Ladies Market
Tung Choi Street, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Mong Kok’s Ladies Market is one of Hong Kong’s most legendary street markets. Its name originates from the large amount of women's clothing and accessories for sale, but that’s not all you’ll find. A little less than a mile long, the market is crammed with all manner of clothing stalls and accessories for men, women, and children, as well as goldfish, electronics, household items, and just about anything else money can buy.
The basics
As one of Hong Kong’s most popular markets, the Ladies Market is one of the first places most visitors go when in Kowloon. It’s a stop on many walking tours of the area, including market-hopping tours and foodie tours. Don’t leave without sampling some Cantonese street food at one of Mong Kok’s many fantastic street stalls near the market.
Things to know before you go
- The Ladies Market is a must-visit for avid shoppers and first-time visitors.
- See the market on a shopping or food-centric walking tour of Kowloon for some local guidance.
- Bring your bargaining skills—all prices at the Ladies Market are negotiable.
- Keep in mind that the Ladies Market, like many Hong Kong markets, is known for its fake or “copy” products.
How to get there
The Ladies Market is on Tung Choi Street, between Dundas and Argyle Streets, in the north of Kowloon in Mong Kok. The nearest MTR station is Mong Kok. Buses 1, 1A, 2, 6, and 9 from Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier also stop at Nelson Street near the market.
When to get there
The market opens for business in the afternoon, but it really comes alive in the evening, and doesn’t close until around 10pm or 11pm.
Hong Kong's top markets
While the Ladies Market is one of the most popular markets in Hong Kong, it’s certainly not the only one. Once the sun goes down, the eight-block Temple Street Night Market comes alive with food stalls and street performers. The Flower Market near Prince Edward MTR station ranks among the city’s prettiest, while nearby Jade Market is an excellent place to pick up some souvenir jewelry. If you’re looking for antiques and cheap curios to take home, head to Cat Street on Hong Kong Island, and if the haggling experience is intimidating, get an easy introduction at Stanley Market.
