We love wandering through the Flower Market, but if you’re after something specific or it’s your first time visiting, it can be quite a maze to navigate your way around. Whether you’re looking to pick up some new house plants, need fresh flowers to put together a nice bouquet, or want to buy some pots and vases, we’ve put together this handy point-to-point guide through the Hong Kong Flower Market – starting at Prince Edward and ending in Mong Kok – highlighting some of our favourite shops along the way!
Editor’s Note: As you may have heard, the Flower Market is set for a partial revamp as part of a larger Hong Kong renewal project, which will include 33 ground-floor shops on Sai Yee Street. Stay tuned for updates!

Hong Kong Flower Market Opening Hours
The Hong Kong Flower Market is open seven days a week, including public holidays (however, you can expect shops to be closed on at least the first day of Chinese New Year). Opening hours vary but the majority of shops open from 9:30am and close around 7pm.
Sassy Tip: For the best picks and freshest blooms, aim to get to the market as early as possible, however if you’re looking for a bargain, come around closing time when some vendors lower their prices to clear out their stock.
How To Get To The Hong Kong Flower Market: Starting Point From Prince Edward
You may hear people refer to the area as the Mong Kok Flower Market, but it is more specifically located on Flower Market Road in Prince Edward and also includes its neighbouring roads. The market is accessible from Mong Kok MTR Station, Exit C (from there take the footbridge to Sai Yee Street and follow the signs), but we like to start from Prince Edward MTR Station, Exit B1.
From Exit B1, take a left and walk past the Mong Kok Police Station. Cross the street and you’ll start seeing some flower shops from the corner of Tung Choi Street and Prince Edward Road West.
