Hong Kong - markets

All over Hong Kong, markets abound. The Temple Street Night market is full of old Chinese artefacts, gems and jade - as well as electronics, mass produced cheap items, socks, toys and just about anything a person could want. Haggling for a good price is expected. Every neighbourhood has its own market, where goods are bought and sold - in Mong Kok, there are streets selling ladies garments and fruits of all kinds; in Causeway Bay, you can find a wet market with fish still flapping their tails; in Tai Po the markets have been moved indoors, but still provide the experience of selecting from huge and diverse displays of goods of all kinds.
