Unfortunately, much of Hong Kong's historic architecture has been demolished to make way for sleeker, more modern structures. That's part of the reason why Western Market stands out – it's located in a four-story brick Edwardian built in 1906, a real contrast to surrounding skyscrapers. The first floor, known as "cloth alley", is where you'll find a plethora of vendors offering an array of fabrics, from fine silks to inexpensive canvas. You'll also find wonderful handmade Chinese crafts. Shrewd shoppers can walk away with some real bargains here. Upstairs is the Treasure Inn Seafood Restaurant, a casual spot for a good midday meal.
