Very busy place in Hong Kong especially in mid night when all the ship loaded their goods into truck and distribute to this wholesale fruit market. Many stacks of food everywhere on the road makes 3 routes combine into 1. Seems people are getting used to it, car, trolleys and pedestrians are moving slowing and gently. Wholesale prize is difference everyday depends on numbers of stocks, quality and seasonable hot sale. I bought a box with 9 bundles of grapes with HKD$1450 last week, this week is HKD$1350. Maybe due to current situation in Hong Kong. Bargaining is the only skill you needed in this area, the strategy should be target a type of fruit you wanted to buy, ask the prize with condition (such as if I buy few boxes) and walk around with same questions on other shop. Pick a shop you like their attitude and try to do a final bargain like less HKD$100 or HKD$50, then BINGO and walk away with your fruit. We came here today to buy some fruit to share and give to the village’s elders at a night after Mid Autumn Festival which called “Chasing Moon” , we walked for an hour and bought: 4 boxes of Taiwanese grapefruits 1 box of banana 1 box with 9 bundles of grapes 2 boxes of dragon fruits (I didn’t take photo of the fruit, let me supplement later if my friend had them)

The Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market is a Grade II historic building (designated in 2009) that is spread out over several blocks along Reclamation Street and Waterloo Road in Yau Ma Tei. The market was founded in 1913 as a food market. However, over time vegetable and seafood traders have long moved out, making this almost exclusively a fruit market at this time. You can walk along the market small shops and stalls and see a nice range and variety of regional fruit as well as those grown in countries further afield. The market can be rather busy at times but makes for attractive viewing and nice picture taking for those interested in seeing a local food market here in Hong Kong. The market is open from 6am to 8pm daily.

It's worth a stop even if you are just visiting HK. So much fruit to see, an amazing experience if you have never been to a real fruit market. Many different varieties and types of fruit, and the best prices. If you are just visiting and not a wholesaler ( just a retail shopper), it is better to come in non wholesale hours for this market, like late morning or after lunch. The shops and workers have time to talk and show you fruit and answer questions. If you go very early or in the or mid morning, they are focused more on wholesale business. Lots to see, and a fun experience

Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market is nothing to marvel at, but has its historical significance as a colonial government vegetables market built over a century ago in 1913 and was accorded with Grade 2 Historic Buildings in 2009. The vegetables stalls were replaced by fruit wholesalers in 1965 and with some wholesalers going into retail, it is now a popular local spot to pick up cheap fresh fruit. The market is a convenient 5 min walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR and a highlight for me is the shutter art on a couple of the stores facing Waterloo Road.

Very interesting place in HK. This is the only one wholesale market in HK. You can buy the fruits from all over the world 🍎🍏🍉🍌🍒🥝🍈🥥🥒🍅🍇 Fruit arrive HK at night time so as they can send to the restaurants/ hotels for preparation and to be served the next morning. We went there at midnight so as we can buy the freshest fruit. As they only do wholesale during the night time, if you wish to buy fruit during night time, you better visit there with group of friends so as you can share the whole box! Retail is available during daytime.

Updated in June 2022: Various types of durians, they offer some packed durians at half price (around HKD 70-120) at round 17:30. 2023 news:You can get the discounted Japanese strawberries at HK100 for 2 packs! Some of the seasonal fruits have a big discount but better walk through the corridor and compare the prices. The shop will slash the price when you buy the fruits in bulk in the midnight. Better visit this market at 3-4am if you want to pinch pennies.
