MARKET FISH STALL

The market stalls originated in the 1980s when the Municipal Services Building came into being. In the early days, fishermen sold their catch along the streets to make it easier for the residents to buy fish. Since the 1960s and 1970s, the rapid development of Hong Kong's city, the increase in population and the economic changes, the environmental nuisance and street obstruction caused by street hawkers have become more and more serious. The building was developed into a "mixed-use building". In the 1990s, markets in Hong Kong were gradually retrofitted with air-conditioning, further improving their environment. Although the environment around the fish stalls in the markets is wet, it does not affect the people who go to the markets every day, because the markets are more humane than the supermarkets, even if you do not know the stall owners well, you can talk to them and they know what they want to buy.
