I have been on a few business trips to Hong Kong over the last 2 years and I always end up staying around the Yau Ma Tei station area. Every night after work I go for a long walk with my Fuji XE-2 exploring the night markets and surrounding areas.

| For the best Neon's check out the busy streets of Mon Kok or walk down to Nathen road
Mon Kok is one of Hong Kong's most congested shopping and residential districts and its a short walk from Yau Ma Teu Station .In Mon Kok the traffic get shut down a few nights a week and the roads get invaded with tourists and shoppers. You also find a lot of interesting street performers entertaining the crowds and hawkers selling knick knacks. If you want to buy gadgets you will get everything under the sun here and at a bargain. I got myself a Fuji 35 mm f1.4 for a steal compared to what I could find on Amazon.
First test shots with my Fuji 35 mm f1.4 , Loving it !
Mong Kok has the highest population density in the world and actually holds the Guiness record to prove it. For photographers this location is golden you and can get some serious street photos , photos of vendors selling on the pavement , street performers in action etc
Where's Waldo?
   
There are a few street markets very close to Mong Kok like the Ladies market, Temple Street market etc . Make sure to check them out as well .Also in the area is the Hong Kong International Hobby and Toy museum , you can find a lot of very rare and expensive scale models on display here.
