7. Temple Street Night Market
A stroll through the Temple Street Night Market is another one of those all-important things to do while you’re in Hong Kong. Located in Kowloon, this is the place to go to taste eclectic foods and to shop for bargains on everything from clothing and trinkets to electronics and household goods.
