The Hong Kong district called Mong Kok is a unique place: it is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most densely populated district in the world with a density of 130 thousand people per 1 sq. m.!
However, tourists do not even think of panicking because of this fact when they find themselves in Mong Kok — on the contrary, this is a place worth visiting for those who love shopping. At the same time, it is surprising that Mong Kok is not a market at all, but simply a large concentration of retail outlets on the ground floors of various buildings.
The streets here are concentrated around the metro station, and the main advantage is that many of them are thematic: in one place they sell electronics, in another they trade clothes, in a third you can find Chinese antiques, and in a fourth - kitchenware.
It is also home to one of Asia's largest flower markets, Flower Market Road, and the bird market Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, capable of impressing even the most discerning shopping enthusiasts.
It is customary to bargain in Mong Kok, so even luxurious jewelry can be purchased here at a low price. Do not miss the chance!
