 Even
though the "Bird Street" has been relocated to the "Bird
Park", the Goldfish Market, or the "Goldfish Street"
as known by the locals, is still flourishing. Its real name is
Tung Choi Street.
It got its nickname because of the large number of aquarium
stores. With a whole two blocks worth of them, it's no doubt the
largest cluster in Hong Kong. There're definitely more fish than
people. If you can't find your pet fish there, you'll have to
go catch your own out in the wild! (Above

As you would expect, it is also the place for turtles, corals,
fish food, fish tanks, and all kinds aquarium supplies. And if
you would like to have a jelly fish for a pet, you can find one
there too.
The shops can be found on the stretch of Tung Choi Street between
Prince Edward Road West and Mong Kok Road. Prince Edward is the
closest MTR station.
 While
you're shopping, you can also enjoy an aromatic local snack: stinky
tofu. Just follow your nose and you'll find the shop! (2008.9.15)
