Hi everyone, today I would like to introduce one of the special heritage--- Western Market to you. Can you imagine that this magnificent building actually is the market in the past? Let me tell you the history about Western Market . Actually Western Market is not a market at first , it is the site of harbour office . After that the harbour office move to a reclamation area in Central District for a larger space to cope with increasing workload. Then, it becomes the market until the new building come into service in 1989. In 1990, it declares a monument and redeveloped by the Land Development Corporation in 1991.
Today’s Western Market
The market now houses shops formerly located in old alleys in the heart of Central , which sold all manner of cloth. The building is also home to traditional handicraft stalls and a number of cafe. The top floor is home to Grand Stage shere dance lovers can rendezvous and enjoy a romantic dinner
After visiting the Western Market, I think I am back to the past of Hong Kong because of the Edwardian-style building. This architecture can represent the Hong Kong Colonial times.
