- FORTUNE TELLERS
There is a long tradition of fortune telling in and around temples, and this has extended now into the Temple Street Night Market were fortune tellers await.
Each fortune teller has a small stall with a table and chair and posters put up explaining his methods. A variety of methods of fortune telling are used including examination of the hands, ears and use of Chinese astrology. Some of the fortune tellers have sufficient English to give a reading to tourists, check with them first before joining a queue! Signs up in English at there stall normally indicate a willingness to do a reading in English.
- CANTONESE OPERA AT TEMPLE STREET
Outside the main Temple Street Night market, but still inside Temple Street but just outside the Tin Hau Temple itself, and around the corner from the fortune tellers, is the Opera Singing area.
Cantonese Opera is a unique singing style with its own musical system which is quite different from other types of music. Here in Temple Street enthusiastic amateur signers congregate to practice and perform. Although they may collect donations they are not really busking but are mostly there to encourage and develop their hobby.
You will see amateurs of all levels of skill, from the quite basic to professional quality. In the past some singers from Temple Street have gone on to have professional careers in Opera and other forms.
Performances can be heard from around 8:30pm until 11:00 most nights, but not including Wednesday as this is Horse Race Day.
Being near the centre of Kowloon, located midway between Jordan and Yau Ma Tei MTR stations, the market is very accessable by public transport. However as this is a night market do be aware that when leaving the market very late at night some forms of transport will be closed.
The last MTR train to leave the nearby Jordan MTR Station is at 00:52am. While normal routes such as 112 stop at 00:30am. However there are night buses such as the N122 which run throughout the night.
