Rows upon rows, thousands of ornate fish primarily goldfish hung along the line of shops on the Goldfish Street is truly a magnificent spectacle. Taking a stroll through the Goldfish Market will allow you to take a glimpse of rare and exotic fish in any kind you can imagine. The best time to step into the market is in the evening, when it's dark outside the market lights up creating an enchanting atmosphere of a mystic aquarium. A special prominence is given to Goldfish in the market because Hong Kongers believe these fish are auspicious and will bring good luck and prosperity to one's home. Most fish are already placed in plastic bags ready to be sold to customers. In addition to the great varieties of fish available you also find other exotic pets including turtles, snakes, spiders, lizards and even the more mundane dogs and cats to be sold here.
