A nice walk in Central and Western District (1)

1. Western Market & Sheung Wan Fong

The Western Market, an
Edwardian-style building originally
housing the waterfront Harbour
Office when built in 1906, later became a food
market before closing in 1988. Two years later,
it was declared a historical monument, renovated and then re-opened
in 1991 with themed shops. Next to it is a compass-like piazza
named Sheung Wan Fong – an ideal spot to orientate to the many
traditional trades and shopping streets in Sheung Wan.
