Tips and travel guide to all sorts of Hong Kong Fruit Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yau Ma Tei\nWholesale Fruit Market is a real paradise in Hong Kong where you can find a\nwide variety of fruits, including fine and rare fruits. The premier focus is on\nwholesale, even though in front of the market there are many shops open to the\ngeneral public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovering Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yau Ma Tei\nfruit market was constructed and opened in 1913. Government Vegetables Market\nwas the initial name. While at first only fruit and vegetables were sold in the\nmarket, in the 1930s also fish traders settled in the market, they also\nprovided poultry, rice, and other food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yau Ma Tei\nFruit Market specialized solely in fruit after the vegetables and fishmongers\nrelocated to the newly established Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Vegetable Market\nand Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Fish Market in Cheung Sha Wan’s neighboring area\nin the mid-1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present,\nthe upper rooms are never utilized as living spaces but as storage rooms and\nsanitary facilities. The stands are made of stones. Most of the hallways are\nalso covered or lined with arcades architecturally attractive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What fruits can you get from there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mangosteen\nis said to be the \u201cQueen of Fruits\u201d in the world’s three great fruits. There\nare lots of tropical fruits, a fruit called Hairy or Rambutan and Lemb which\ncalled Rose Apple. There are such long and narrow grapes and durian whose smell\nis intense. It is astonishing to find triangular and cubic watermelons. The\nJapanese giant white peaches are amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other\ncommon fruits are easy to find here such as strawberries, melons, apples,\npeaches, grapes, pears, large mango, small mango, mandarin orange, and dragon\nfruit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening hours and shopping tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The market\nis open all day but it is best to go early in the morning to get the freshest products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring cash\nbecause some merchants only accept cash payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will\nfind many shops and boxes on the sides. Some traders speak English well and\nhave great experience in selling fruits and knowledgeable in their varieties. If\nyou discover differences between rates, it will be fantastic if you have a\nCantonese-speaking friend to assist you with bargaining.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The differences between wholesale fruit market and supermarket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wholesalers\npurchase huge amounts of merchandise and sell them to retailers. The wholesaler\nhas at least one stockroom to store the fruits, and trucks to convey requests\nmade by stores. Supermarkets are smaller and more limited than in wholesale\nmarkets. But you can find goods at better prices in wholesale markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
