Mong Kok (or Mongkok) is one famous spot in Hong Kong for retail and entertainment. It is an area in the Yau Tsim Mong District on Kowloon Peninsula.
As soon as the fireworks display ended in Hong Kong Disneyland, we went straight to Mong Kok via MTR. We wanted to check out Ladies Market and we were surprised that Mong Kok is not just about that.

What to See in Mong Kok?
Colorful Street
Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Feel the busy streets of Mong Kok with its colorful signboard display. The people and different stores around you will make you realize that really, you're in Hong Kong! :)
Electronic Goods (For Gadget Shopping)
Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Planning to buy a gadget? I guess this is one place in Hong Kong you should see. A haven for photographers & videographers.
Ladies Market
Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
A place to check out when you're looking for cheap souvenirs, clothing, accessories and the likes. This is the reason why we went here in Mong Kok but how ironic we didn't explore Ladies Market that much. Vendors here usually pack up before 12 midnight (around 11pm).
Sporting Goods
Fa Yuen Street Sports Centre
A haven for sports enthusiast! We walked along and found out great shops around. It is sometimes called the Sneakers Street because of a lot of small retailers who sell sports equipment, clothing and a wide variety of shoes. We were amaze how the streets were full of sports store repeatedly: Nike store then Adidas store then Nike again, so on and so forth. We ended up checking lot of stores for sporting goods hunting.
Street Foods
You can check out street foods too (well practically not just in Mong Kok).
Should you wish to shop or explore more around Mong Kok, here's other areas to check as well:
