Photos of Yau Ma Tei

Yau Ma Tei is located in the western part of the Kowloon Peninsula and is closely connected with Mong Kok. Together with Tsim Sha Tsui, it forms the prosperous "Yu Tsim Mong" district in Kowloon. The name of Yau Ma Tei is closely related to the well-known scenic spot Tin Hau Temple. In the past, the land in front of the Tin Hau Temple used to be the place where fishermen were drying the hemp ropes on their boats. Many shops selling tung oil and hemp ropes were opened there, hence the name "Yu Ma Tei". Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei is filled with all kinds of goods and food stalls every night, and the prices are cheap. There are also many historical buildings here, such as Yau Ma Tei Cinema, Yau Ma Tei Police Station, Yau Ma Tei Pumping Station Dormitory (red brick house), etc. , as well as fruit bar, jade market and Yau Ma Tei Recreation Park commonly known as Banyan Tree Head. This is a gourmet paradise. People can freely enter the dessert shop to eat a simple bowl of sago, or buy a bunch of street fish balls and go shopping in the temple street while eating. People can also come to Shanghai Street to visit the International Toy Museum, which houses toys and models that have become popular over the past two centuries. There is also the Bruce Lee Members Club on Nathan Road, which is located in a shopping mall and attracts Bruce Lee fans everywhere. You can also go to Kubrick Coffee Shop on Public Square Street, Yau Ma Tei, which is a combination of coffee shop and bookstore. It is located next to the Broadway Movie Center. The green plants at the entrance, hanging potted plants and light bulbs make this coffee bookstore a beautiful place. A mini garden that makes people linger.
