About Temple Street
Rows of stalls, merchandise displays and food businesses give the street a different appearance as the market becomes active. Its name comes from the Tin Hau temple in the neighbourhood, connecting the market setting with an older community landmark.
Walk the market at a pace that leaves room to look at the stall displays and the surrounding permanent shops. The appeal is the changing street scene rather than any guaranteed bargain. A food stop can be part of the circuit, with the day’s open stalls and restaurants determining the practical route.
What to look for
- Market stalls and illuminated merchandise displays transform the street setting in the evening.
- The Tin Hau temple connection adds a community landmark to the wider market neighbourhood.
