Mongkok is characterized by its many shops, food outlets and bustling night markets. It reminds me a lot of our Bugis Street back in Singapore, except many many times larger. To enjoy shopping here, one must be quite aggressive in bargaining. Unfortunately, not knowing Cantonese was a big handicap for me and I left the place empty handed.
Still, Mongkok was one of the highlights of my visit to Kowloon. If you're one who draws energy from crowds, this is the place to visit!

Ladies Market - One of the more popular and crowded streets in Mongkok.
I can imagine the ladies going crazy here...
There are many stalls selling bags for kids too!
I love how the neon signs make the place look so vibrant.
It is so crowded here they actually close off many streets.
Another picture of the crowds, and this was at 10+ pm.
Mongkok is famous for its dessert stalls and "food booths".
