Mongkok - The Busiest Place on the Planet.
Hong Kong is heavily populated, with 6 million crammed into a city that mostly sits on a piece of real estate no bigger than Manhattan. Mongkok is not only Hong Kong’s most populated area, but I presumed in the world’s. According to the Guinness Book of Records Mongkok is the most densely populated place on the planet, squeezing in over 130,000 people per km2.
Mongkok means busy corner in Cantonese and Mongkok is just that. Once the headquarters for the notorious Hong Kong Triads, this is now one of Hong Kong’s liveliest districts 24/7, full of shops, street side stalls as well as Hong Kong’s famous Mongkok Ladies Market. Take our tour of Mongkok Ladies Market to get a slice of the real Hong Kong, and many of these "attractions" listed here are really the same - Nathan Road runs through Mongkok, which also is home to other attractions like the ladies market and temple street market. So in general is that this whole area is bustling with activity at all hours, brighten with neon light glowing all night long, lots to see and watch at all times. Every step is a small noodle bar to step into for a bite to eat, or many shop or something to look at. It's a nice area to stroll and just be - after a couple hours, you're exhausted from over stimulation of all your eyes and senses.
Another good thing about Mongkok is the bargain center for anything you want to buy under the sun.
