Kansu Street Jade Market Review

Kansu Street Jade Market
Outdoor / Flea / Green Markets, Kowloon
Fodor's Review:
Jade in every imaginable shade of green, from the milkiest apple-tone to the richest emerald, fills the stalls of this Kowloon market. If you know your stuff and haggle insistently, you can get fabulous bargains. Otherwise stick to cheap trinkets. Some of the so-called "jade" sold here is actually aventurine, bowenite, soapstone, serpentine, and Australian jade -- all inferior to the real thing. Strings of freshwater pearls also go for a song, although you may have to have them restrung.
