Bridges Street Market, Market hall in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
Bridges Street Market is a building with Bauhaus design elements in the Central and Western District featuring two floors of retail spaces. The structure includes 26 ground floor stalls and 33 first floor units for commerce.
The building was constructed in 1953 on the site of the American Congregational Mission Preaching House, a former religious center. This transformation marked the shift from a spiritual gathering place to a commercial hub.
The market combines traditional shopping customs with modern retail, showing how residents source fresh produce and local goods in their daily lives. The rhythm of buying and selling here reflects how the neighborhood sustains itself through everyday commerce.
The market sits at the intersection of Bridges Street and Shing Wong Street, making it easy to locate. The two-floor layout is straightforward to navigate, and arriving early offers the best selection of goods.
Two overhead pedestrian bridges connect the first floor to Wing Lee Street, creating an unusual multi-level walking network for the market. These covered passages guided foot traffic through different commercial areas in a way uncommon for traditional markets.
