Along the way, we’ll visit CHUN YEUNG STREET WET MARKET —a classic local favorite where you can still feel everyday Hong Kong life, just as it’s always been. And here’s the fun part: you can’t believe it until you see it—this wet market sits on a narrow street where the tram actually runs right through!
