Citizens relive memories by visiting Central Market
August 23, 2021
The Standard Excerpt

Citizens rushed into the 82-year-old Central Market as it soft opened this afternoon after three years of revitalization work.

A 76-year-old woman who used to buy food in the market said it used to be in very poor condition and that she was very happy to see it reopen with a nicer look.

Another citizen who lives in the New Territories said he used to pass by the market from time to time. He added that he decided to visit today, knowing the historical building has been conserved.

The revitalized Central Market is no longer a traditional market, but a multipurpose building that houses not only restaurants and retailers, but also exhibitions, performances, open spaces and a special area for startups.

The market retains its facade facing Jubilee Street and Queen Victoria Street, as well as 13 old market stalls that once sold poultry, seafood and vegetables.
