subject: A Ladies Market For Everyone [print this page] Despite its small size, Hong Kong is a bustling and busy island. It offers its visitors virtually everything, especially in terms of shopping. One can not only find high end boutique stores with designer wear, but also bargain priced goods which are of a considerably good standard.
Perhaps one of the most fascinating as well as exciting places where bargain priced goods can be bought is at what is known as Ladies Market, or Women Street. This market is situated on the Tung Choi Street in Mongkok.Hong Kongs most inhabited area, Mongkok, is also one of the worlds most densely populated areas. Needless to say markets found here are thus, constantly bustling with activity.
Open from twelve noon till around 11.30 at night, this market, despite its name does have items on sale for ladies and gentlemen. Predominantly made up of clothing shops, the market also has household goods, watches and other accessories etc on sale. Bargaining is needed and expected here, as the quoted prices are ones which have been marked up. Visitors shouldnt be afraid to slash the prices and begin the bargaining as this is what is expected.
The selection is vast and the shops and stalls are crammed into each other. However the experience is a delight, as you search for what you need. After a hard day at bargaining and purchasing well earned goods, a little refreshment is most welcome. For this purpose little food stalls by the street otherwise known as Dai Pai Dongs offer a varied selection of tasty food. Juice stalls are also available where you can choose the fruit of your choice which will be juiced then and there for you.
Visitors looking to choose a hotel in Hong Kong, may prefer a charming rest such as Hotel Jen with its convenient central location and peaceful atmosphere. The serene nature of this Hong Kong China hotel affords a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle at the markets.
