Conclusion
Overall, I had a great time exploring Hong Kong before the new generation of travellers came about. During my trip here, I also stayed at the Dorsett Seaview Hotel.
Every day when I left the hotel or came back, I would pass the Temple Street Market and sometimes, I would even have supper here at the market as they have an awesome corner shop selling local Hong Kong noodles.
If you are visiting this amazing place and love markets, you should make it a point to spend a few hours in the evening by going to the Temple Street Market in Hong Kong.
