How it's used

While the concept of a night market is common in many parts of Asia, in Hong Kong, the term is most strongly associated with specific tourist-heavy spots like Temple Street. Locals often use the verb 行 to describe visiting these places, as the activity is primarily about walking around and browsing rather than just shopping. It carries a casual, lively connotation of late-night socialising and street food culture.
