Yau Ma Tei - Part 1 - Slightly less well-known little brother of the famous Mong Kok...

Yau Ma Tei, it may not be a very popular among tourists, but it's only minutes away from the famous Mong Kok. This is mainly an area mixed of residential and retail. There are still quite a few hidden treasures in the area, enough treasures for me to split this into separate parts.

The Yau Ma Tei fruit market (pictures to the left and above), this is a century old building, and still a working market.  Many wholesalers still operate in the market, and the busiest time and 4 to 6 am in the morning,

Just right next to the fruit market, it is the Yau Ma Tei theater, it was once the largest theater and the only remaining Pre-World War II theater in Kowloon.  Right around the corner down the street, there is a Red Brick Building, literally, was an engineer's office of the only remaining building of  the former pumping station, which was built in 1895.  It is the oldest pumping station in Hong Kong.  Now is being used as an administration building and an exhibit in conjunction along with the Yau Ma Tei theater.
