Mongkok

Sai Yeung Choi St. South, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Above: Sai Yeung Choi St. South is blocked off as pedestrians only on weekends on Sundays and holidays a large part of the day, and also on weekdays starting late afternoon.
Nathan RoadIf you want to go to the typical sights you see on postcards, one place you will not be disappointed in is Mongkok. You should go in the evening after dark because then you can see the shop signs lit up in all kinds of neon lights in Chinese - just like what you see on postcards. It is in the heart of Kowloon and reachable by MTR. But beware: it is crowded! After all, it is said to be the most densely populated area in the world. Even during the day, you will wonder why all those people are there. Don't they have to work??

Shown to the right is Nathan Road in Mongkok. Nathan Road is a main road in Kowloon running from TST to Mongkok, with shops all along.

Mongkok traffic The scene in the photo immediately to the left is not considered a traffic jam - the cars are just waiting for the traffic light. Life in the big city!
