Saw this in Lonely Planet and on the tourist brochures, so I thought I would go and have a look following catching a tram from Central - the Market was not what I was expecting - I think the name is a little misleading. A few souvenir type stores and a place to eat - I did not bother checking... More

The Western Market is itself not upto much, except that it is an interesting period building. To that end, it's fairly impressive. Don't miss the 'Western Market' plaque embedded on the pavement bang outside the entrance door. Inside, there is an interesting shop selling models of HK public transport, like Matchbox models of trams, double decker buses etc. Apart from... More

In our opinion, while appearing attractive from the outside, the Western Market fails to deliver in what it... More

I was quite disappointed when arrived to the Western Market, which I thought it has something interesting inside, especially antiques. It is just old three-floor building. On the top floor is a banquet room where the only people who have been invited can be accessed. For wholly, I feel the place is not very interesting unless you want to see... More
