Wisanu Tuntawiroon
★★★★★7 months agoGoldfish Market in Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong’s most colorful and unique streets — a lively stretch packed with aquarium shops, pet stores, and rows of brightly bagged goldfish hanging outside storefronts like living decorations. It’s vibrant, a little chaotic, and full of personality in that distinctly Hong Kong way. Walking through the market is an experience in itself. You’ll find everything from tiny goldfish and bettas to exotic marine species, turtles, and aquarium plants. The variety is impressive, and even if you’re not planning to buy anything, it’s fun to browse and see the incredible range of colors and setups on display.

★★★★★a year agoMarket is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps “handful of shops along a road” is more accurate. Fascinating array of fish, reptiles, and freaking spiders 😖. A must see with kids.
