In my community, the market that is the closest to me (and also my most visited) is the Sai Ying Pun Market. In the market, you can find all sorts of people: stall owners who are busy bargaining with buyers, housewives/grandparents/maids who had just finished buying the day’s grocery, or just passerbys who is using the market as a passageway.

The market sell different kinds of foodstuff on different floors. Here is a overview of its floors:

G/F Vegetables
UG/F Seafood, e.g. fishes, squids, frogs
1/F Meat

As mentioned, the market also serves as a passageway. However, did you know that there are 2 distinct passageway systems inside the market?

The following table shows the details of the passageways:

1. From Centre Street to Third Street A pedestrian who want to use this passageway can enter the elevator at Centre Street Market, then cross the bridge that links Sai Ying Pun Market and Centre Street. This let us need not walk up the slope, but rather walk laterally.
2.  From Second Street to Third Street A pedestrian who want to travel from Second Street to Third Street can use the elevators besides the market. This passageway, which consists of 2 elevators, can reduce the effort to get up the slope that is Centre Street.
