The area was named for the abundance of <strong>ferns<\/strong> (known as <em>mong chou<\/em> (\u8292\u8349) in Cantonese) and the shape of its <strong>sharp coast<\/strong> before land reclamation. As the colonial government redeveloped most of Kowloon in the mid-1900s, many neighbourhoods acquired new names. Some stuck, some didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Prince Edward and Austin remained, with their Cantonese names being phonetic translations of their English names. On the other hand, Mong Kok was able to retain its indigenous name after a brief stint of being known as <strong>Argyle<\/strong>. As urban development gradually removed greenery in the area, authorities opted to change \u201cmong\u201d in Mong Tsui Kok to its homonym, \u201cwong\u201d (\u65fa), while keeping its English name the same. Today, Mong Kok means \u201c<strong>bustling corner<\/strong>\u201d, which is an apt alias since it\u2019s indeed always filled with hordes of people!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Mong_Kok\"><\/span>How to get to Mong Kok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_233581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-233581\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-233581 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/mong-kok-guide-how-to-get-there-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"mtr station\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/mong-kok-guide-how-to-get-there-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/mong-kok-guide-how-to-get-there-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/mong-kok-guide-how-to-get-there.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-233581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: jacckeii via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As one of the busiest areas in Hong Kong, there are many ways to get to Mong Kok via public transport. The neighbourhood is conveniently connected to the MTR by the <strong>Tsuen Wan Line<\/strong>. If you\u2019re coming from Central, hop on the train towards Tsuen Wan and simply get off at <strong>Mong Kok Station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Various bus routes also run between Mong Kok and the rest of the city. If you\u2019re coming from Island East, <strong>Bus 118<\/strong> is your best bet, and from Island West, <strong>Bus 971<\/strong>. If you\u2019re coming from East Kowloon, <strong>Bus 98C<\/strong> has proven to be faster than the MTR without traffic!<\/p>\n<p>For more accurate information tailored to your trip, consider giving the MTR app, KMB app, or <a href=\"https:\/\/citymapper.com\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City Mapper<\/a> a go.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Mong_Kok_Best_restaurants_cafes_and_bars\"><\/span>Where to eat in Mong Kok: Best restaurants, cafes, and bars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_For_four-legged_patrons_Poach\"><\/span>1.

Originally named <strong>Station Street<\/strong> for its intersection with Yau Ma Tei Police Station, it was renamed Shanghai Street in the 1900s when the colonial government began naming streets in Kowloon after the major ports that were trading with Hong Kong. Even until today, Shanghai Street is characterised by Guangdong-style <em>tong lau<\/em> and stands out in parallel to its neighbour, Nathan Road, where Western architecture and newer buildings dominate.<\/p>\n<p>From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Shanghai Street was a trading hub for Chinese goods and services. Shops included <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/buy-cheongsams-or-qipao-in-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">qipao tailors<\/a>, feng shui <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/fortune-telling-in-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fortune tellers<\/a>, and pawn shops. Nowadays, Shanghai Street houses a mixture of residential tong lau, old shops, and contemporary lifestyle stores, introduced alongside a revitalisation project: <a href=\"https:\/\/618.ura-vb.org.hk\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">618 Shanghai Street<\/a>.
