Imagine taking an evening stroll down a well-lit street in the heart of Hong Kong that serves as a single stop for your local food cravings, shopping sprees, and Instagram-worthy shots. You can experience this at the country's Temple Street night market, which presents you with the best of Hong Kong on a single street.

Night markets in Hong Kong started as large bazaars, open-air public spaces where people congregated after work for leisure. As these places gained popularity and saw increased footfall, they attracted cultural and recreational activities like singing, fortune-telling, local food stalls, and flea markets. It soon became an affordable spot, inhabited mainly by the less affluent citizenry of the country.
