Mong Kok Flower Market, Flower market in Prince Edward district, Hong Kong.
The Mong Kok Flower Market stretches along Flower Market Road with dozens of shops selling fresh cut flowers, potted plants, gardening supplies, and seasonal decorations. The street is crowded and colorful, with flower displays filling the sidewalk from one side to the other.
The market began operating in the early 1900s as a major distribution point for plants and flowers across Kowloon. Its location was chosen because it was central and accessible, allowing growers and traders to work together efficiently.
During Lunar New Year, locals seek out specific plants and flowers believed to bring prosperity and good luck to their homes. You can see this tradition in action as families spend time choosing their selections carefully.
The market is accessible daily and located near Prince Edward MTR station, making it easy to reach and navigate the area. Mornings tend to be less crowded, so arriving early gives you more space to browse comfortably.
More than fifty specialized shops line the street, each focusing on particular plant varieties such as orchids, bonsai trees, or succulents. Some of these small shops are family businesses that have been growing and selling the same plant types for generations.

Hong Kong connects Eastern and Western cultures across a compact territory. The city spreads over several islands and a section of mainland, with modern towers standing alongside traditional temples and markets. The streetscape shifts between densely built business districts like Central and older residential areas such as Mong Kok, where markets and local restaurants shape daily life. From Victoria Peak, visitors can survey the city's extent across the harbor. The Star Ferry has linked Hong Kong Island with Kowloon for over a century, offering a direct view of the skyline. On Lantau Island, the Tian Tan Buddha rises above the Ngong Ping plateau, accessible by cable car or bus. Throughout the districts, religious sites include Wong Tai Sin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin, while Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill presents a formal Chinese garden layout. Markets such as the Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei and the Ladies Market in Mong Kok draw those seeking local goods and street food. The Hong Kong Museum of History documents the region's development, while Hong Kong Wetland Park offers insight into natural habitats. Coastal areas like Repulse Bay and the fishing village of Tai O on Lantau reveal different aspects of the city beyond the urban centers.
