簡介 | Overview
廟街夜市位於香港九龍油麻地，是香港最具活力的夜市之一，被譽為「平民夜總會」。其歷史可追溯至1887年，因附近的油麻地天后廟而得名，最初分為「廟北街」與「廟南街」。自1920年代起，天后廟前的「榕樹頭」廣場發展為休憩場地，逐漸形成夜市。如今，廟街以其平價商品、街頭美食和濃厚的市井文化吸引遊客，常見於電影與電視劇取景。
Temple Street Night Market, located in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, is one of Hong Kong’s most vibrant night markets, nicknamed the “People’s Nightclub.” Its history dates back to 1887, named after the nearby Tin Hau Temple, originally divided into “Temple North Street” and “Temple South Street.” Since the 1920s, the “Banyan Tree Head” square in front of the temple became a leisure spot, giving rise to the night market. Today, it draws visitors with affordable goods, street food, and grassroots culture, often featured in films and TV dramas.
