Hong Kong is a night city, and a seriously late one. We are just getting started with our evening journey to bustling Mongkok, famous for its street markets, shopping, and eating. Amidst the hustle and bustle is the trendy shopping complex of Grand Plaza, Gala Place and Hollywood Plaza. Stretched over four bustling streets of Mongkok, is rapidly becoming the area's busiest retail hub. International flagship stores, fashion brands and quality worldwide dining outlets together create the ultimate gathering place where trends meet.
HOLLYWOOD PLAZA

LADIES MARKET
A trip to Mongkok at night is not complete without strolling through Ladies Market, which comes to life at night. Walk just a couple of short blocks from Grand Plaza to Tung Choi Street where Ladies Market is located. The stalls that line the street sell just about anything and very cheap. Be sure to bargain as haggling is half the fun.
