A truly enjoyable HK cultural experience where one can buy and try many fruits unavailable in the US mainland. Be adventurous and try different offerings. Best was the coconuts we had in Costa Rica (where the Costa Ricans call “pipa”) are sold here at a steep discount. But shop around because different stalls will sell at different prices. Other things to try: durian, mangosteen (when in season), mangoes, etc. Be adventurous and try different fruits.

I came across this fresh market around 8 AM while I was on my way to the Kwan Tai Temple. The market is located on Canton Road and is mostly frequented by locals. There are street stalls as well as permanent shops on both sides of the road. A wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and meats—both fresh and dried—are available here.

I have not been to the wet market for about 5 years. However it keeps showing up on Google maps that I was there last week. So today I made a purpose visit to the wet market. A Sunday is probably not the best day to go to the wet market. Because The people who work there like everyone else they like to have a day off as well. However all is not lost, they will always be some shops open and today there was I only visited the ground floor and it was seafood and there's a couple of shops at the entrances that have all manner of items you may buy but mostly dry goods fresh goods for seafoods meat beef also. Often it's a very good restaurant at the top of the wet markets. I will look into that another time. These buildings have an all-round purpose. These indoor markets sell all manner of items. Where there is a market indoor market I should say you would normally find the public service facilities are in the same building so there are toilets and showers available to the public. Note, these are not western style facilities although they may be a couple of sit down commodes for the toilets most are squats. Plus these buildings serve as a rubbish collection point as well. Possibly not th

Yau Ma Tei Market is an old market near Mongkok, it was built in 1957. It is a 3-storey building. There are many stalls selling fishes, fresh vegetables, fruits, poultry and meat. It is an interesting place to visit and take photos in the morning. Do watch your steps as it is quite dim inside and the floor can be wet.

Typical HK style wet market. Local produce including vegetables and meat. Should see how fresh meat are sold from the stalls versus that in butcher shop overseas. Interesting for tourist to visit it. So different from the Western world.
