Temple Street/Yau Mei Tei

A very popular Hong Kong activity is to visit the Temple Street night market in the Yau Mei Tei section of Kowloon. Many merchants and hawkers selling their wares from stalls, street corners, and store fronts. Lots of good deals. Bottles of beer and seafood are also served at rock bottom price from sidewalk food vendors.








The prawns are still moving.


Alive...Alive-o




Me with all my Hong Kong mates.


For those with higher brow tastes there is the Kubrick book store.

  2. It is not easy to find the bigger table in Temple Street. We call Temple Street named Tai Tat Die. Vow! Within a short time, you've been visiting many Hong Kong places. In 1960, we could watch the Cantonese Opera on the Temple Street. Watch out your purse!
