Temple Street also has another name, "Men's Street," because it mainly sells male products, including knitted clothing, jeans, pens, watches, electronic products, and toys. However, in recent years, the variety of goods sold by small vendors has become more diverse. The night market also offers many traditional Cantonese snacks. Along both sides of the road are rows of street food stalls. Besides the famous claypot rice, there's of course the delicious "Nasi Lemak" (mixed noodles) from the movie "Food God." Besides "Food God," this location has also been a filming site for many Hong Kong movies such as "New Love," and "Temple Street Story."

Is Woman's Street only for women? Not at all! Woman's Street got its name because in the early days, most stalls here sold women's clothing and accessories.

Woman's Street gathers over a hundred stalls lining up for a kilometer-long street. The crowd is bustling, making it one of the most representative open-air markets in Hong Kong. Many savvy shoppers love to come here to pick out bargains and souvenirs. Most things here are negotiable, so be sure to compare prices before you buy!

After experiencing the bustling crowds of Woman's Street, take a break and head to Cheung Chau Island, a charming coastal town on the southern end of Hong Kong Island, away from the city's hustle and bustle. Here, there are no skyscrapers or hurried footsteps, only sunshine, beaches, and people leisurely enjoying life at a slower pace. The most lively place in Cheung Chau is the Cheung Chau Market. A variety of small shops and stalls sell leather goods, silk, wool, and cotton clothing, as well as Chinese crafts and handmade souvenirs—a true shopper's paradise. What makes this market special is that part of the main street has been covered with a roof. As air conditioning from the stores blows outwards, even when it's scorching hot outside, the market remains pleasantly cool, making it perfect for leisurely browsing and finding unique gifts for family and friends.
