Tai Po Fu Shin Street Market
(大埔富善街街市) is a traditional market in Hong Kong, where shops / sellers
are found on both sides of the street. It is an open market and located
at Tai Po Hui (大埔墟).
It had its glorious period, particularly in East New Territories in the
past because it is very close to Old Tai Po Railway Station (舊大埔墟火車站).
The street - Fu Shin Street was named in 1930. The whole length of this
street is 130 meters.
Fu Shin Market is different from those
markets in Government Municipal Services Building (市政大廈). There is no
need to walk along staircase or take escalator before reaching the
preferred stalls. What the citizens need to do is to walk along the
street (Fu Shin Street) on the ground floor, they can see and buy what
they want. It is therefore convenient for citizens of all ages. In the
market, vegetables, meat, dried food and daily grocery are available.
All are sold at very reasonable price.
It is fun to note pig legs are displayed and queue up in such a way.

There is a Man Mo Temple in this street, which will be posted in another record.
For bulk purchase, you may have your own delivery method.
All Chinese soup materials and herbs are pre-packed.
This
Fu Shin Market is welcome by the citizens in Tai Po. But it seems that
seafood are not found and available in the market. If so, citizens have
to buy seafood from stalls at the Tai Po Complex at Heung Sze Wui Street
(鄉事會街市政大廈).
