Fa Yuen Street Market — Attraction in Hong Kong

Forget ladies market where it's touristy and full of unfriendly stall owners. Fa yuen street market is the real deal, cater for local people. With that in mind, you know you're just walking into possibly one of the best places for bargain shopping in Hong Kong. Lots of clothes from factory outlets at great prices, household items, anything really. Get there and be surprised! Bring loads of cash, no stores will take plastic. There are lots of great local eateries nearby. One can really make a full day out if it. I normally bring my overseas friends here, they can shop till they drop, and try our local food at the same time. Over the years, they have always requested to bring them back there again and again. Shopping hours around 9am to about 8pm, they do close rather early. My suggestion is to come here around 3 or 4pm, shop for an hour or two, take your dinner in one of the many local eateries say around 6pm. A bit harder if you come here during our hotter summer months, winter time is best if humid heat bothers you. Have fun and impress your family and friends back home with your...

A lot of stuff available as the name suggests for ladies. Well from clothes to handbags to wallets ear rings bracelets of known brands knock offs and shoes slippers in abundance. Some shops also keep garments for toddlers. Money banks and bobbleheads too. You need to use your bargaining skills as you have to bargain a lot and when I mean a lot.....means a lot...they might ask for 240hk$ for a bag but you can lower them to hk$80...now that's what i call a good bargain. .......if they get stuck on a price...just start to leave only to be called back to buy at your price that you bargained for....sone ladies in the shops might get to possessive of you being their valued customer...that they might hold yoir hand till you buy...say i will look around and come back means...you won't come back...that's very well understood by them..so they will try their best to sell at your price ofcourse... Found some very cute bags for little girls and teenagers too. Toys in some shops reasonably priced...get a mini drone for hk$ 150 to hk$200 only..without camera....Having said so...it's worth the experience...

Part of the famous street market scene in Mongkok, Fa Yeun Street is lined with small retail shops and hawkers dealing in mostly low-priced clothes, shoes, consumables, accessories, fruit and other random items. One stretch of the Fa Yuen Street is referred to as Sneaker Street market, which is lined with over 50 retail shops mostly athletic footwear. Stalls and shops tend to open up in the late morning and the market heats up after lunch and remains open until late.

Visiting the Fa Yuen (Sneaker Street) Market is best done as combined visit along with seeing other area street markets including the Flower Street Market, Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, Goldfish street market and the famous Ladies (night) market. Visitors sometimes enjoy buying shoes here but this is much more of a shopping location for local residents and a sightseeing spot for visitors to the city.

Hint: Fa Yuen Street is a good spot to find Chinese New Year decorations, red-packets and other items. There are stalls and several shops selling these items during on Fa Yuen Street, especially on the corner of...
