1 Austin Rd WThe Tung Choi Street market is a cheek-by-jowl affair offering cheap clothes and trinkets. Vendors start setting up their stalls as early as noon, but it's best to get here between 1pm and 6pm when there's much more to offer. A terrific place to soak up local atmosphere.

Strolling down Shanghai St will take you back to a time long past. Once Kowloon's main drag, it's flaked by stores selling Chinese wedding gowns, sandalwood incense and Buddha statues, as well as mah-jong parlours and an old pawn shop (at the junction with Saigon St). This is a terrific place for souvenirs - fun picks include wooden mooncake moulds stamped with images of fish or pigs or lucky sayings, bamboo steamer baskets, long chopsticks meant for stirring pots and pretty ceramic bowls.
The main business here is kitchen goods. Check out dozens of shops hawking woks, cleavers, tree-trunk carving boards and other necessities of Chinese cookery.

Sightseeing
The liveliest night market in Hong Kong, a stroll through here with its street vendors, cooked food stalls, fortune tellers and street performers provides a unique nocturnal experience. It is a good place to go for the bustling atmosphere and the smells and tastes on offer from the dai pai dong (open-air street stall) food. The market starts at around 6PM and stays open until 11P daily.

You can't say you've 'done' Hong Kong until you've taken a ride on a Star Ferry, that wonderful fleet of electric-diesel vessels with names life Morning Star, Celestial Star and Twinkling Star. Try to take your first trip on clean night from Kowloon to Central. It's not half as dramatic in the opposite direction.

This kitschy but classic light and music show takes place every single night of the year at 8PM, with classical Chinese songs playing in time to the sight of the Hong Kong Island skyscrapers flashing their light across the harbour.
Get to the waterfront a few minutes early to secure a good position. Best on clear nights.
