Markets of Hong Kong

Immerse Yourself in Lively Local Culture Embark on a colorful journey through vibrant traditional markets as you stroll the streets of Hong Kong. Famed for its variety of offerings, Hong Kong is known as the shopping capital of Asia. Start at the Jade Market, where you will find more than 200 vendors displaying a selection of jewelry, trinkets and hand-made accessories crafted from this much-loved, semi-precious stone. Long associated with long life and good health in Chinese culture, it is a popular material for good luck charms. Next, head to the Ladies Market, where vendors have offered clothes, beauty products and more since the 1970s. Continue to the flower market and take in the heady scent of the flora, then cap your day with a stop at the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden. Listen to melodic birdsong as you stroll through its gardens and pass by vendors selling songbirds, bamboo cages and other bird-related items. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
