Chapter 33 Hong Kong · Prosperity

Hong Kong Island
Movies that can never be finished, shopping malls that can never be visited, banquets that can never be eaten, and a sense of rhythm that can never be abandoned.This is Hong Kong, not only the bright pearl of China, but also shining brightly in the world. This is Hong Kong. Behind the glitz, there is a night of loneliness.

One place is prosperous, one life is lonely, the lonely previous life has passed away, and in a field of bauhinia flowers, new life rises slowly in the ancient eastern land like the rising sun.

Hong Kong, people always feel a lot of emotion when they mention it.Feelings come from its loneliness, its prosperity, its history, and its humanities.

The water of the Xiangjiang River flowed away with the old dreams, and Hong Kong Island has since become the darling of heaven just like Kowloon and the New Territories.It is a young child lost and found in China, and it is also like a "sea turtle" full of knowledge. Otherwise, how can the bright night amidst the neon become the dual representative of urban rhythm and fashion vane, driving the pace of the whole Asia?
The scenery of Hong Kong Island is notoriously beautiful.The preferred viewing location must be Victoria Peak.Take the cable car, and within a few minutes, you will arrive at the Peak Tower, the terminus of the cable car at the top of the mountain.This is definitely an unforgettable experience. When the cable car goes from the terminus to the observation deck, it unexpectedly encounters Madame Tussauds in London along the way, and then there is a dynamic movie theater.The observation deck is called "Lion Pavilion". From here, overlooking the entire Hong Kong Island, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in different postures.

Hong Kong Island in the daytime is a green Hong Kong Island, stretched out in a sea of ​​blue.Hong Kong Island at night is a charming Hong Kong Island. Whether it is the beauty of Victoria or the tallness of HSBC Bank, it always makes people feel that too many people have condensed their efforts in this bustling area, so it is even more worth cherishing.

Half of the prosperity of Hong Kong Island comes from the cultural atmosphere here.From the story of the Bauhinia flower to the in-depth influence of the Hong Kong Island Eight 90s on the mainland, the frequent appearances of leading figures in action movies and music circles have opened people's horizons and allowed them to better understand this island that bred a unique culture.

For a long time, this place has been hailed as a "shopping paradise", with many duty-free shops and famous brands, which make women salivate.Whether it's Statue Square in Central, Pacific Place in Admiralty, or Great George Street in Causeway Bay, everywhere you go, there are countless high-end buildings and a bustling scene.At the same time, the delicacies in Causeway Bay can also fully ignite people's taste buds. Here, filling the stomach has become a noble enjoyment.

deep water bay

Deep Water Bay is located in the middle of the south coast of Hong Kong's southern district and is a swimming beach.It is located in the northwest of Repulse Bay and east of Nanlang Mountain.There are quite a few high-end residences here.Because of the depth of the water, it was named "Deep Water Bay".

Walking on the streets of Hong Kong, even if you just walk leisurely, you can feel a unique atmosphere.The atmosphere comes from the crowd of Hong Kong Island, from the unique cultural heritage of Hong Kong Island.The nostalgic buildings, the streets full of old Hong Kong flavor, and the striking Victoria Harbor in the morning light add a bit of splendor to this bustling city.

One grain of sand, one world, one flower, one heaven, these words refer to the beautiful Hong Kong Island.

Kowloon District

The southeast, west and three sides are surrounded by Victoria Harbour.Together with Hong Kong Island, it is the most prosperous city center in Hong Kong and an integral part of Hong Kong.

Besides Hong Kong Island, Kowloon also plays an integral role in history.In that dignified place, although it no longer had the color of the past, the bell of history rang leisurely in the prehistoric time.

According to legend, the name "Nine Dragons" originally came from an allusion.In the past, when the Son of Heaven traveled, he could not help but be attracted by the surrounding mountains and rivers when he came to Kowloon.Looking from a distance, I saw 8 peaks surrounding the island, so I called the eight mountains "Eight Dragons".The attendants around him came to the emperor at this time and reminded the emperor that the emperor himself is the dragon among men, and it should be "Nine Dragons".

The full name of Kowloon is "Kowloon Peninsula", which is one of the three major areas in Hong Kong.

In Kowloon, the breath of business can be smelled everywhere, and the business war kicked off here.From Tsim Sha Tsui to Yau Ma Tei, and then to Mong Kok, they are all very attractive locations.Not only does it appear frequently in Hong Kong dramas, but it also enjoys a high reputation in the world.

Among them, the most famous commercial center is Tsim Sha Tsui, which is the legendary "shopping paradise".From Sun Plaza on Xingang Central Island, from Miramar Shopping Center to New World, everywhere you go, there are all super good products and the quality of big brands.And the Star Ferry Pier near Tsim Sha Tsui is a collection of all kinds of prosperity.

Walk through Le Dao, go to the famous second-hand bookstore to find an English book, after shopping, don’t forget to improve your inner world!
In the New World Center, on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade facing Victoria Harbour, the Avenue of Stars imitating Hollywood in the United States is shining brightly.In the Kowloon Mosque, a stick of incense was lit to make a promise for the future.Be a wise woman inside and out at St. Mary's College, Canossa.

Put all the above together, and you have a Hong Kong.Take Hong Kong apart, and you will become Hong Kong people one by one.The water of the Xiangjiang River really nourished the common people, otherwise how could it be so prosperous and prosperous.

If you come to Hong Kong one day, don't be amazed by the beauty here, just enjoy it quietly.

Mong Kok
"Let's love each other or die." Mong Kok said.In Wong Kar Wai's pen, it once lived plumply with the night.In a woman's eyes, once she comes here, she will never be undone.

In ancient times, it was called "Manscorn" because of the overgrown miscanthus.Judging from the map, the gesture protruding into the sea like a bull's horn seems to have already hinted at a bewitching or weird aura.

Thousands of years ago, people in the Eastern Han, Jin, and Tang dynasties lived and multiplied here. Thousands of years later, the village here is called "Mangjiao Village".

Hong Kong, as beautiful as the Bauhinia, is always vividly portrayed by the dignified colors of history. After 1860, it began to depend on the fate of others. The British wind swept through, and the sea was reclaimed and a typhoon shelter was built, so there were piers and roads.Decades later, it has the style it has today.Since then, Mong Kok has been flooded with prosperity.

Mong Kok is in Yau Tsim Mong, Hong Kong, east of the Kowloon Peninsula.In the hundreds of years of development, commerce has replaced industry, covering the sky and covering the sky. It is increasingly filled with buildings, department stores and restaurants of all kinds.Nathan Road is the boundary, with shopping in the east and residences in the west. The developed traffic restores the dream of shopping for all women, so every holiday, the east of Nathan Road will be surrounded by water.Ladies' Market, Fa Yuen Street, and Goldfish Street.Those names that make people want to come here just by listening to them, like magnets, continue to attract dream seekers.

"In my life, I have had many dreams, in which there are countless lace chiffon and endless foundation and lipstick" - this is Ladies Street.From Dundas Street to Argyle Street, a section of Tung Choi Street is commonly known as "Ladies' Market". This is a night market and an excellent place for sightseeing and shopping.

According to legend, Ladies’ Market originated from the unlicensed operation of hawkers squatting on the roadside in the 70s. In order to regulate the market, the government specially implemented the “hawker approved area” plan. Once the mainstream status is achieved, the common name comes from this.

Cosmetics, watches, handbags, aromatherapy.Today's Ladies' Market has long been diversified and has become a must-visit street for both locals and foreigners. Whenever the street lights are on, the street in front of you will become more crowded, full of long hair, red lips, and the smell of perfume. A breath of confusion.

Similar to Women's Market, Sneaker Street is also a common name for a section of Fa Yuen Street.The entire street is only 150 meters long, but it is famous for its sneakers.Since 1980, today's characteristic shopping street has gradually formed here, which is a street market and a downtown.Maybe it's because there are so many young people and the smell of blood is strong, so there are various dramas about Mong Kok later, and the vendettas, big brothers and younger brothers that linger in people's minds.

Mong Kok, the name seems to involve too much entanglement, and the bustling market makes people think of those fragments unconsciously.

In "Carmen in Mong Kok", Andy Lau is in full bloom, Jacky Cheung is full of vigor, and Maggie Cheung is pure and charming. Although it is a fight in the rivers and lakes, it is mixed with beautiful love. After the curtain falls, there is a lonely sigh.

It is a fate in itself, and this fate deeply affects every marginal human being who has ever been involved with "Mong Kok", you and me are all like this.
