Market Extravaganza


After the whole housing situation was cleared, i was finally able to begin exploring the city. One of the main things that occupies tourists in HK is, of course, shopping. There is definitely no shortage of shopping opportunities here. However the more "local" shopping locations where you can (and must) bargain for goods are the HK markets. There are so many markets in HK! Bird Market, Flower Market, Goldfish Market, Ladies Market, Night Market, Jade Market, Fruit Market all located in the Kowloon are.. not to mention all the regular "wet" and "dry" markets (more info and pics on those later).

The great thing about HK is that you can walk everywhere or take the very practical and inexpensive MTR (mass transit railway) to get around.

An unbelievable variety of fish, frogs, turtles, crabs, shrimp etc... not to mention goldfish at the goldfish market!

Fruit Markets: By far not one of the biggest mangoes I've seen here

Jade Market: In China, Jade is treasured for its magical powers. Jade Bracelets are worn for protection.
