🌃Walk into the Hong Kong style! The night view of Hong Kong Temple Street is more exciting than the movies🌃

#5月好去地方2025 Address: Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon (about 3 minutes walk from Jordan Station or Yau Ma Tei Station) Atmosphere/Facilities: Temple Street is one of the most representative civilian night markets in Hong Kong. It starts to get lively in the evening. The street is lined with vendors and old shops, selling antiques, men's and women's clothing, daily necessities, small appliances, mobile phone cases, souvenirs, etc. There are also many fortune-telling stalls, street performers and open-air restaurants. The street is not wide, but the crowds are dense and the atmosphere is warm. There are convenience stores, public toilets and MTR stations around, and transportation and living functions are very convenient. Tickets: Free ⸻ Features: • A night market cultural landmark with the old Hong Kong style • Combining authentic Hong Kong snacks, street performers and street stall culture • You can experience fortune-telling, listen to Cantonese opera, and buy cheap groceries, all at once • It was the filming location for many movies and Hong Kong dramas, full of nostalgic atmosphere • Near the Yau Ma Tei Tin Hau Temple and Temple Street Archway, suitable for taking photos and checking in Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) ⸻ Experience: From the movie to reality, Temple Street made me relive the Hong Kong-style Jianghu dream If Hong Kong is a classic Hong Kong movie, then Temple Street is one of the most flavorful scenes in the movie. This time when I came to Hong Kong for a trip, I specially chose an evening to visit Temple Street. As soon as I turned into the street, I was surrounded by a strong nostalgic atmosphere. The street is not wide, and both sides are filled with various stalls, from antiques, mobile phone cases, watches, clothes, and even colorful old movie posters. They are all available at low prices and in a wide variety of categories, which dazzled me. Temple Street is lively at night, but not noisy. Walking in it is like traveling through a Hong Kong movie from the 1990s. Every few steps, you can hear the familiar Cantonese shouting, and the boss's warm greetings, "Come and watch, it doesn't matter if you don't buy." What surprised me most was that next to a small stall, a street performer was playing Cantonese opera on the erhu, and there were several elderly people singing softly next to him. The scene seemed to be still in time, and it was so real that it seemed like an illusion. After walking for a while, I couldn't help but sit down and try the legendary "Temple Street Claypot Rice". The clay pot was sizzling when it was served, the rice was full of the aroma of the sauce, and the crispy rice crust was super addictive. With a bowl of hot old-fashioned soup and a plate of fried squid, this meal was really satisfying. Although the stalls are simple, the street flavor is more memorable than high-end restaurants. In addition to food and shopping, the most interesting thing about Temple Street is the whole row of "fortune-telling streets". Most of these stalls offer services such as horoscopes, Ziwei Dou Shu, palm reading, and tarot cards. I was just curious at first, but an old man enthusiastically asked me to sit down and said that I could take a look for free. As a result, we chatted for more than ten minutes. Although whether it is accurate or not is a matter of opinion, the mysterious and friendly interaction left a deep impression on me. Of course, Temple Street is not perfect. Stalls in some areas will repeatedly sell similar products, and the tourist atmosphere is heavy, and there is less feeling of being visited by locals. But overall, this is still the most direct place to feel the charm of old Hong Kong, especially for people who are visiting Hong Kong for the first time. The moment I walked out of Temple Street, I couldn't help but look back. The lights were flashing and the voices were bustling. The familiar and unfamiliar scene reminded me of many classic scenes in Hong Kong movies. Temple Street is not just a night market, but more like a continuing memory of old Hong Kong. Next time I come, I will definitely sit down again, order a pot of clay pot rice, and listen to an old Cantonese song. #Hong Kong must-check-in place #Clay pot rice #Hong Kong #Temple Street #Temple Street Pedestrian Street #Temple Street Night Market #Jordan #Yau Ma Tei
