Markets in Hong Kong

We found two of the most crowded, narrow, pedestrian streets in Hong Kong on the island. There was only room for one person to pass at a time between all the vendor booths of clothing and fabric. If we stopped walking we created a traffic jam though. And I don't know how the vendors got their wares loaded and unloaded each evening! Every shopping street had a different kind of theme. We found the Jade market, the antiques market, the clothing market, the watch market... everything has a theme. My coworker told me this morning about the 'fake market' here in Guangzhou where she bought a knockoff coach wallet.
Here we have a fruit market street. Directly across from it was a flower market.
And then on a street corner a few streets away were the more local shops. I believe these two shops were selling ginseng roots of all shapes, sizes and varieties (are there varieties??) and dried seafood of all types, respectively. I don't know if the seafood is a delicacy or used for medicinal purposes.
