Tung Choi Street is Hong Kong's street shopping center. Not far from the Ladies Market in the north lies a treasure island that's uniquely Chinese, the Goldfish Market. This fascinating market is a great place for families to visit. Bags after bags of live goldfish in different sizes and colors can intrigue even the naughtiest kids. These are sold as pets, as the Chinese consider gold fish a sign of good luck and some of the rarer species in the market can fetch great prices. Besides the kaleidoscope-like display of eye-popped goldfish, the market also sells other small pets including turtles, rabbit and hamsters.
