Best Street market area in Hong Kong. We were travelling to Sri Lanka and had a 14 hour lay over in Hong Kong on December 24th 2018. We don't know much about Hong Kong, but luckily found a Sri Lankan restaurant in East Tsim Sha Tsui. They recommended Sham Shui Po market. We were not disappointed, you will find almost everything here, electronics , clothes, bags, statues, jade shops, tools you name it, very cheap.Place is very busy after 3 PM. There are MIT train stations every where, so best way of transportation is by train and get down at Sham Shui Po station.

The are many faces to Hong Kong, many of them are not on Nathan road, or Causeway bay.
the district of Sham Shui Po comprises of many street each one with it's own special feeling; button street, ribbon street, bead street ...
Even if you are not looking for anything in particular, it is still enjoyable to walk up and down the streets and window shop.
We found a wonderful jewelry and stone shop and for about $300 walked out with 3 pearl and semi precious necklaces and 3 bracelets.
There is also a electronics street, where you can find original and cheap versions of a wide variety of items.

After several visits and searching for the best prices for our little 3 year old niece's items, Sham Shui Po was the best area. Take the train and shop, shop, shop. This area has more locals and less tourists, but I still bargain as much as I can. Beware of vendors selling similar looking items (when packaged), open them first to compare if you find one shop much cheaper than another, or risk buying half a scarf!

This is one of the great undiscovered parts of Honk Kong that is a joy to walk around. You can take the Tsuen Wan metro line to Sham Shi Po subway stop and walk a few blocks to Yu Chau Street. Or ask the taxi driver to take you to Hung To Button Company, 173 Yu Chau Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong. That will put you in the middle of the "Button District" It's a great store with literally thousands of different buttons on the walls. Typically there are walls of tiny drawers with a sample botton on the front. When you pull out the little drawer there are sections with that button style in various sizes. They give you a little basket to put your buttons in and you can go wild. The styles are endless and the prices are so low you will be astounded. Up and down the street there are shops selling buttons, trim, ribbons, beads, pom poms , what used to be called "Notions" back when Americans used to sew their own clothes.
What I do now is buy a blouse at some bargain retailer in the States and substitute very high end buttons on that blouse. So the bargain blouse looks like you bought it on Rodeo Drive . My sister makes earrings from the buttons and strangers come up to her and ask WHERE did you get those earrings? Lots of fun great bargains not touristy at all...

HKTA has released a booklet on Sham Shui Po which you can get before exiting to arrival hall at the airport. Booklet summarises all the interesting places to explore and good eating places. Not to be missed are food shops like Sun Heung Yuen ( very good beef sandwiches), Hop Yik Thai ( cheong fun with a very tasty sauce), Sheh Wong Yip (snake soup), Wai Kee (pig liver noodles) and Kung Wo Beancurd. There are several other highly recommended eating places but not enough space in one's stomach to try all. Went to Sun Ngai Seng where Mr. Yau, an expert on umbrellas, gave me a long lesson on how to open and close an umbrella so that it will last 5 times longer. I think I need to come again a few more times to explore and try the various recommended food mentioned in the booklet. Remember to pick up a copy at the airport.
