Enjoying the Street Markets of New Territories West
In the bustling alleyways, the lively calls of vendors and the rhythmic chopping of meat on wooden boards fill the air. Neatly arranged green vegetables and fresh, splashing red fish greet customers. These scenes are familiar in the market, where both young and old generations visit to purchase their necessities. However, today's markets face challenges, including competition from supermarkets and the impact of the renovations of Link REIT, a real estate developer. This book explores the markets in the western New Territories. It is also a witness to the precious market atmosphere and the transformation of New Territories villages from farmland to high-rise buildings. Through the stories of different shops, the book captures the human touch and the changes brought about by urban development in the market.
