What Are Hong Kong Private Night Markets?

The night markets of Hong Kong are certain roads that come alive during the late evenings. Outdoor stalls selling a variety of products from souvenirs to street foods line up along these streets. Sellers often stay open late into the night and are known as “hawkers’ as each one sells a particular item.

These lively markets are one of the favorite attractions for locals and tourists alike. You can find mouthwatering snacks, delicious street food and hard-to-find souvenirs at the markets. The night markets provide colorful sights, aromas, and a hum of energy that make it an enjoyable adventure.

And of course, most importantly…the delicious street food. Local favorites at Kowloon’s night markets include fish balls, squid, sausages and barbequed meat.
