Daytime market in Mongkok’s Tung Choi street is called the Ladies Market, but the truth is, it should be called the overpriced market for tourists. This place is filled with tourists that any other market in Hong Kong. Vendors in this market do not allow much bargaining and the market is more aggressive.
