The Fa Yeun Street Market is one of two that you can visit along Fa Yuen Street in the Mongkok District. It is basically an outdoor bazaar, situated between Prince Edward West Road to the north and Mongkok Road to the south, similar to what you may have encountered at the Jardine's Crescent Market (Causeway Bay), the Wanchai (Cross & Tai Yuen Streets) Market and others around the city where you are more likely to find locals than tourists.
The Fa Yuen Street Market is busy all of the time, be it weekday or weekend. Locals come here to purchase fruits, vegetables and other food items, low cost clothing, shoes, accessories and household products. During holiday periods, you'll find stalls selling festival decorations and items, particularly around Chinese New Year. Unlike the nearby Ladies Market which is geared more for tourists and rather quiet these days due to pandemic related travel restrictions for entering Hong Kong, the Fa Yuen Street Market is still rather crowded and buzzing with activity.
The other market you can find along Fa Yuen Street is further south and is referred to as Sneaker Street. This is where you will find a cluster of shoe shops dealing in athletic, dress and casual footwear. This market is between Argyle Street to the north and Dundas Street to the south and is worth a visit as well if you plan to spend time in the Mongkok District checking out the various street markets and shopping centres.

Definitely suggest visitors to HOng Kong spend a fun 1-2 hours browsing Fa Yuen St, Market. It's big, clean and has plenty of interesting stuff, not just the tat that you get from most markets, but some really photogenic and interesting stuff. The odd food stall, fruit, nuts, tea or chocolate, I bought some beautiful candied mango for my sons, and it was far nicer than the packaged stuff you get in supermarkets. Yes, this is another market, but if you're looking for a fun day out, find your way here.
It is in close proximity to Gold Fish street, Tung Choi street, and the flower market street, and also the bird market. You can really make a great day of it here.
I really enjoyed the pretty polished stone jewellery, the golden chocolates, the gorgeous fruit,
Centred in MOngkok we found it easy to get to FA Yuen from the Cordis Hotel near Langham place, just a short walk.
Make sure you have very good walking shoes that are comfortable. Not a lot of places to sit or to rest.
There is a MacDonalds in the street nearby, in Tung Choi street, where we rested with a cup of coffee for a while,. Not a lot of western style cafes around here.
Its a long street, and worth looking both sides and also the shops behind the markets. Lots of fun. Opens around 11am.

Actually this is one of the best shopping streets in Hong Kong if you like quirky things. Loads of Korean and Chinese fashion shops with inexpensive but interesting fashion. Some outlets and a couple of secondhand shops among leather, jewellery and vegetable and fruit stalls. Take your time and go up and down every side of the streets. Many gems are hidden behind other stalls.

The street market here is one place that I would try to go whenever I visited Hong Kong. It usually see a good crowd on weekend afternoons. You will see many stalls selling clothes, fruits, gadgets, bags, etc. Definitely worth a visit.

The Fa Yuen street markets encountered a fire late last year but I'm a happy to report that everything is back to running full steam ahead now. And all the stalls seem to be new, more modern and the area just seems nicer now. The Fa Yuen market is similar to the Ladies market with more practical things to buy, hence why its crawling with locals instead of tourists. But there is lots of great stuff there to browse and pick up at cheap prices.
While its a nice attraction on its own, its best to combine with other Mongkok area markets, particularly the Bird Market, Flower market and the very exotic Goldfish market just one street over. We recommend combining these 4 area markets in Mongkok for a great afternoon of sight seeing in Hong Kong. If you go later in the day, you can have dinner after Fa Yuen street and then visit the Ladies market on Argyle.

Sadly we stumbled upon this market on our last day. Really good & cheap buy compare to elsewhere. Definitely cheaper than ladies market as mentioned below by the reviews. Love the shops along the street market here. As for the shops along the street, they don't have any fitting room to try the clothes on as my partner wanted to try the jeans but found out no fitting room provided. So it's like buy at your own risk & guess whether should the clothes fit u well. Highly recommend for those who is unsure which street market to go to probably should come here. For non-fussy buyers.

I went to Fa Yeun Street to buy sport gears, especially sport shoes. A hundred of sport goods shops were placed in every block of the street. This was very good to compare the price shop by shop, brand by brand, to get the best choice of mine. You can find every type, color, size, design, brand of sport shoes with different prices from low to high price to meet the money in your pocket. After going to many shop, and trying many style of shoes, I bought Nike shoes in black at HKD 359 at MAX shop finally. I did not know this is cheap, or not. At least, it was cheaper than Nike in Thailand 20%. I was satisfied with that.

Used to live in HK and this is my favourite place to shop for inexpensive clothes and home accessories. You can get everything from clothes and shoes to towlels, fruit, underwear, and home gadgets. You don't bargain or haggle here, the prices are set. Less crowded and toutisty than Ladies Market and Temple Street Market. Less souvenirs and imitation items here. Be sure not to miss the sides behind the market stalls where there are mostly women's clothes and shoes and accessories shops. Bring your own reusable bags and cash. If you need a washroom, find a nearby Macdonalds or go to the shopping plaza above where the walkway overpass is.

I used to like Granville street and Fa yuen Street for the factory outlets where they sell all the overruns from the international brands. Unfortunately, recently most of these vendors have moved out. Does anyone know where they have relocated to? There doesn't seem to be so much to bargain-hunt for these days. Even the ones at Spring Garden Lane have moved out.
