Western Market
西港城
An Edwardian red-brick market building completed in 1906, now a mixed-use space selling fabrics, handicrafts, and food.
Western Market was originally the North Block of the Sheung Wan Market and was built in 1906. It is Hong Kong's oldest surviving market building and a declared monument. Its red-and-white Edwardian facade is highly distinctive. After renovation, the first floor houses fabric merchants relocated from the nearby Cloth Street, which was demolished, along with small shops and restaurants. You can take a tram to the Sheung Wan (Western Market) terminus. Nearby, along Wing Lok Street and Des Voeux Road West, is a dried seafood street that is worth a stroll.
