Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market
Look beyond the fruit displays at this working Yau Ma Tei market to see pre-war buildings and historic trader names. It suits a brief heritage browse that leaves room for wholesale business.

Founded in 1913, the market once handled vegetables and later fish as well as fruit. After those trades moved elsewhere in 1965, fruit wholesaling became its focus. Low-rise stone and brick buildings and old trader-name carvings give the place historical interest alongside the seasonal produce still being traded.
What to look for

Useful to know
