Finding Beauty in the Markets of the Pearl River Delta

A photo tour of some of Hong Kong and Shenzhen’s most beautiful and interesting markets.

Fa Yuen Street Market, indoor farmers market, each floor is organized by a type of food.

South East Asia is known for hosting some of the best markets in the world. From the night markets, where you can snack on street food while shopping around, to the farmers markets, where you can pick out ingredients for the night’s meal, Asian markets will amaze you with their vast variety. Additionally, many markets specialize in one type of good, and it is amazing to observe the competition amongst vendors whose goods are nearly the same in almost every way.

Throughout this article I will share photos I have taken in markets in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (Including Shenzhen), to give a glimpse into the remarkable beauty of these markets and the people who bring them alive.

Hong Kong’s markets are more than just food and inanimate goods!
