Hong Kong's Temple Street by Night

There are rows and rows of stalls and shops selling a variety of things from clothings, vcds to knives and torchlights. Other attractions :

Poor people's restaurant, always crowded at night


Some of the food, we dared not eat the clams which were very big. Imagine sinking your teeth into the flesh of the clams which are still half-alive. They would scream!!!


Food street


Another stall


This road has all sorts of fortune-telling stalls.


The stalls on the other side of the same road. The dimness makes them look more mysterious.


These lounges are mostly patronized by older people. The singers usually sing cantonese operatic songs. They charge about HK$20/head. You can order drinks including beer. These are not the sleazy kind of lounges.


Another one


This is not Temple Street. This is the Airport. See the heavily-armed policemen.

hello piano lover, we ate the seafood, didn't try the sha bo fan

we went to Tsimshathui area where you can take the ferry tour, Wanchai - the business district, Causewaybay - one of the shopping areas........but not the tourists sites as we have visited them during previous visits. I also watched a cantonese opera, my friend was not interested.

Your first photo reminds me of one of the food stalls that used to occupy the site vacated by Gay World (in Geylang) about 10 years ago.
