Mong Kok is Hong Kong's epicenter of style. Locals and tourists alike clamor down double-wide traffic-free walking streets like a stampede of fashionable youth. Comparing this shopping district to New York's Times Square, or Bejing's Wang Fu Jing Da Jie, is like apples and oranges. Friday and Saturday nights are not exclusively reserved for elbow to elbow mingling, and faces blur like headlights on a busy highway all day, and late into the night. High-rise shopping malls packed with specialty shops (none much larger than walk-in closets) can be found in cohabitation with international chains. Even if you're not the shopping type, as I am not, the energy and envrionment of Mong Kok, or hours of potential "people watching", is certainly not to be missed.
