Temple Street
 

Is the famous nighttime open-air bazaar dedicated mainly to items for the man in its many small stalls. Temple Street is also known as Man Street and is located between Yau Ma Tei and Jordan Road.

This beautiful and fun open-air bazaar livens up around 8 p.m. in a frenzy of light, color, and the happy, shopping crowds visiting and shopping in the hundreds of small stalls closely lining the street. These stalls have various goods for sale including causal clothing, jeans, neckties, mobile phones, clocks, watches, and many other items. This activity makes Temple Street a livelier and busier bazaar than other open markets in Hong Kong. This shopping activity continues until approximately 11 p.m.

Fortune-tellers and soothsayers, who are ready to tell you your fortune and predict the future for a price, also favor the street.

If you are interested in traditional Chinese opera, go to the end of the banyan trees in Temple Street where you can enjoy it, where the crowds are usually bustling and happy like a popular nightclub.

The Jade market, located nearby, offers you a place to acquire jade stones at bargain prices, maybe a gift for that special person or as a keepsake for yourself.

In past years, locals favored Temple Street, with its various bargains. While in recent years, the market's popularity with visitors has driven prices up, so the bargains are not what they were. If you want to buy mainly clothes, shoes, leather, watches and everyday items, you'd better go to the shops hidden in the streets behind the stalls, unless you are very adept at evaluating and bargaining.
