You will see the elderlies carry their beloved birdies in intricate cages.  • We’ll head on over Fa Yuen Street – a popular non-touristy local street market where vendors sell bargain-priced clothes, bags, accessories and other household items. If you’re not up for bargaining, it’s still tonnes of fun to experience the atmosphere of the market. • Near the Fa Yuen Street market is the Gold Fish market – with shops devoted to the raising of various kinds of gold fish, from the weird looked gold fish to the colourful tropical species, you will also impress the saltwater aquarium setups with coral. While we are by-passing the Gold Fish market, we will stop at two family-run tasting food stalls featuring Hong Kong’s classic food which may include samples of Sweet Tofu dessert (very silky smooth tofu with sweet syrup) and the marvellous fresh baked egg tarts or pineapple buns from the local bakery. • In between our tastings, we will stop by an iconic wet market that offer a blast to the past. • While we are in this bustling corner, our local guide will let you to have a sample tastings of various sorts of skewers and mini egg puffs or some local street snacks that you won’t even know what they are (but they are all safe to try). • Our last stop will be the most popular open air market – Ladies Market. It offers products and souvenirs for everybody nowadays from T-shirts, watches, clocks, handbags, DVD, I Pod/I phone covers etc.  Some stalls don’t have products but only catalogue of luxury brands of handbags or watches but please be aware that these are fake watches and handbags and because it’s illegal selling, so they cannot put their watches or handbags there • After your tour is finished, our tour guide will keep you accompanied and return to your hotel.
