In Hong Kong, which is highly urbanized,

some traditional street markets are often moved from

the street to the building and embedded in the shopping mall.

The [Cheung Sha Wan Lige mall] located at

exit A1 of the MTR Cheung Sha Wan Station is such an indoor market.

The environment is cleaner and shopping is more convenient.

 Its modern industrial style design has once become a new landmark of Sham Shui Po.

This [Cheung Sha Wan Lige mall] was renovated in eight months.

The whole building adopts industrial style design,

just like a characteristic container house.

It looks like it is made up of multiple containers.

When entering the room, the complete container

unit is still preserved, forming a long corridor.

After passing through them, you can reach the entrance of the market.

The outer layer of the shopping mall is a circle of boutiques,

and the new indoor market is located on the inner layer.

When you arrive at the gate of Lige shopping mall,

you will find that the street market is themed with street graffiti art.

The dirty and disorderly market in the impression has disappeared,

replaced by a neat, clean and comfortable container street.

 The fresh fresh area has no sense of conflict against the industrial wind,

but has added a lot of vitality to the wharf.

Go on inside and come to the fruit and vegetable area.

A variety of vegetables and fruits are displayed on the uniformly planned bar.

The market is equipped with air conditioners,

which can keep the temperature fresh.

When you look up, you can see the containers with interesting graffiti,

which makes you feel the unrestrained spirit of the street even indoors.

In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables,

the container berths set up against the wall are

usually cooked food and non-staple food shops,

which provide more space for independent production,

and there are more places for storing goods,

which are only displayed at open windows when they need to be sold.

After a comprehensive activation and renovation, the Ritz Plaza has been transformed.

There are not only traditional market food stalls,

but also other supermarkets, restaurants, snack streets and other merchants,

including sushi, chezai noodles, table drinks, Chinese food outlets, etc.,

which not only retain small shops with community feelings,

but also introduce various characteristic merchants,

taking into account the needs of the "old, Chinese and young" people.

In order to provide a resting place and dining area,

there is also a food Square in the middle of the mall,

where simple tables and chairs are gathered in an area surrounded by food shops.

 Green plants are added to the space to make the environment more comfortable.
