Searching for something even more valuable than Gold in Yau Ma Tei’s Jade Market in Jordan, Kowloon.
In Chinese culture, Jade is more valuable than gold. It symbolizes good fortune, a long life, and good health in Chinese culture. Few babies are born without a Jade bracelet waiting for them. I was born in Hong Kong, but don’t recall being given a Jade bracelet…I’ll have to look into this! At the Jade Market you can find everything from jade pendants, crosses, necklaces, earrings, rings, beauty tools (thing trending Jade rollers!) and more. As always remember to bargain starting at 50% of the price that they offer you. If you are looking for quality, this is not the place where you can be 100% sure to find the highest of quality. But it does have a large variety of options and price ranges to choose from.

When looking for good quality, pay attention to the following features:
If you’re looking for a truly unique piece of Jade, you can work with the merchant to pick up a good-luck charm based on the year you were born. Based on the Chinese almanac, one particular animal will be chosen for you to wear and should be changed each year according to your fortune. And if it breaks? Remember to smile. It just means your Jade amulet deflected bad luck that was coming your way.
