Yaumatei Fruit Market 油麻地果欄

Yaumatei Fruit Market, founded in 1913, is in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and is bounded by Waterloo Road, Ferry Street, Shek Lung Street and Reclamation Street. 

There are still several blocks of one or two storey brick and stone buildings.

The closest MTR (Metro) Station is Yaumatei (Exit C or B2).

Yaumatei Fruit Market is in fact the largest fruit wholesale market in Hong Kong.

Pre-World War II signboards can be found on the outer walls of the buildings.

The busiest hours are 4 to 6 o'clock in the morning.

Lorries and carts deliver boxes of fruit in and out of the market.

Brick and stone buildings are still kept in good condition. It is a record of history in Hong Kong.

This shop has been operating for a long time.

Please pay attention to the yellowed signage, hanging fan, light bulb cover and the gate.

This wholesaler is a specialty of Japanese fruits, like water-melon, peach and strawberry.

This is a supplier of apple from Japan.

Fruits are imported from countries all over the world.

Large fruit traders are mainly located on both sides of Waterloo Road in Yaumatei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Fruits are normally displayed in such a way, shortening the time of inspection.

This is the pear from South Africa.

Loquat fruit is unexpectedly displayed in this way.

A cooked food server is needed. Delivery service is available.
