Visiting Hong Kong: 3-5 Day Suggested Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"When I’m searching for inexpensive souvenirs I head to the Ladies Market in Mong Kok — it’s one of the busiest markets for bargain clothing, accessories, and tourist trinkets and a perfect place to soak up the frenetic market atmosphere." - Matthew Kepnes

Quintessential Hong Kong experience. No need to actually buy anything - but if you do, try to haggle as that is also part of the fun. Otherwise, walk around and marvel at the sheer... audacity of some of the goods on display that do not seem to fear lawsuits from famous brands. 😉

Back at Mongkok Ladies Market for the second time, 14 years after my last visit in 2010! The vibrant atmosphere remains unchanged - the bustling night market comes alive during dusk and evening hours. Tourists flock to buy souvenirs, haggling with vendors over affordable goods. With plenty of dining options nearby, you can shop 'til you drop and then refuel at one of the many restaurants.

Nice place.as once in a while you can chance upon unique items you have not seen before. A place where you can bargain bargain and bargain for lesser amount of money to spend. On bad weather typhoon however they will pack up the entire street stores.

Ladies’ Market in Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong’s most vibrant and bustling street markets! It’s packed with stalls selling everything from clothes, accessories, handbags, and souvenirs to toys and quirky gadgets. The atmosphere is lively, full of colors, and perfect for bargain hunting. Don’t be shy to negotiate — haggling is part of the fun here, and you can often get a much better price than the first one offered. It can get very crowded, especially in the evenings and on weekends, so be prepared for a busy experience. Also, keep an eye on your belongings, as it’s an open street market. If you’re looking for affordable shopping, unique gifts, and a true taste of Hong Kong’s street market culture, Ladies’ Market is a must-visit!”

You can find all kinds of items here. If you're looking to buy a suitcase, I recommend walking through the entire place first. Ask for prices from each seller on the suitcases you like—prices can vary a lot, with some asking $20, others $30, and even $50 for similar items. Be careful not to overpay, as most products are replicas but offer a cheap solution. I also bought animation character figures here. Most figures are priced between 60 and 500-600 Hong Kong dollars, with the larger and more detailed ones usually costing more. However, you can always negotiate—if someone asks 700-800 HKD, that's overpriced, and you can probably get them 100-200 dollars cheaper with a bit of bargaining. Before buying anything, I strongly recommend exploring the whole market first and then making your decision.

Was looking forward to visit Ladies Market ever since we finalised our trip to Hong Kong. Get ready to put your bargaining skills to the test !!!! It was quite overwhelming because there’s so much to see and so much to buy. A lot of first copy bags and adorable charms and fridge magnets everywhere. Felt like a perfect opportunity to buy in chunks for lesser price.

A very busy market open late into the evening. It wasn’t too busy when I walked though so admiring the wide variety of products was easy, plus none of the sellers were at all pushy. Well worth passing through if you’re in the area.

A must-visit in Hong Kong! The Ladies’ Market is full of energy, with endless stalls selling clothes, accessories, souvenirs, and more. Great place to bargain and find unique items at good prices. Perfect for a lively shopping experience!

Great value to everyone.. Had a blast today walking around each and every stall. Buying what I could for a good deal. Spent more than I should, due to the size of our suitcases...lol... Anyway if you want to barter and have a laugh whilst in Hong Kong this is a place to go to.....

Something for the ladies... Ladies' Market is found in Hong Kong, Mong Kok area and is an easy place to access using the MTR and our Octopus Card. What I wasn't prepared for was the blocks and blocks of merchants many were the same or selling the same items was my biggest issue there wasn't that much different varieties though the prices were amazing. All sorts of souvenirs, clothing, toys and cellphone accessories along with lots and lots of totes. They open quite late at noon and even after that there were still a few that haven't set up so on our walk back noticed that we haven't seen it only to realize that they just set up lol! I do believe that I got some totes but nothing much really sadly though the experience to see all the various items was an interesting experience that I'd recommend and thank you Nadine for it all. Thank you!

If you've been to Temple Street, Ladies Market is even larger, spanning about 4 blocks of every piece of merchandise imaginable spread across endless stalls. Though much of their wares is cheap or fake, and replicated by the many vendors, it's still lots of fun to browse around, or buy some souvenirs. Don't be scared to haggle for the price you want, and don't be intimidated by persistent or rude shopkeepers, as anything you may want is very likely sold elsewhere in the market for a similar price. Remember that the classic "expressing interest, offering a lowball offer (soft positional bargaining), and then walking away" is still a valid tactic for getting the price you want. The highlight was finding fake kanken and supreme bags for $10USD. It goes without saying, but everything is cash-based here.

Make sure you bring your A-game in negotiating the best prices at this huge open market. You need a whole day if you intend to find the best deals.

The Ladies' Market is a known place to shop for affordable fashion goods and it attracts local and tourist. The open-air market runs the length of Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, and both sides of the 1-km-long street are lined with stalls selling clothes, bags, suitcases etc.

Shopping in Hong Kong... I enjoy bargains, so Ladies' Market was a fun place for me! There are about 3 blocks worth of vendors and even though we were there on a muggy September afternoon, it wasn't too bad because it's covered (from the direct sun). I enjoyed looking at the caps, t-shirts, toys, computer and cell phone accessories, jewelry, purses, scarves, etc. I saw a few Hello Kitty items and I even bought a Cony and Brown luggage tag! Luckily, found vendors who gave me discounts. The luggage tag, for example, was $10HK which is about $1.28 US. I asked, "How much for two?" He punched "15" on his calculator. Yay! I was so happy! There was another stall selling wallets. I needed one because my current one was falling apart. The woman started off at $350HK. We went back and forth for a bit and I asked about available colors in between. My final price was $200HK. Haha! So, good luck when you shop here. There's so much to look at... have fun and bring an empty tote bag for your purchases!

Ladies' market is the best place to test out your bargaining skills. There's so many stalls selling a variety of souvenirs, techy items, and counterfeit brands. I once helped my boyfriend get a fake supreme duffle bag here for about 10-15 usd. We didn't really care about the brand since he just needed a duffle for his flight, so $10-15 wasn't too bad as it got the job done. Haggling is an art of its own though. The trick is to pretend to leave if the seller doesn't agree to your selling price, they will usually ask you to come back and just give it to you. Don't worry if they don't because the chances of you finding the same item again at a different stall is 100%. It's even better if you can speak Cantonese because the sellers wont try to rip you off as much. My favorite items to buy at these markets are cutesy luggage tags and luggages. The luggage tags are so cheap that bargaining is usually not allowed but it doesn't hurt to try! I would avoid buying usbs here as I've bought some faulty ones here before. Also refunds are not accepted here so make sure you check the goods before paying. And watch your belongings since the area is typically very crowded though I've never encountered a pickpocket situation here. I think ladies market used to be a lot better back then in terms of goods and seller attitudes. Last year, I asked a seller how much a product was just out of genuine curiosity, said thanks when she responded, and proceeded to walk away. She then asked how much I wanted it for and yelled at me when I said "no thank you." She yelled after me for a good few minutes lol.

Here in Hong Kong and looking to pick up things for yourself or souvenirs to take home without spending a fortune? Make your way to Ladies' Market (LM). Located on Tung Choi Street in Mon Kok, you will find MANY, MANY stalls of vendors selling clothes, hats, bags, wallets, bags, suitcases, cellular phone accessories, art, jewelry, socks and underwear. There's a whole bunch of other things you can buy here and you'll just have to find out for yourself. Too many items to mention. LM opens from noon so don't come early like us. Many vendors require time to set up and many will ignore you like how they ignored us. They focus on setting up their stalls ready for the hoards of people who will come to shop. LM is a great venue to test one's determination and bargaining skills. Merchants will use their limited English to lure you in. At first, they'll give you a high price and of course, you don't pay what they initially quote you. If you do, come and see me and I'll find something on hand that I can sell to you. Many merchants will carry a calculator and punch in numbers and the bargaining begins. Everyone is different on handling these situations. Don't be surprised if the price quotes keep dropping as you say "No thank you." and walk away. I found a drawstring bag initially quoted at HK$89 and she dropped the price all the way down to HK$30 just by me walking away. LM has things for infants to the elderly. They have cute and innocent stuffed animals to nawty underwear that adults can wear behind closed doors. Allow yourself about 1.5 to 2 hours to walk up and down Tung Choi Street. There will be multiple vendors selling the identical items at different prices. Always wanted to buy Louis Vuitton for yourself or a loved one? The imitation ones come very close in appearance at a fraction of what the original costs. As the saying goes, Cash is King. No plastic accepted here. Running low on HK dollars? There are MULTIPLE currency exchange windows nearby. I've only been here in the day and it gets quite crowded. I don't know myself around well enough to come at nights. If you get hungry, there are restaurants and fast food places to grab a bite on the same or adjacent streets. From the metro Mong Kok Station, look for Exit E2 or D3 and Tung Choi Street is nearby. Make your way over to LM and I'm sure you'll find something to buy. 2018 #70

This place is awesome. You can come here and buy a bunch of things for cheap, and you probably know why. Just be ready to start bargaining with the seller. Some of them can be chill and give you a good price and some might not. Be careful around here. There are a lot of people walking here from both sides and the space to walk ain't that big. If it is your first time coming to Hong Kong, I recommend you to come here. It is not my first time, but everytime I come to Hong Kong I will come to this place too.

So a lot of people like to say that the French are super rude, but clearly those who believe that never meet a Hong Kong-er! Guidebooks and blogs will tell you it's okay to haggle, but if you go too low prepared to be cursed and kicked out of the stall. This long stretch of closed off street has more than what you'll ever need. Toys, clothes, random Chinese bowls, fans, fake designer bags, watches, etc. From time to time, sellers will ask if you want to buy Rolex or Gucci and take you to some back alley. These covered stall shops are fascinating and can be overwhelming. If you don't speak Cantonese, most shop owners will communicate through iphones or calculator. If you see something you like, don't buy it immediately because there's probably 4 more shops with the same item; compare costs before buying! From experience, shops with children goods like stuffed toys, nanoblocks and hoverboards tend to be the nicest. Many of the other stores, erm no comment. I speak Chinese and still get treated impolitely haha.

Probably one of the more popular street markets in Hong Kong. This is where they sell all kinds of fake things you can think of. They've got fake LV's, fake Rolex's, and as of March 2016 they even got some fake Yeezy's. Other than all that fake stuff, this is a great place to get souvenirs and little knick knacks. Be sure to bargain here. I, for the life of me, can't; so I come with someone that can. They'll usually say no if you your bargain price is too low, but sometimes, when you start walking away because you can't get the prices you want, they'll come after you and give in. Also, beware of people pick pocketing here. If carrying a backpack, I'd carry that in front of you in this area.

Hmm, if you're in HK and you're looking for a night market, this place is worth checking out. I did like Temple Street Night market better. They have your standard souvenirs (keychains, magnets, t-shirts, etc). They are definitely not the highest quality, but way cheaper than getting souvenirs at the airport! Strangely, we came around 11pm on Sunday and the tents were slowly closing up..I thought they opened until 2am!

Very local entertainment that had become a tourist attraction. Most of the stuff being sold here are made in China and are fake copy right items. The things are nice to look at but not for buying. The prices are incredibly marked up which means you came bargain it down. I saw Mickey and Minnie and they looked super fake to the point ugly. There are bling bling lights everywhere and entertainment. People singing on the street. It's like a night attraction. Must go and see if you are visiting.

Well if you want anything souvenir related for Hong Kong come here. all prices here are negotiable. I think they usually start 400% above price.... So try starting at a price 25% of what they first quote you. Some of the smaller things the margins are less and it's only 200% markup of price. So I definitely got ripped off on these things, but I was in a hurry and didn't care much. 120 hkd for 2 large lucky cat swinging arm (probably could have gotten them for 70hkd for both) 50 hkd for wallet Best of luck in bargaining with these streethawkers and may the odds forever be in you favor.

Headed there again in a few months, but Liu yun Gai is old school, late night, inexpensive, hustler vs bargainer ( actually they're much less into that these days) OG Night street life! Mother grew up one block over, on Fa Yuen, so I def know this bargain outdoor stall mart shopping very well. Yay for Yelp HK! It's crowded, loud, and super fun!

Think you got some haggling skills? Try them out at this night market. Even though this place is called the Ladies Market, most of the things sold can easily be used by both genders. Within the market, you'll find the typical items like small souvenirs, t-shirts, knock off purses, cellphone accessories and etc. Many of the vendors will sell the same items but with varying prices. So be sure to haggle!! Knowing some Chinese will definitely help when it comes to haggling but if you don't know any, just stand firm with your offer and walk away if the seller won't budge. Start at least 50-75% off their asking price and work the price till you're satisfied. There are a ton of restaurants along the side of the market and random street food stalls that you can stop by to eat. Look for crowded places since those suggest good food / cheap prices. The market itself is just one long strip of a street, so just wander down one side and on your way back, go on the other side. Do be aware of your belongings since it does get quite crowded and hectic (especially on the weekend). Most vendors start opening shop around noon ish and closing time is roughly around 11pm. Overall, this is a great time killer if you're looking to shop or browse around.

The Ladies Market does not have much character - compared to a place like Stanley Market perhaps - but you can certainly get some good deals. You'll start to see redundant types of things, but you will quickly find which shopkeepers are more or less likely to bargain with you. There is a huge range of prices quoted, mostly for souvenirs in my case, so definitely feel free to shop around. I got a lot of souvenir shopping done here. I'd say about a third of the shops are selling "copy items," the same proportion are selling souvenirs, and the final portion are selling everyday items, like socks and underwear. (I suppose some of the "everyday items" are also "copy items.") I wouldn't necessarily go of my way to visit the market unless you had some serious bargain shopping to do. Also, surrounding streets are fun to walk around, so be sure to do that too.

Multiple closed off streets that sell everything from clothes to toys, kitchen ware, electronics, souvenirs and other accessories. The products are ENDLESS! Ladies Market is a must when you are in Hong Kong. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, it's still worth the visit. Be prepared to bargain, if you do plan on buying though. Stand your ground and be confident! Also, make sure to check out other shops to compare prices before committing, many vendors tend to sell similar or the same exact products but all at different prices.

REVIEW #42 Ladies Market is definitely a must do if you are ever in Hong Kong! Even if you do not want to buy anything you have to come for just the experience. Out of all the seven markets that I visited in Hong Kong I have to admit that ladies Market is my favorite one. Located walking distance from The Prince Edward MTR station this Market is bustling with mini items that you can pick and choose from. Ladies Market is definitely known as a bargaining Market! When I heard from other reviews that bargaining here is easy I would have never thought it was as easy as I had it when I went. Here is a sample of how easy it is: ME: "Excuse me, how much is this?" Lady Vendor: Looks at me and says quickly, "300 HKD". (Throws out a random damn number. ME: (Walks away) Lady Vendor: "Wait!" (Runs after me). Tugs on my arm and says, "How much you want o spend? ME: "100 HKD" Lady Vendor: "Ey Ya! Only 100? Why not 110 HKD? " ME: Nope only 100 HKD Lady Vendor: "OK, I give it to you for 100 HKD. How many you want to buy? ME: "Only one" Lady Vendor: "Okay". (Gives me the product) I went from 300 HKD down to 100 HKD! Winningggg! The vendors here are very nice but if you do seem to stare at an item or product for too long they would come up and approach you and ask you how much you want to buy it for. If you are not interested in the items and are just looking be warned that they are looking to sell it to you so before they come up to you, you better keep walking LOL. Ladies Market is known as the market that sells anything and everything that you can find at other markets. Hong Kong souvenirs, t-shirts, Bags/purses , clothing, Electronics for a really good price and deal. The list can go on and on! TIP FOR FOREIGNERS: Do not worry if you do not have Hong Kong dollars. The ladies Market vendor will accept United State dollars as well! Just make sure you get your bargain price down before you pull out any money. During my stay here I came here at least two to three times! Mostly for the experience of bargaining but also because I found some really good deals here! I definitely would be back the next time I ever visit Hong Kong! REVIEW 201/196

Ladies' Market is a locally famous market for all kinds of stuff. You can get just about anything there, souvenirs galore, t-shirts, street food, knock-offs of just about every/any brand you can think of. Yes, you can also get yourself a nice fake Rolex if you are brave enough to bring it across custom of your home country. My daughter loves a toy call the L.O.L. dolls, which were for sale for half the price. Upon closer inspection, it's the L.QL. dolls (seires 3). It was really close. So, buyers beware. Though it is open for business during the day, a lot of the shops/stalls will not start their day until about 4-6 pm. It is also much more exciting and livelier, even after midnight, businesses are still open, so don't worry about getting there too late. It is also blocks on the same merch, so shop around first before making a purchase. EVERYTHING is up for negotiation, don't ever pay for the first price they give you. It is usually mark up to 300%, so walk away, pretend to walk away, they will pull (physically) you back for the business. (For the Chinese folks, even if you speak Chinese, pretend you don't) For some reason, you get a better deal if you don't speak Chinese.

Sooo many Hong Kong souvenirs at dirt cheap prices!! Tshirts for 6 for Hk$ 1000 sometimes 7! But after 1 washing though it was all shaped weirdly, I guess you get what you pay for! Haha! Haggle haggle haggle! That's the fun part but please don't harass or run after me if I decide not to buy. Cash only

The Ladies' Market is a must-see market when visiting Hong Kong. For the experience, I give it 4 stars, but for the quality of it I would give it maybe 3 stars. The fun thing about it is the hustle and the bustle and the size of the market. It lives in between apartment buildings so I always love taking a moment to stop and look up between the tarps to see the amount of AC units and laundry hanging between the buildings. As far as what you buy there, I'm not as big of a fan. It seemed like years ago there were more authentic HKG pieces, where now, every other stall sells much of the same. Low-quality fake purses, phone cases, t-shirts, and low-quality souvenirs. There are some oil paintings, but I think the prices are too high. There are better quality paintings and better-priced ones in Stanley Market. Again, if you are looking for great authentic shopping, not the place, but if you want the experience of a historic market, then it's a must.

TIPS: 1) Check to make sure whatever you buy works/is functional/is what you are paying for. 2) If you're buying anything electronic, make sure it works first. 3) If you don't speak Cantonese, be prepared to be ripped off. The starting price is like 5-6x higher than those who do. 4) They will physically touch you, be careful. One lady grabbed me by my waist when I tried to leave. 5) If they give you something "new," open it and make sure it's what you wanted BEFORE you pay. Don't ever give money first. 6) You don't always need to try to lower the price, another option could be asking for more items at the same price/a bit higher. Ladies' Market is filled with tourists, notice that there aren't many local people here for a reason. Regardless, this is a nice place to buy cheap souvenirs for friends. For me, I probably won't be back due to personal reasons, but I still think that this is a good place to stop by if you're touring Hong Kong.

Everyone knows what is sold at Ladies' Market. If you haven't been here before, you can bargain on souvenirs, trinkets, clothing, accessories, and counterfeit goods. There's about 3 blocks worth of vendors and most of them sell the same stuff. Vendors will always give you a crazy price so get ready to bargain. Always offer 25-50% of the price the seller is offering. If you aren't given a price you want to pay, just walk away and the seller will usually give you a reasonable price. You also get what you paid for so don't expect the items you buy to have quality. I've been to HK many times and always find Ladies' Market a fun experience.

Fun experience but most things are easily available on Amazon for similar or cheaper prices in USA. If suspect it's much the same for any other Western country that imports Chinese goods. Need to haggle to get a reasonable price. Just walk away rather than offering ridiculous prices, the vendor will usually come down to the price that ensures they don't take a loss and you still get the best price, don't overdo it though as these people are working long hours for peanuts. TBH it's better ot to buy anything here other than the souvenirs you really want.

It was a great first experience for me and the market stretches pretty far and you can end up spending a lot of time between the narrow walkway. There are plenty of shops here, although there's a lot of repeated merchandise. You will find some gems here, or things you wanted or didn't know you want at great prices. The best part about it is that you can bargain for even better prices. It's a great place for picking up souvenirs. There is plenty of food and actual stores in the surrounding area to add to it.

I wasn't going to write a review for this when I came last month, but I went today and saw something that changed my mind. I bargained for an Anthony Davis jersey and ruthlessly ignored the shopowner's complaints that she needed to make a living for herself. Standard heartstring-tugging, I thought. Boy was I wrong. Today, I scoured the street twice over looking for that shop. gone with the wind. Either she took a day off or I helped put her out of business. My first instinct: put that on the resume! Then guilt kicked in. The shopowners on this street are all lovely people. Always very friendly, welcoming you into their space and not pushing too hard like some street market people do. But it's not easy to make it in Hong Kong. They're increasingly making better and better products (avoid the plastic goods though), but cost of living here is tough. In conclusion, while bargaining is a staple of Ladies Market life, try not to be too savage. I'll definitely come back and check to see if the nice lady's returned

A must experience in Hong Kong! Everything jammed packed with booths and fake designer everything! Bargaining is critical. Shocked how high the price started and how low items were purchased! There is nothing being sold that is life changing, but being in this market and experience this part of Hong Kong may be!

Well, I've been here several times now (visited HK in 2010 and 2012, and now this month) to know how the dreaded game works. I emphasize the game, cause you have to know how to bargain in order to get good deals here, otherwise you're better off shopping at actual stores. Ladies' Market is the most popular street market in Hong Kong, lining about 3-4 blocks long on Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok. While the name says "Ladies' Market", it's really a street market that sells accessories, fashion, electronics, souvenirs, and other gimmicks. It's an extremely busy market at pretty much all times, filled with tourists walking around and yelling at various hawkers for not honouring their bargains. It's actually quite interesting watching how different people try to haggle down their prices. For the record there's no "one method", but screaming "10 dollah, 10 dollah" in front of every hawker will get you kicked out of the stalls. Of course, almost all items being sold here, especially the high end brands like comme des garcons, are fake. Is it something that you care about? Take that into consideration. If you're visiting HK for the first time, definitely take a stroll down here to experience what a street market is all about. If you want low cost items, you'll find them here. If you wanna test your bargaining skills, this is definitely your place to do it. If you want high quality and authentic items...nope your way out of here.

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without visiting the famous ladies' market. It is easily the largest market in town, stretching for several city blocks, and one of the best places to buy a variety of trinkets to bring back home to those friends not lucky enough to be able to go to Hong Kong themselves! From jade statues to cartoon character magnets, to tote bags, to fast fashion clothing, to jewelry, the variety of items crammed into the narrow streets of that block is truly amazing! I went there on a recent trip to Hong Kong and enjoyed shopping for, haggling for, and finally purchasing souvenirs for myself and friends as well. As mentioned above, haggling is a part of the game, so drive a hard bargain, particularly if you buy multiple items from the same merchant. I was impressed at my discipline, managing to leave with a few items that I had intended to buy and then just a handful more, but I will definitely return on my next trip to Hong Kong!

As a teenager I used to love this place and every year coming to HK I would spend most of the money buying unnecessary things from this place only to get yelled by grandma saying I buy trash. Now I understand and I see the Ladies' Market from a different angle. It's true. Don't expect to find quality here. There are certain things here and there you can find for a great deal but other than that it is just trash you purchase, which doesn't last long. But for tourist I'd say it's a have to do experience when you're in Hong Kong and it can be very fun to walk through the alley to see all these different things you've never seen before.

I appreciated Ladies' Market much more as a tourist attraction than as a place to buy things I might actually use. It was a fun place to visit, and I'd recommend a stroll down Tung Choi Street if you're ever in Hong Kong. I came to Mongkok with my family, and we were getting overwhelmed by all the shopping streets until we finally consulted our tour guide to the district--the reliable Wikipedia, which told us Ladies' Market was the place to go. We found our way to Tun Choi Street about half an hour before the stalls started to open. I guess there's no official start time, as the stalls are all operated separately, but we were told to come back at noon, and that seemed to be opening hour, at least on that Monday. The street was set up with dozens and dozens of stalls, each of them with a tented, provisional look. They spilled with merchandise, pinned up and hanging and spread out on tables. Clothing, accessories, electronics, souvenirs, and knick knacks, just all the junk you can possibly imagine. My mom bought a pair of reading glasses at one of the stalls, and though they were already cheap, she made sure to haggle. She didn't push it too far, and was sure she could've gotten them even cheaper. For the most part, though, we weren't really there to shop, and it didn't take us too long to walk through Ladies' Market. The fake handbags didn't really appeal to me, and the clothing that jumped out did so for the wrong reasons--a Michael Jordap [sic] T-shirt, for example, featuring a slam dunk in silhouette, as squiggly and misshapen as the famed Potato Jesus. There were some cute figurines and tons of fun flash drives for some reason (like I kind of wanted a Despicable Me Minion flash drive--there were so many of these all over Hong Kong), but nothing that made me want to spend actual money. In any case, Ladies' Market was fun and interesting, definitely a good place for a tourist browse. I wouldn't bring an empty suitcase or anything, but it's well worth a visit.

Rada bags, Jimmy Choc purses, and Calven Klein undies abound. Very busy and not many good finds. I think it's worth walking through once just to see the sheer variety of all the goods these vendors are hawking. We did buy a few gifts and souvenirs here (plus a giant tote bag to haul all our gifts back to the States), so I guess not all was lost. I just don't like the crowds much and really suck at haggling.

Ladies Market was among the "Must Do" items on my checklist while visiting Hong Kong. It was definitely more enjoyable as a tourist attraction than for the actual type of shopping I prefer. It's great for frugal, don't care about quality, or for picking up tchotchkes like magnets, keychains, inexpensive luggage, etc. More importantly, this place is well known for knock off designer handbags, etc. Anything you want from Gucci and Louis Vuitton to Prada or even a Birkin bag - they have it for you here. Seemed like everybody and their mama in Hong Kong was rockin a knock-off version of the Bao Bao Issey Miyake. The hand fidget spinners were also a popular item being purchased. Knock offs are not my cup of tea, but it's fun to see nonetheless. Oddly, I did procure a fabulous piece of artwork. I plan on getting it matted and framed. Mongkok is also known for "Sneaker Street". This is co-located within the Ladies Market area at Fa Yuen Street. Now THIS is where we spent almost an entire day. I definitely recommend a visit to Ladies Market, but I HIGHLY recommend a visit to Sneaker Street.

Shoppers' and bargain hunters' paradise! Bring cash and brush up on your bargaining/haggling skills before you come here. Huge outdoor market. Stall after stall after stall of Tshirts, handbags, jewelry, watches, toys, electronics, souvenirs, luggage, lingerie, leather goods, clothing, etc. Tips: 1. Never accept the first price they offer. You will be grossly overpaying if you do. Prices are marked up as you are expected to try to haggle the price down. 2. Aim for around 50% of the initial price. 3. Don't show them how much money you have. If they see that you have a lot of money, they will be less likely to bring the price down. A friend's favorite technique is to only put the amount she wants to pay in her wallet, then she actually shows them that that's all she has so she couldn't possibly pay more. (She's a hard-core haggler btw). 4. Don't be afraid to walk away if you don't get the price you want. Chances are, there are two or three other stalls selling the same items, so you can try your luck again there. Is Ladies' Market a "must-do" in Hong Kong? Perhaps only if you're an avid shopper. Otherwise, it might be we worth a look just to experience the spectacle of it all.

I wouldn't say Ladies Market is a "must-do" in Hong Kong, but it is a great street flea market worth visiting if you love purchasing random souvenirs such as magnets, clothing, handbags, luggages, phone and tablet cases, USB thumb drives, and knock-off designer goods. The market runs a few blocks long along Tung Choi Street, and many of the vendors sell the same items. Bargaining skills come in hand here, and be sure to bring cash only! And Ladies Market isn't just for ladies, despite the name.

Ladies market is a great place to buy counterfeit goods, trinkets, souvenirs, and knock off supreme. The quality isn't the best as many do break fast, my supreme umbrella broke after 2 uses. My tip is look around for the best price before buying because one stall sold the same item at $17hkd vs the another at $10hkd. Usually the inner stalls are cheaper than the outer ones. After fining the best price haggle down the cost.

This market is huge! We definitely enjoyed the evening shopping and bargaining with the local vendors. Just be careful with some items though that do not work like the USBs. It´s always best to test first than be sorry later. There a several restaurants around so when you get hungry after strolling, food is just a stone throw away!

Fun place to visit and teach our kids to haggle! Lol! We went during the weekday when it wasn't so crowded which was nice but unfortunately it was just way too hot and humid that day.

Ladies Market, a.k.a. Tung Choi Street, is a street filled with over hundreds of stalls where you can get your hands on all kind of clothing, souvenirs or even accessories. Though most tourists believe it is a great place to get cheap presents that represent Hong Kong for their family and friends back home, in all honesty, Ladies Market has changed a lot over the years and unfortunately most of the things there are over-priced (even though they expect you to haggle, still, the items are generally too costly for their worth) and are 'fake' or of 'poor product'. However, it does not mean that I do not suggest you to come. As a matter of fact, this place is still a must-visit because it truly represents the Chinese way of shopping and selling, in this case, bargaining. If you are really looking for souvenirs, I recommend buying them off the shops at a registered place and those that look legit. Though they may be quite touristy and expensive, at least the quality is there and you do not have to bargain for half and hour. Yet, I strongly suggest whoever thinks they are a good haggler comes here and try their luck and see if you can really get a "bargain".

Gray place to buy souvenirs and what nots! They have knock offs, don't take the first offer, walks away and they will bargain with you! There are many booths, so try to get the. Best bargain for what you are after. Places to eat around the booths but take money with you if you want to eat at them. The ladies market takes hkg dollars but they will also take American dollars. If you take American dollars take smaller bills to bargain, if you have big bills you will not get American dollars back only hkg dollars. I'm sure they bargain with other currencies like Euros and Pounds etc....

How much stuff could there be? A LOT. Tons of replica of brand name/designer stuff, toys, pjs, luggages, basically anything you can think of. I went more for the tourist attraction than for shopping because it's a sight to see with numerous stalls and tourists. They have souvenirs to bring back like I love HK shirts, magnets, etc. Be sure to bring cash on hand and never pay full price. Sharpen your bargaining skills because you can always haggle for a lower price than what they tell you.

Crazy busy market with many many vendors. The product is inexpensive and often knock-off JUNK! You may find the item does not even work. BEWARE!

Don't bother. Nothing but tourist crap for the rubes. If you're 13 and have never traveled before, you may find value. Otherwise, find something else to visit.

This is one overdue review. Went to Asia with some girlfriends and a local recommended this place. This place was simply amazing. If you are a frugal fashionista like me you should absolutely go to this place. What I loved most about this place is the variety of things you can purchase ranging from clothes, shoes, accessories, back packs, phone cases, water bottles and so on. Secondly the bargaining is out of this world. A trick I am going to teach you about this market is whatever the price is, half it and go from there. If they say it is 100 HKD, propose 50 HKD and go up if you need to. If they say no, just turn around and keep walking... they will end up runnning after you and try to come to a compromise... lol. You should also have it mind that they will already know you're a foreigner and might have already tripled the cost. Of course it is a cash only market so try and go with small change so they don't tell you they don't have change for you. lol I really enjoyed doing that and got the most amazing things. My only regret is not going sooner because by the time we went we didn't have much spending money left. Hahaha
