The Ladies Street at Mongkok in Kowloon District is an extremely vibrant place to shop that is crowded and bustling. This is the place you can get almost anything at super deal price, including all the knocked off. The key to conquer this place totally depends on your bargain skills, so bring out your best bargain skills, calculators if you needed! Do make sure you look at things before you buy. Some sellers can be rude if you walk away after bargaining. It is a fun experience but be prepared to walk away and be dragged back. There will be several booths with the same merchandise and you will want to find the best deal. This is the place for all your souvenirs stop!

Weather :
In summer time, I recommend to visit during the evening time when the hot weather starting to cool down. Remember this is a highly crowded place so be prepared to still feel the humidity at night.
How to get there :
Ladies Market is such an easy place to find if you take the Mtr. You can take the MTR to the Mong Kok station and take the E2 exit. Approximately walk 1-2 minute and your are in the heart of the Ladies Market.
Advise:
While you may indulged in your shopping spree, always be alert and be extra careful of your belongings as pickpockets always operate in crowded places! Make sure you ask and confirm for the price before purchasing or getting onto a taxi!
