Temple Street Night Market

Hong Kong’s best night market. Extending for three blocks from Man Ming Lane to the north to Nanking St in the south, this night market (6-11pm daily) is the place to go just for the atmosphere, though you can also bargain hard for cheap clothing, fake Rolexes and other items. Fortune tellers tend to congregate in the middle of the market; they can tell you your future by reading your palm or your face, making predictions based on your date of birth, or by getting a trained bird to pick out your fortune card. If you’re lucky, you might see a Cantonese opera singer do a short performance at the market. If you’re hungry, you’re in luck: the dai pai dong (food stalls) serve anything from noodles to curry.
