Central Market 中環街市 is finally opened after it ceased operation for 18 YEARS!
It is a pity to see that this Grade III historic building no longer looks like the very chaotic local fresh market we all once know. After years of revitalisation, costing HKD$500 million 五億 (USD$64.1 million) 😮 , it has become a culture and shopping hub with cafes and small shops.

The Central Market 中環街市 was built in 1939 in Bauhaus style. During the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong between 1941 to 1945, its Chinese name was changed to 中央(middle) 街市 and kept until 1993. The Market stopped operation since 2003 until the government announced plan to revitalise the Market in 2009. After 18 years…. the Market is open to the public again!
