Graham Street Wet Market, Hong Kong

Graham Street Wet Market, Hong Kong

Graham Street Wet Market is one of Hong Kong's oldest street markets. It has been in operation for about 160 years, though this may be short-lived. Plans to demolish the market are regularly proposed. Though none have been successful, tourists should make sure to visit the Graham Street Wet Market before it's too late.

Don't let the name of the market fool you. Graham Street Market does not solely belong to its namesake street. There are plenty of market stalls on Gage, Peel and Stanley streets. The open-air market stalls line the narrow streets with offerings like fresh fruit, herbs and flowers.

Graham Street Market is an excellent place to stop for lunch. Noodle stands, bakeries and other ready-made street food is available. Those who have access to kitchens may want to buy some fresh meat or seafood. Tourists shop alongside locals at the Graham Street Market, which makes for a memorable and authentic experience.
