Yau Ma Tei

Due north of Tsim Sha Tsui is Yau Ma Tei (also spelled Yaumatei), an old fishing village that now bustles with markets, traditional shops and local businesses. It’s famous for its Temple Street Night Market, but also big draws are its Jade Market and old Tin Hau Temple.

Administratively, it’s part of the Yau Tsim Mong District that encompasses Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kong.
