offers a thousand and one reasons to purchase a fair number of gorgeous jade items. From shiny pendants to sleek chess boards to household items to expensive jewelry, Jade goes a long way and is also accompanied by other similar products just to add more confusion to the luster and allure of the array of ornaments that are displayed so lavishly.

This famous market is located in Kansu Street and Battery Street and is one of the must-stops during a visit to this region. It is a collection of 400 stalls that attracts both vendors as well as buyers of Jade from all over the city. While Jade is a sign of longevity and good health as believed by the Chinese, most tourists are attracted to the pristine allure of the items that range from a beautiful deep green to brown, yellow and of course white. The most authentic Jade are supposed to be pure green and claimed to be quite costly. It is also said to be semi transparent. The ornaments range from beautiful bangles to intricate rings to pendants and also tiny ornaments that add some elegance to any household. While the market is a paradise for haggling, it is also a good place to get a collection of ornaments and souvenirs to be given as gift items. Some of the less authentic Jade and similar products can be quite nominal in charges and it is advised that one should commence bargaining from a very low price.

If one is not convinced about finding original Jade items, the trip to the market is still worth it as one can still make some excellent bargains for gifts or several household items or better still observe the explanation of different jades that are available. Even the sheer allure of the stalls decked with exquisite articles is a sight worth glancing over as the stalls are generally not overcrowded.
