Lei Yue Mun Attractions

Lei Yue Mun is one of the few fishing villages to have survived the steady growth and expansion of Hong Kong. Its survival may have been helped by its popularity with the numerous visitors who come here to savor the atmosphere of its market and to eat in its many excellent fish restaurants - though today much of the fish is imported from Australia or New Zealand, since few fish are now caught in the heavily polluted waters around Hong Kong.

Since Lei Yue Mun lies beyond the old Kai Tak airport at the southern tip of Kowloon, beyond the reach of the MTR system and other public transport, it is best to go there by taxi. In some restaurants it is still the practice for the customer to choose the fish himself in the market and bring it to the restaurant to be cooked.
