Temple Street Night Market
celebrating local culture
Named after the Tin Hau temple in Hong Kong, the Temple Street Night Market is the place to be heading over to if one wants to purchase some of the local produce or simply sample the tasty Chinese food available. A Wan Chai hotel Hong Kong would be a good place to reside at and the Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong should always be thought of. Such a Hong Kong hotel will offer easy access to the market.
The market offers a range of best buy products and one possessing the art of bargaining can spend hours on end here moving past each stall keeping a close eye out for knick knacks that you would not find at your local department store. Also referred to as the ‘Night Club of the People,’ the area is ideal if you’re into electronics and other gadgets. Clothes can be found at most stalls at the market while jade objects and rare coins will be good souvenirs to take back home. Give your taste buds a real treat by trying out some of the Chinese delicacies. Beef balls, wonton noodles and the local favourite – clay pot rice can be had for a very affordable price. If you’re not in a rush, linger on to catch some of the Cantonese opera singers perform or have your palm read by a local fortune teller. All in all the journey is truly worth it.
