What are the precautions for visiting Temple Street in Hong Kong during business hours?
Temple Street is located in Yau Ma Tei, Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is the northbound direction of Hong Kong, connecting Wenming Lane and Austin Road. Temple Street is famous for selling cheap night markets, and it is also known as "civilian nightclubs" in Hong Kong. Because the nature of Temple Street is similar to that of Women's Street in Mong Kok, and the people who come here are mainly men, it is also called "Men's Street". Many movies have been made here.

Every day, from about 16: 00 in the evening to 12: 00 in the morning, the roadside stalls on Temple Street will open one after another. The goods sold in the booth are quite diverse, including men's wear, handicrafts, tea sets, jade articles, antiques, cheap electronic products and even adult products. There are many fortune-telling kiosks outside Tianhou Palace, and there are sometimes traditional Cantonese opera performances nearby. In the early years, some martial artists performed and sold medicines here.

In addition, there are many local food stalls in Temple Street, such as seafood, clay pot rice and various pasta. Because of its popular price and good reputation, it is very popular with residents and foreign tourists. There are also some sparrow pavilions in Temple Street, some of which have decades of history and have traditional cultural characteristics. Most of them are patronized by the older generation.

The temple street archway, which cost HK$ 3 million, was unveiled at 6: 30 pm on 20 10 12 18.
