The Wanchai Market consists of several places. From 1937 to 2008, the Old Market Building at 267 Queen's Road East, which is now a Grade III Historic Building in Hong Kong held a regular indoor wet market.
A new market building called the Zenith was constructed just across the street and assumed the old wet market in 2008. This is a traditional setup with multiple floors and an organised indoor wet market setup. Basically, you can find food market buildings like this in all districts throughout the city. Vendors don't mind you taking pictures of their food and produce.
Perhaps most interesting however, the open-air street market located outside the Wanchai Market building and around the intersection of Cross and Tai Yuen Streets as well as along Wan Chai Road. Here you find one of the largest and busiest outdoor markets in Hong Kong Island.
You will find sections dealing in clothings, stationary, holiday decorations as well as an entire street lined with toy shops and stalls selling cheap toys. Another area is a wet market, just like what you see in the Wanchai Market building with stalls and shops dealing meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, sundries as well as cooked foods and some casual eateries.
The Wanchai Markets is a buzzing scene. It can be spectacularly crowded here on weekends, midweek visits not so bad but there just seems to always be quite a few people doing their shopping in these market streets. It is a photogenic area as well, worth a few snaps from your camera.
