Formerly one of Hong Kong’s first wet markets, Central Market is a Grade III historic building that has been revitalised into a ‘Playground for All’ by offering dining outlets, retail stores and cultural experiences that connect visitors to the neighbourhood’s history, tradition and contemporary culture. This unique blend of old and new can also be seen throughout the market, with more than 500 red lamp shades – a classic symbol of local wet markets – hanging from the ceiling at the ground floor entrance, and original elements like the red brick walls and hanging clock at the grand staircase.
