[PLACE] Gold Fish Market 金鱼街 @ Mong Kok
There's a well known phrase in HK movies or dramas, "Uncle bring you see gold fish", which is actually a pick up line of kidnappers or filthy uncles trying to lure kids by inviting them to visit the gold fish stalls. There's also this interesting street known as Gold Fish Street in Hong Kong, because the whole street is basically selling gold fishes.
It was quite a sight because of the vibrant colours of the fishes. Other than gold fishes, the gold fish street, or originally known as Tung Choi Street also supplies various aquatic and aquarium equipments.
TO GO
The gold fish market (Tung Choi Street) is basically a few blocks away from Mong Kok Station. Just take Kwun Tong Line (Green) or Tsuen Wan Line (Red) and then drop off at Prince Edward Station, Exit B2. Alternatively, you can come from Mong Kok by just walk up the old pedestrian sky bridge and get down to Tung Choi Street on your left.
ATTRACTION
You will find all sorts of aquatic creatures here, in the stalls or the shops.
Some fishes are packed and arranged in plastic bags, similar to what our Malaysian version for fighting fishes.
Price ranges from the cheap, to the most expensive.
SUMMARY
Just happened to pass by the gold fish market and decided to have a peak due to curiosity. There's nothing much here other than vibrant colour of fishes and the sound of water pumps. Good photo opportunity.
