Hong Kong — Goldfish Market 金魚街, Hong Kong

Looking to buy a pet fish in Hong Kong?

September 2015

The Goldfish Market 金魚街 Hong Kong was an interesting place.

I was expecting something large, but it was pretty small.

I was expecting a street market, yet it consisted of shops, with each shop having an incredible display of fish outside.

Some fish were in tanks, but most were hanging there in bags.

Lots and lots of fish in bags.

Not only were there fish but there was also water weed in bags.

Seeing so many fish in so many bags in such a small place was impressive.

Not all the fish were in bags; some were in tanks.

One of the interesting things about Hong Kong, which was demonstrated by the Goldfish Market 金魚街, is that it has several areas where you get a concentration of shops all selling the same thing. This was the case with the Goldfish Market 金魚街, a series of shops spanning a couple of blocks that sold fish and aquarium supplies.

During my visit to Hong Kong, I also came across an area with a high concentration of bathroom shops, but sadly it had not been called the Bathroom Market — I guess that would be too weird and wouldn’t attract tourists. However, unlike the Bathroom Market, the Flower Market, the subject of the next post, is worth a visit.
