> TEMPLE STREET
Kowloon's Temple Street Market begins in the early afternoon
and goes into the evening. Bargain for prices. Great for
people watching, buying fake brand name goods, cheap watches,
t-shirts and endless things you never really needed but
buy anyway. |

> PARK LANE SHOPPER'S
BOULEVARD
A wide range of retail outlets covering fashion, shoes,
leather ware, sportswear and hair accessories as well
as a small branch of the popular Yue Hwa Chinese Products
Emporium can be found in this shopping area. The boulevard
is basically a long stretch of wide pavement that is lined
with trees, creating a more European shopping style for
Hong Kong. Just behind the shopping boulevard is Kowloon
Park, the largest urban park in Kowloon, and the Kowloon
Mosque & Islamic Centre marks the southern end of
Park Lane Shopper’s Boulevard. |

> Ladies Market
"Ladies Market" used
to sell goods only for women, Tung Choi Street is similar
to Temple Street Night Market, except that it starts its
trading day at noon. In addition
to the street stalls, which sell anything from furiously
beeping alarm clocks and glittering copy-watches to unisex
clothes and CDs, there are also lots of small shops that
sell all sorts of other stuff.
The market is generally quite crowded, and a bit of pushing
is just as expected as haggling over prices. |

throw from all of the action in Tsim Sha Tsui. Once berthed

KONG CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE
Sitting on the Wan Chai waterfront is one of Hong Kong's
most impressive and stunning pieces of architecture. The
Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, with its
sweeping sails and vast glass windows, is a striking visual
testament to Hong Kong's ongoing development. Thanks to
its wide range of state-of-the-art facilities, the HKCEC
is also an ideal venue for exhibitions and trade shows
and is regularly voted "the best convention and exhibition
venue in Asia". The HKCEC was the site of the handover
when Hong Kong was returned to the motherland in 1997;
an event commemorated by the adjacent Bauhinia Square
that is a huge attraction for mainland visitors.
