Western Market is one of the oldest structures in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The current structure, built in 1906, was the North Block of the original Western Market. It is the oldest surviving market building in the city.[1] The former South Block was demolished in 1981 and its site is now occupied by the Sheung Wan Complex.[2]
