A unique Central Market to visit in Hong Kong

New feature of Central Market Hong Kong is unique. The market is not only for selling goods, but turns into a tourist destination as you can find “mini museum” displaying different collections of interesting items. The market also offers some dining place, and various choices of street foods. Take your time at the three-storey floor of the market to explore unique displays and dining offers. #unique #uniquemarket #attraction #urban #foodstreets

The Revitalised Central Market

Central Market was the first wet market with a Bauhaus structure in the city in 1938. After years of disuse, the market was after a major renovation led by Urban Renewal Authority, which retained some original architectural structures in 2017. After four long years, Hong Kong's Grade 3 historically listed building Central Market has finally opened the doors to the public with a new look, featuring an eclectic mix of shops, food stalls, specialty restaurants, event spaces and more. It is located at 93 Queen's Road Central and 80 Des Voeux Road, interconnected between Queen Victoria Street and Jubilee Street. It is around 4 minutes 350 meters walk from Central station and is open daily from 1000-2200.

Central Market - lots to see and eat

After a total face-lift, Central Market is the place to be in the heart of Central. On the second floor which was conveniently connected with footbridges to the mid-level escalator and IFC, there were lots of retail spaces, a big sustainable shop Slowood, florists, accessories etc alongside with food stalls perfect for grabbing something to go. On the first floor there are even more retail to check out, art exhibitions to see and some dine-in options and cafes. The ground floor is bustling with hot food options where you can order food court style, as well as a market style restaurant with lots of meat options - or you can also buy to cook at home as there is a large range of deli, cheese, salad or veggies etc. You can also try artisan local beers here!

Revitalized Central Market Targeted Young Consumers

Central Market has a long history in Hong Kong since it’s first version opened for business in 1842. It used to be a wet market where locals buy fresh ingredients for their own meals or businesses. Now, however, after the revitalization project in 2021, there seems to be no trace of raw vegetables or meats had ever been put at any corner of the building. Once you enter Central Market, it felt more like a shopping mall with lots of local young entrepreneurs set up booths to promote their products, and with more unique brands of food and drinks that I don’t see in any other places. The price is a bit on the higher side which I believe because they target young people who prefer quality and good vibes. The old structure is still being kept at the market, with the grand stair cases and old Chinese signs on the wall. The market is clean, fully air conditioned, neat and modern. It is definitely a pleasant experience to go to this market. #market

Looking for incense only at SLOWOOD? A comprehensive guide to incense spots in Hong Kong

Many tourists who visit Hong Kong head to SLOWOOD in Central Market to buy incense, but there are also several lesser-known local spots that I, a Hong Kong expat of 6 years, would recommend. These are imprinted in my mind as a map! 1⃣️ Causeway Bay Matsumoto Kiyoshi A famous Japanese drugstore with many branches in Hong Kong, but the Causeway Bay store is special because right at the entrance, there is a space dedicated to Kyoto's Kungyokudo incense sticks, which are shipped directly from Japan. They have a wide variety, including the famous Happy Fragrance, which contains scents like perfume lemon, lavender, jasmine, nanmu, lotus, bamboo, and more. They also have the small Hanga incense sticks, with designs like goldfish, pine, and cherry blossoms. Plus, there are aromatic mint lip balms with flavors like yuzu, rose, and honey. 📍 Address: Shop G-3, Hang Lung Centre, 2-20 Paterson Street, Causeway Bay, right next to H&M 2⃣️ SL...OWOOD The well-known SL...OWOOD has one store each in Central and Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island. Although Sai Ying Pun is the original store, the Central shop is closer to attractions like Tai Kwun and offers a wider selection of incense. You can also buy individual sticks and choose from various incense holders, which is great for those who have trouble making decisions. 📍 Address: Shops 231-233, Central Market, 80 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong 3⃣️ Central DONKI Located just across the street from SLOWOOD in Central Market, at the starting point of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator. The fragrance area on the ground floor sells basic Japanese incense sticks, which are usually only noticed by residents who frequent DONKI in Mid-Levels Central! Even if it's just 'supermarket goods,' there are different scents like plum, green tea, pomegranate, and rose, surely one will resonate with your daily home life. In fact, DONKI is a great place to shop, not just for incense but also for various Japanese snacks. 📍 Address: 100 Queen's Road Central 4⃣️ Kapok Kapok is a well-known select shop from France, gathering many European fragrance brands and niche independent scents, as well as trendy clothing. Their most famous location is the Green Room in K11 Musea, Tsim Sha Tsui, where the unforgettable French handmade home decor brand Astier de Villatte stands out. Each unique white porcelain ceramic piece combined with different scented incense sticks offers a sensory experience that is a unique choice for those with distinctive taste. 📍 Address: Shop 102, K11 Musea, Tsim Sha Tsui 5⃣️ dESK stationery and more Last but not least, the heavy-hitter recommendation is dESK! Those in the know are definitely local citywalk experts! This Japanese stationery and miscellaneous goods store is located in the same building as the Hong Kong Italian Hotel residential complex in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. dESK offers a variety of Japanese stationery brands, and incense is one of them. In addition to Kungyokudo, you can also find the popular Hibi portable incense, Incense Kitchen's Uji matcha incense, and Yamadamatsu's incense series, among other unique brands. 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, 10-12 Chatham Court, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong 🕙 Business Hours: Monday to Friday 12-16, Saturdays irregular special opening hours: 13:00-18:30

【Central Market Lunch】Surprise Theme Exhibition.

I went to Central Market for lunch this time and was greeted with a surprise, as the exhibition area had switched to a new theme. There were stalls featuring iconic Hong Kong fish stalls, with such high realism that I couldn't help but take a closer look to confirm that the fish weren't actually fresh. There were also art pieces themed around bamboo scaffolding constructions! There was even a space for children to draw and release their energy! Truly a great spot for family activities.

Revitalization of the Central Market architecture in Hong Kong

Revitalization of the Central Market architecture in Hong Kong The Central Market is an ancient building located on Des Voeux Road Central It is listed as a Grade III historic building and is one of the oldest vegetable markets in Hong Kong.

Central, Hong Kong | A classic route that never gets boring even after 100 visits

It's been a long time since I last visited Hong Kong. This time, revisiting the old place, I found that it has undergone many revitalizations, adding a fresh feeling +1. For example, the Central Market I walked through today is considered one of the oldest markets in Hong Kong. A long, long time ago, it was indeed a market, but not long ago it was a shopping corridor (?), now after revitalization, it seems like a mall with a bit of a cultural and creative park flavor (?), anyway, it's more petty bourgeoisie and also very good to stroll around. On this classic route that I would never get bored with even after 100 visits, I would definitely not miss the Mid-Levels Escalator, but because of the New Year, there were really a lot of people today. I had to finish hastily and happily went to Lan Fong Yuen for afternoon tea~ The silk stocking milk tea is still so delicious.
