Hong Kong packs its markets into a few dense Kowloon neighbourhoods, so you can see most of them in a single day. Macau, an hour away by ferry, adds two more stops. This guide links to every listing in our Hong Kong and Macau collection.
Only a couple are true night markets; the rest are daytime or afternoon street markets. Hours differ between sources, so check before you go.
Yau Ma Tei
- Temple Street Night Market is the classic evening market, with dai pai dong seafood and fortune tellers.
- Jade Market is a covered hall of jade stalls, open in the daytime.
Mong Kok
- Ladies' Market is the bargain souvenir street, open until about 11 pm.
- Fa Yuen Street Market is for clothes and sports gear.
- Goldfish Market is the street of aquarium shops.
- Flower Market Road is the florist district.
Sham Shui Po and Central
- Apliu Street Flea Market is for second-hand electronics.
- Graham Street Market is a historic fresh-produce lane in Central.
Hong Kong Island south
Stanley Market is a seaside souvenir market.
Macau
- Rua do Cunha Food Street in Taipa Village is a pedestrian lane of pork chop buns, almond cookies and egg tarts.
- Red Market is a 1936 market hall with fresh produce downstairs and a cooked-food centre upstairs.
Hours were not verified for the two Macau stops, so check before you go. Weekdays are calmer than weekends.
Practical tips
- Bargaining: expected at Ladies' Market and Temple Street.
- Transport: Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Sham Shui Po are all MTR stops.
- Cash: small notes help at street stalls. Macau uses patacas, though Hong Kong dollars are widely accepted.
