As Hong Kong ditches mandatory quarantine, vibrant street markets like Tung Choi Street are slowly waking up. Mr. Chan, a stall vendor who once closed late due to bustling tourist traffic, now finds the streets empty and quiet after the pandemic's toll. The city’s efforts to attract visitors with waived quarantine requirements and free air tickets hint at better days ahead for its local businesses. With May weather in Hong Kong hovering around +25°C, it’s a perfect time to explore revived neighborhoods and support local vendors like Mr. Chan this spring.
