Early the next morning, we took the subway (couldn’t have been easier!) to the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, where old men walk their birds and socialize. We bought a bird cage, and set off to explore the flower market. On a weekday there wasn’t much going on here – just a couple of flower stores, but nothing that special.
