Welcome to the exhibition of Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market!

Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market was founded in 1913. It was originally named as Government Vegetables Market which sold fruit and vegetables while fish traders joined in the 1930s. In 1965, vegetables and fish stalls moved out and relocated at Cheung Sha Wan. From then on the market has become a specialist fruit wholesaling market.

Conservation of Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market is a controversial issue between government and society. This market had already existed for 105 years in Yau Ma Tei District, this historical significant enhance the architecture, cultural and social value of this place. Although Heritage Office had classified fruit market as the Grade II Historical Building in 2009, government still does not have any conservation planning for the fruit market. In addition of the relocation policy of fruit market is delayed for many years, the future of fruit market still becomes a mystery.

We hope that this digital gallery can illustrate the value of the place and its current dilemma to the public. With more understanding on the viewpoints of different stakeholders, the society can build more solid opinions on the discussion of the market’s future. So do not hesitate to leave your comments and share your digital resources about the Fruit Market to all of us!

歡迎參觀油麻地果欄的網上展覽！


油麻地水果市場(俗稱果欄)成立於1913年。它最初被命名為政府蔬菜市場，銷售水果和蔬菜，而魚商則在30年代加入。 1965年，蔬菜和魚類攤位搬遷至長沙灣。從那時起果欄成為了專門的水果批發市場。


油麻地果欄的保育是一個富有爭議的社會議題。這個市場已經在油尖旺區營運了105年，擁有重要的歷史，文化和社會價值。雖然古跡辦在2009年將果欄列為二級歷史建築，但政府仍未任何保育的計劃。果欄的搬遷計劃一拖再拖，未來仍是未知之數。

我們希望這個網上展覽可以向公眾展示這個地方的價值及當前的困境。通過理解不同持份者的觀點，大眾可以對果欄未來的發展進行更深入的討論。所以歡迎留下您的意見，並和我們分享有關於果欄的電子資源！
