One of the most iconic street markets in Hong Kong, Stanley Market is an old school open-air area located at Stanley Village in the south coast. Popular for its amazing bargains, it is one of the many locations responsible for giving our city its reputation as a revered shopping destination. You’ll find just about anything and everything here from clothes, bags, accessories, toys and various trinkets. Haggling is expected, as well as comparing prices before buying. Shop for Hong Kong souvenirs to remember your trip, and eat at one of the wonderful cafes or restaurants lining the harbour!

One of the biggest outdoor markets in Hong Kong, Stanley Market is as much of a tourist attraction as it is a place to quench your hoarding habits. You can find almost anything here—from the essentials to the frivolous to the insane. (Triple-fused pentaminx 17x17x17 Rubik’s cubes, anyone?) Not everything is second-hand, but some items are recycled while some are handmade. The prices start off low, so there’s no need to play limbo. The area is a hotspot for pickpockets, though, so be careful!
Stanley Market is a traditional open-air bazaar that boasts a plethora of affordable goodies and trinkets! Peruse shops hawking silk garments, paintings, and accessories—just to name a few. You'll definitely find something for everyone back home! Once you're done, go straight to any of the nearby dai pai dongs (open-air food stalls) to have your fill of local Cantonese cooking!

Mercato Centrale (Firenze)
Most people bring clothes, shoes, bags, and fashion back from Italy. Dom and I bring back food. Shameless amounts of it. Truffles, dried pastas, olive oils and aged balsamic vinegar... and pack them in boxes 📦 and newspaper 🗞 courtesy of the hotel concierge. Overweight luggage is a real concern with all that balsamic vinegar and olive oils 😅 If you head over, go on an empty stomach. There’s plenty to eat, lots of little stalls, and your mouth will be kept pretty busy with the constant gobbling.
Tongin Market
One of the city's longest-standing traditional markets. You can get a dosirak (lunchbox) then just fill it up with food from the different stalls, paid using old brass coins. Everything was delicious.
Chatuchak Market
Not a book café, but I'm sure you won't have much trouble finding both books and coffee (or some famous Thai iced tea) at one of the 10'000 stalls of the world's largest weekend market 😎.
