Streets squares and districts to visit Hong-Kong 香港

This fishing village occupies the west coast of the island. Once surrounded by salt marshes transformed into fish parks, this village does not lack charm. It is one of the last villages on Hong Kong stilts. It was built and is populated by the Premiers, the first inhabitants of Hong Kong. This community of nomadic fishing for centuries in the waters of the territory. The site is a very pleasant step for lunch. We follow the main street in the heart of the stalls of dried fish and shrimp blocks before access to Kwan Tai temple, right in Kut Hing Hou Jie. It dates back to the th century and is dedicated to the god of War and Droiture. Small altars erected along the street are dedicated to the god of the soil. This practice has been going on for 1 500 years. We turn right on this street (No. 47) to see the temple Hau Wong, dated 1699, dedicated to a hero who mortgaged the last emperor Song of the Mongols. Take right after the bridge and continue up to the roundabout of small houses. Everyone knows everyone here. Houses, which are aluminium-covered to maintain freshness, are transmitted from generation to generation.

A particularly atmospheric market, with stands occupying the pavement and full of ready-to-wear men, gadgets, watches, sunglasses, luggage… The whole thing is cheap and negotiable: the opportunity to buy souvenirs, between the «I love Hong Kong» T-shirts and other local admirers.

Faced with the cultural center, marked by Hong Kong's movie stars (see the statues of Bruce Lee, Anita Mui or mcdull) in the image of Los Angeles, it runs along the seafront. It offers a spectacular panorama of Hong Kong Bay, more at night, and leads to the Hung Hom area east. Every night, at 8 p. m., a show of sound and light is organized along the seafront. The tourist office named it The Symphony of Lights. Laser rays emerge from skyscrapers on both sides of the harbor. This magnificent spectacle is all the more remarkable since it was very difficult to grant all participants and owners of competing buildings each other.

By leaving Prince Edward Station, the flower market brings flowers from all over the world. It is the pleasure of orchids and bonsai lovers. As for the photogenic garden of birds, residents of a certain age expose their beautiful strains. The amateurs also come to get supplies of giant grasshoppers or buy finely kk cages.

A time specializing in women's clothing, unlike Temple Street that sold only for men's clothes, this market now resembles its Homologue Ma Tei counterpart. It focuses on cheap clothing, fantasy jewellery and accessories, and plays elbows early in the afternoon.

The village of Lei Yue Mun is a former lair of pirates and smugglers, partly built on piles. Situated on the seafront, this village has become a must for fish and seafood lovers. Here you can stroll between the stalls of the market, choose fish and seafood and bring them to a restaurant for cooking at its convenience. Lei Yue Mun has been able to preserve the atmosphere a little villains of the small fisherman villages of Hong Kong's past.
