Hongkong Market - Dimapur's vibrant heart!

The Hongkong Market in Dimapur originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, coinciding with increased trade and connectivity between Northeast India and Southeast Asian countries. Initially, the market primarily featured goods brought in through informal trade routes, often from Myanmar and Thailand. The name 'Hongkong Market' became synonymous with imported, affordable goods, even though the products were not always directly from Hong Kong. Over the years, the market has grown significantly, becoming a major economic driver for the region. It has faced challenges related to regulation and the informal nature of some trade practices, but it remains a vital part of Dimapur's commercial landscape, attracting both locals and tourists alike seeking budget-friendly finds.
