Hong Kong by night - Temple Street Night Market & Rooftop views
Hello!
Happy weekend! Time for some more stories..
Temple Street Night Market
During the trip I enjoyed Hong Kong a lot also during the nights since the city is busy around the clock. One evening I decided to hit the Temple Street night market which you can find in Yau Ma Tei area on the mainland. The closest metros for this would be Yau Ma Tei or Jordan but decided to talk a walk from little further to see more of the city.
After the sunset it starts to be busy and all the sellers have got their stalls ready. You can find different kind of souveniers, art, toys and jewellery in the packed narrow street just to mention few.
I shopped a little and then focused on just enjoying the atmosphere and curiously looking around. Other than that the biggest thing I wanted to check the place out was the food. You can find you a table on the street in a little restaurant as in many places in Hong Kong. There were so many options that eventually stopped in a little place for a cool beer and some spring rolls (yummy!!).
You can feel the energy of the busy place and just sit there people watching which is one thing I enjoy a lot on my travels.
Rooftop view over Hong Kong
Later in the evening the best idea hit once it was time to make a decision is it time for bed or some more adventure. There has to be a way to get on the rooftop of the hotel! Which turned out to be true once taking the lift to the 38th floor and hopping few more floor up and once I got up it was just unbelievable view!
On one side you can see all the sky high houses that continue up the hill and on the other side you still had a view over the waterfront and the mainland. Even if I've lived and travelled some big cities now it hit me how many people live here and how huge it is!
It was something that definately doesn't realistically transfer through pictures but you understand me if you have seen a similiar one. It was a very warm night to just chill on the grass and enjoy the night. Was little tired next day at breakfast but this was so worth it!!
