Mong Kok
Mong Kok is Hong Kong's densest slice of neon-lit street life, where Nathan Road's shopfronts give way to specialist strips like the Ladies' Market, Sneaker Street, and the Flower and Goldfish Markets. It's a place best experienced on foot after dark, when the crowds, cooked-food stalls, and shop signs are at their most intense.
