Fodor's Expert Review Kansu Street Jade Market
Yau Ma Tei
Jewelry & Watches
Jade in every imaginable shade of green, from the milkiest apple tone to the richest emerald, fills the stalls of this Kowloon market. If you know your stuff and haggle insistently, you can get fabulous bargains. Otherwise, stick to cheap trinkets. Some of the so-called "jade" sold here is actually aventurine, bowenite, soapstone, serpentine, or Australian jade—all inferior to the real thing.
