The most famous open-air market in Hong Kong - Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.
Yau Ma Tei is divided into two sections, north and south. Because there is a temple in the middle section, it is named Temple Street. Temple Street is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed in Hong Kong. It is also the place where Hong Kong’s early fireworks took place.

On both sides of the 600-meter-long road between Nanjing Street and Wenmingli are small open-air shops. It was very crowded with local shoppers and tourists.

There are jeans, T-shirts, ties, underwear, etc. From Nanjing Street to Tin Hau Temple, everyone sells suits, sunglasses, belts, leather shoes, and lighters, which are very cheap. But now "Men's Street" is no longer worthy of its name. It has changed the business direction of "Men's Street", which was mainly male customers in the past.
