Western Market

Description:

• This 1906 building, with its red brick walls and large granite arch over the main entrance, certainly stands out from the surrounding office buildings. Originally a fresh produce market, the renovated and revitalised Western Market reopened in 1991 as a market place for stores selling traditional Chinese handicrafts and souvenirs. On the first floor there are also 16 fabric shops, selling anything from sombre suit fabrics to gaudy silks. The top floor houses a Chinese restaurant.
