Yung Shue Tau
This is a square located in front of Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei. It is well known as Yung Shue Tau (Banyan Tree Stump) because of the big banyan trees there. In the old days, entertainers gathered in this market commonly known as Poor Man's Nightclub, offering fortune-telling, Cantonese opera singing and storytelling, which attracted large numbers of spectators.
