Top 10 Night Markets in Hong Kong for Some Aesthetic Bliss!

Hong Kong is famous for its night markets. Even though only a few are active, they are centres of much hustle and bustle. Earlier in the day, these markets were public open spaces where people used to gather to socialise. These were then converted to the splendid and lively night bazaars. Now, visitors throng these markets for all their needs- be it food, apparel, fortune reading, handicrafts, antiques or even to listen to a late-night concert. Working under the guise of the dark, these markets sell cheap and affordable goods whilst also being great recreational spots.

Below listed are 10 of the best night markets in Hong Kong:

There are over 100 stalls selling jade and jewellery made of jade-like earrings, bangles, rings, bracelets as well as jade figurines and carvings.
