The Temple Street Night Market embodies the authentic local sentiment. Every evening, once the lights of the street stalls are lit, the entire street is illuminated, attracting a steady stream of visitors and customers, transforming the once quiet street into a bustling hub of activity. A visit to Temple Street can begin at ‘Market Street’ next to the Tin Hau Temple, where you’ll find impromptu performances by enthusiasts of Cantonese opera; singers performing famous Cantonese opera excerpts and popular Guangdong songs; and stalls of fortune tellers and professional chess players. The market is named after the nearby Tin Hau Temple; however, it is also known as ‘Men’s Street’ because most of the goods sold by the vendors cater to men, including knitted clothing, T-shirts, jeans, pens, watches, laser discs, electronic products, toys, computer hardware, and travel bags. Don’t forget that Temple Street is also a popular food destination, with rows of street food stalls lining both sides of the road, offering local delicacies such as claypot rice, and of course, the ‘Noodle Soup with Mixed Ingredients’ made famous by the ‘God of Cookery’. The market is open year-round from 14:00 to 23:00, with specific business hours subject to daily operations.
