What to do and see in Kowloon, China: The Best Shopping

May 22, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

Lei Yu Mun Fish Market

Reviewed By sv336 - Detroit, United States

There are quite a few places in HK where one can pick loads of live fish (seafood) from countless aquarium bins and get it prepared and served on the spot. Unlike those popular places on Lantau or in Sai Kung, this is definitely not a tourist trap, so decide for yourself if you want to go to a staged show or work to get some experience for yourself. The easiest path to get there would be taking a Kowloon taxi from your hotel or nearest MTR to the corner of Shung Shun and Lei Yue Mun Path Taxi stand (don't expect them to know where that is - other than the Airport, HK taxi drivers always look at you like if they hear of the place you need to go to for 1st time in their life). Surprisingly, the place is very close to the HK center, more so than Sai Kung, with Lantau being a day trip away. Check out the google street view, and see how you navigate from the taxi stand into the paths along the water (and back). You'll walk pass countless fish stores where people wave you in - check them all out and decide what you like, keep in mind, there are lots of those till you reach the end of the walkway. The idea is you buy live seafood and they take it to one of the restaurants where the stuff will be cooked for you, and there you can order things like wine and/or whisky. So, you basically have to check out the restaurants and the seafood stands separately and pick the combination you like. People speak reasonable English and generally are pretty friendly - there are no loads of tourists out there like in the popular places.This makes the experience more real. Be sure to negotiate a deal on the seafood you buy - there is no fixed Walmart price out there, although, generally, locals do not negotiate much. What you negotiate is an assurance you're not being taken for a fool too far

I adore flowers especially orchids so this market was the icing on the cake. Hundred and hundred of bouquets, orchids, bonsai. Everything you can imagine from roses chrysanthemums(another of my favourites) lilies.sunflowers to the rare and unusual. The smells are out of this world. My daughter and I visited on the first day of the Chinese New Year exhibition. it was jammed packed with people and plants A beautiful day of aaaah’s and oooooh’s

Reviewed By eteo232 - Sydney, Australia

Gosh, this is one MegaMall that you can shop till you drop! Everything you need is likely here. Even the high speed rail to China can be boarded here! Very clean, very modern. But because it is also a very touristy area, expect prices to be a bit steep of course. Nonetheless, a good place to beat the heat in the summer!
