Wan Chai Market in Hong Kong
Wish list for next Hong Kong trip,
Wan Chai Market & King Yin Lei (photo, right)
.
......... From June 29, 2004 NYT
the sprawling King Yin Lei Mansion is one of this city's best-known landmarks. It has been the setting for Hollywood classics like "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing," starring William Holden, and "Soldier of Fortune," starring Clark Gable.
Down the hill and around a corner stands the Wan Chai Market, one of two Bauhaus-inspired fresh-food markets known to survive in Asia. Built in the late 1930's, like the mansion, the market has harmoniously curving walls free of ornamentation, and has been a hub of the densely packed Wan Chai neighborhood ever since.
