The street market in Sham Shui Po is a hotspot for both locals and tourists.

The [[Apliu Street]] market is well known in Hong Kong for its electronics. The vendors in this open-air street market sell a wide variety of products at reasonable prices, allowing individuals to trade second-hand goods here. Different shops sell a variety of goods including industrial electronics, analogue and digital radio communications equipment, disco effects equipment, crockery, 1940s-era radios, LPs, torches, and audiophile hi-fi amplifiers in various stages of repair. The Hong Kong government promotes [[Apliu Street]] as Hong Kong's answer to [[Akihabara]] (in [[Japan]]).

Golden Computer Centre is one of the major malls selling computer-related equipment (see next section).

The annual Hong Kong computer fair held in the streets of Sham Shui Po attracts a large crowd.

The market on Ki Lung Street is also famous for its fresh food and cheap prices. In the early 1990s, the Hong Kong government rebuilt the market and also added air conditioning.

There are numerous fashionwear wholesalers along Cheung Sha Wan Road. On weekends, some shops allow retail purchases, offering quality clothes at very affordable prices.

Nam Cheong Street and Ki Lung Street are most famous for their [[fabric]] stores, containing cloth, sash, ribbons and buttons.

{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2011}}
Once infamous for [[copyright infringement|counterfeit software]] but today considered one of the cheapest places in Hong Kong to purchase a [[personal computer]], the Golden Shopping Centre is a prominent IT shopping centre.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.scmp.com/magazines/hk-magazine/article/2037970/hong-kongs-counterfeit-goods-market-stopped-thriving-what | title=Hong Kong's Counterfeit Goods Market Stopped Thriving—What Happened? | date=3 June 2016 }}</ref> Products range from complete systems, cell phones, to various peripherals. Unlike purely consumer-oriented IT shopping centres, Golden features several stores specializing in professional and esoteric network equipment.

The Golden Shopping Centre is also known for the number of [[video game]] stores it contains, where people purchase gaming systems, software and accessories at either a slightly discounted price, or in special in-store packages which might include an extra game or extra accessories. Since the halls are extremely narrow, it is often very congested, especially on weekends. The mall has two floors. The upper floor, Golden Computer Centre ({{Zh|t=高登電腦中心|labels=no}}), mainly sells games and gaming [[software]], while the lower floor, Golden Computer Arcade ({{Zh|t=黃金電腦商場|labels=no}}), focuses on the sales of computer-oriented hardware. They were originally fashion markets named "Golden Shopping Centre" and "Golden Shopping Arcade" respectively.

====Influence on Hong Kong's Internet culture====

In the late 1990s, when the [[Internet]] started becoming popular, the shop owners of the Golden Computer Centre launched a website to post the prices of computer hardware and software. Later, a [[Internet forum|forum]] known as [[HKGolden]] was set up on the website, which later became one of the largest Internet forums in Hong Kong.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ir-basilica.com/%E8%A8%AA%E5%95%8F%E6%9E%97%E7%A5%96%E8%88%9C%EF%BC%9A%E3%80%8C%E6%96%B9%E4%B8%88%E3%80%8D%E6%93%81%E6%8A%B1%E8%87%AA%E7%94%B1-%E5%AD%95%E8%82%B2%E9%AB%98%E7%99%BB%E6%96%87%E5%8C%96/|title=訪問林祖舜：「方丈」擁抱自由 孕育高登文化|work=平行時空|date=2016-04-26}}</ref>
