Langham Place 38th floor looking north

Langham Place Shopping, ride the long escalators. 旺角朗豪坊购物商场朗豪坊（Langham Place）位于中国香港旺角砵兰街，于2004年落成，是该区的著名地标建筑。朗豪坊属于三合一大型发展项目，分别由购物商场——朗豪坊购物商场、酒店——朗豪酒店以及办公室大楼——朗豪坊办公大楼组成。朗豪坊计划的三个项目有互惠互补的特点，大型商场设有大量商店、食肆及娱乐设施，高级写字楼和五星级酒店。朗豪坊一处本来是一片达180万平方呎的旧住宅用地，后来由市区重建局及鹰君集团合作，经过十年时间的规划及重建，终于办公室大楼及酒店率先在2004年第三季启用，同年10月，商场部分亦开始营运。朗豪坊购物商场 The Mall）楼高15层。商场最大特色是连接4A字楼与8字楼的“通天电梯”，该扶手电梯可算是香港最长的商场扶手电梯之一。

西洋菜南街 /旺角弥敦道弥敦道（Nathan Road）位于香港九龙，连接旺角与尖沙咀两大主要商业区，为香港最著名的道路之一，也是九龙的第一条道路，以第13任港督弥敦爵士命名。道路南北走向，南起梳士巴利道，北接长沙湾道及大埔道，经过佐敦及油麻地一带，是九龙油尖旺区的骨干道路，全长3.6公里。港铁观塘线及荃湾线太子站至尖沙咀站段均通过此路地下。弥敦道连接大埔道的九龙段，由南至北组成九龙半岛的中轴线。
由于弥敦道一带是人流密集的地区，该处由早到晚都是车水马龙、人来人往，但也经常发生交通意外，因此香港政府除了设立交通黑点警告牌，提醒途人及驾驶者注意交通安全外，亦在沿路兴建行人隧道，如旺角豉油街跨越弥敦道的地底隧道。弥敦道是九龙区最多巴士路线驶经的道路之一。

旺角女人街 10-12-20 冷冷清清女人街，最著名的是街道中心的合法摊档，小贩通常用铁枝架起蓝白帆布，然后在小贩车上摆卖各色各样的货品，小贩一摊接一摊，布满整整一条长街。女人街，是指通菜街的南段，（北段即金鱼街），位于旺角的中心地带后方，全长约一公里。因为早年以销售女性用品为主，同时也聚集了许多大批女性顾客。现在女人街已成为其中一条香港最有名的购物街道，是到香港旅游的必选热点。
这些小贩仍以女性顾客为主要对象，小贩们卖的女士用品可谓五花八门，流行时装、手袋、时尚饰物、鞋帽、丝袜、睡衣内裤、比基尼泳装以及假发……五光十色，包罗万象，全都价廉物美，另外也有为了吸引游客而设的纪念品如T恤、仿古玩等。

7.21元朗有大批白衣人以「保家衛村」為由，無差別襲擊市民，事後在南邊圍持武集結叫囂，引起公憤。一群專業人士近日發起「清算」行動，親自瞰察南邊圍一帶村屋僭建問題，抽出逾300間涉違規村屋，並逐一透過1823熱線向政府投訴；最嚴重個案包括有人在霸佔的政府官地上興建5層高「村屋」。發起人今午在連登討論區公佈所有涉違規資料，呼籲網民集體以電郵促請屋宇署署長跟進。
根據公開的「清算名單」，涉違規村屋遍佈南邊圍及西邊圍，總數達304間，當中131間（43%）的樓層數目超出新界小型屋宇准許的3層，涉及加建樓層，最嚴重的村屋有5層之高；另外亦有13間涉侵佔政府官地，其中6間在涉嫌霸地後，更在上面興建高逾3層的村屋；其餘大部份涉及天台屋、簷篷等僭建。
