Hong Kong Street Market
Hong Kong is approximately 1100 square kilometers and has a population of over 7 million people. As you can guess, it’s a little crowded. A majority of the residents live in tall apartment buildings/condos to accommodate the high density. If you think Toronto’s Yonge &Dundas, Richmond & Adelaide or the 401&404 junction is busy, you haven’t seen anything.
The two photo’s below are from a street market not too far from the hotel I’m in. Two nights ago I walked up to the “Mong Kok” subway station and into another street market that was probably 3 times the size of this one. The market from the images below mainly sold knock-off clothing and trinkets, hence the name Jade Market. The larger market, had a lot of electronics and a section that sold knock-off high-end clothing like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucc, Diesel etc. It’s better known as Ladies Market for that particular reason.
