"Ladies Market" / "Women Street"

Tung Choi Street, Mongkok


Above: the main "thoroughfare" of Ladies Market, with stalls on both sides.
Located in the heart of Mongkok District, the section of Tung Choi Street between Argyle Street and Dundas Street is known by the locals as "Ladies Market" or "Women's Street".

The street probably started out as a street where the local women went shopping for bargain clothing, small household items, and stuff that typically women would shop for.

Nowadays, it is mainly "soft" goods that you would find there - clothing, clothing, and clothing. Well, there are also dolls, small rugs, towels, popouri, etc.; items that most men don't write home about. (But then, there're some watches and stuff.) But fear not! The Mongkok Computer Shopping Center is just around the corner, and one street over is Sai Yeung Choi Street South with many stores selling consumer electronics like digital cameras!

Directions


Above: there's plenty of clothes shopping you can do at Ladies Market.
The Ladies' Market is easily accessible by MTR, buses, or taxis. Of course the MTR is the most convenient. Just get to the Mong Kok station on the red line (not the Mong Kok East station) and get off. Then get out of the station through exit D3. Do a U-turn and walk a few steps back to Argyle Street. Then turn right. Turn right again at the next cross street, Tung Choi Street. You're at Ladies' Market. (2011.8.9)
