Luen Wo Market – Free Public Tour
We’ve invited friendly volunteer guides to take you on a tour of the Grade 3 historic building, Luen Wo Market and introduce visitors to its restaurants, retail, experiential workshops, exhibitions, guided tours, bazaar, and program elements.
The guided tours will focus on the transformation of Luen Wo Market through conservation and revitalization, and the local community, stories, and ecosystem that have been passed down through the ages. We hope visitors will gain an understanding of Luen Wo Market’s history, social significance, and restoration process; learn about the building’s architectural features, the various elements of the project, and its significance in connecting urban and rural areas.
We’ll share how Luen Wo Market has transformed into a vibrant market, a new New Territories attraction, and a vibrant market that “beyond one market”!
