Travel Notes My Hong Kong Memory

The first solo trip started in Hong Kong. I have always had a bad impression of this city. In my imagination, she may be similar to Shanghai, with crowded streets and many buildings. Everywhere you go, there will be a sea of people, and most of them have to line up to get their meals. I have no strong desire to travel to this city. You never know, my friend who recommended me to travel to Hong Kong didn't come, but I came alone, having no idea about the city.

Hong Kong is located at the southern tip of the Asian plate, backed by the mainland, and consists of the New Territories, Kowloon Peninsula, Lantau Island, Hong Kong Island and more than 200 surrounding islands. It is a prosperous international city with hills and mountains, and its population density ranks third in the world. Because there are many coastal ports and free trade cities, the commodity resources here are very rich, many of which are tax-free. When it comes to traveling to Hong Kong, many people will label it as shopping. I want to know more about the city.

The plane is close to Hong Kong, and the blue ocean current wraps the dark green island. Hong Kong Airport is one of the few maritime airports in China. The marine climate is changeable, often accompanied by strong winds, and ocean currents often form fog or precipitation due to temperature changes. As a result, the airport is accompanied by bad weather all the year round, and the island also makes the navigation field of the airport not wide. These conditions are not conducive to the take-off and landing of aircraft, so it is called the most dangerous airport in the world. However, the more dangerous the environment, the better the safety awareness of pilots. The dangerous appearance of Hong Kong Airport makes pilots face it more seriously and reduces the incidence of aviation sophistication, so it is also one of the safest airports in the world.

Along the Hong Kong Airport, take a taxi from Tsing Yi Station to Victoria Harbour. As the name implies, it comes from Queen Victoria in colonial period. The harbour is wide and deep, suitable for all kinds of ships to dock, and has brought rich materials and wealth to Hong Kong all over the world, and is known as the Pearl of the Orient. When you go to Hong Kong, you must enjoy the scenery along the coast of Victoria Harbour. All kinds of ships coming and going at sea, some beautiful and lovely, some seem to be sealed by history, and every ship here has its soul.

I wanted to go to Tsim Sha Tsui the next day, but I didn't plan to cross the typhoon shelter on the overpass. In May, the weather in Hong Kong is very hot. In the arbor of the overpass, a couple are having lunch. Because they travel alone, they feel particularly warm and envious.

Crossing the overpass is the entrance to the typhoon shelter. The typhoon shelter in my impression is spicy crab. This time, I really came and found another kind of scenery. An uncle from Hong Kong is fishing on the shore. As a "cat that loves to eat fish", it is natural to stop and see what fish you have caught. There are some fresh tiger fish in the bright yellow bucket. This fish is tender and tender. .........

I said goodbye to my uncle and walked along the pond. Suddenly, a Hong Kong grandmother waved to me on the boat and invited me to take a boat in Kwun Tong. I don't know where I got the courage to accept those who can't swim. Along grandma's familiar waterway, I saw the real and vivid Tangwan. In the high-end yacht area, every boat looks so proud. The pure white enamel was brightly illuminated by the sun and continued to walk along the waterway to the periphery of Tangwan. The field of vision is getting narrower and narrower, and the ships moored are becoming more and more peculiar and unique.

Expensive yachts and boats covered with tarpaulins are like the portrayal of Hong Kong. You can see splendid high-end luxury shops, and you can also see cars and bowls in the streets. The whole cruise lasted for 20 minutes, but I felt somewhere inside was touched. A city is like a person. Maybe at this moment, his appearance is bright. When you slowly turn over his history, you will definitely see the figure of that effort. Hong Kong's achievements today also come from the hard work of millions of ordinary Hong Kong people.

The Science and Technology Museum is near Victoria Harbour, and its hemispherical appearance is very recognizable. It was already 5 pm when I went. There is a kindergarten children's art exhibition in the lobby on the first floor. A father and son are looking at these pictures carefully. Dad probably just got off work, wearing a formal suit to accompany the children. Maybe one of these works was created by children. ......

Looking at the bright colors on the wall, we feel the bright future of Hong Kong. In the corner is a powerful calligraphy word, "Faithfulness is passed down from generation to generation, diligence is the most important thing, diligence is the most important thing, and the meaning must be high." Imagine their tender little hands, writing seriously, very touching. Today's children in Hong Kong are still encouraging themselves with sentences that we have been familiar with for thousands of years. Although the city has been colonized for a hundred years, the blood of Chinese civilization still flows in its body, and its soul has not been domesticated.

Lu Yu Tea Room is a famous tea restaurant in Hong Kong. It is said that it has a history of fifty or sixty years, and many tourists will come here. The decoration of the restaurant reminds me of Shanghai in the 1930s. Stained glass windows, carved mahogany chairs, and shop assistants are all over 500 years old. Their faces are unique vicissitudes and match the retro decoration in the store. The reserved expression of the clerk uncle seems to indicate the glory of this store.

I ordered a beef brisket noodle and a pot of Pu 'er tea. The beef brisket is crisp and rotten, the bamboo tube surface somersaults, the tea soup is clear and beautiful, and the simple dinner has a different temperature.

An old couple next door are communicating in fluent and authentic Shanghai dialect. At that time, they felt a little out of place in time and space. They came to Hong Kong all the way, but they could hear the authentic Shanghai dialect. They mean to have dinner in class, and guests come here to order something to eat and go home. Uncle, the serious clerk, is smiling all over his face at the moment and chatting with them happily. Presumably, the old people in Shanghai have lived in other places for a long time, and they can only rely on their local accents to pin their attachment to their hometown. And my loneliness of traveling alone has been diluted a lot because of the familiar local accent.

I have a habit. If I travel long distances, I must visit local universities. On my way to Kowloon, I passed the Hong Kong Polytechnic, a university connected to the subway. As soon as I entered the school, I found many teaching buildings donated by celebrities, such as Li Ka-shing Building and Shaw Building. ......

Walking along the school, we happened to see the Hong Kong Youth Design Talent Exhibition. All the works have the cultural characteristics of China, such as stools with silhouettes of copper coins, these exquisite illustrations of China elements and clothing designs similar to Hanfu, which make people feel a strong Asian fashion atmosphere.

Interactive and participatory devices are not interesting. There are also 3D printed glasses and technology equipment, which seems to feel the smart life in the future.

When I left, an Indonesian student enthusiastically gave me a book, Designing Asia, which weighed three or four Jin, and I wanted to decline it politely. Finally, because of these beautiful designs, I accepted this special gift. Recorded the award-winning works of DFA design in Hong Kong every year, which made me feel the influence of solid Hong Kong design strength on Asia.

Half of a city's culture comes from art, and the bullpen art village, as its name implies, is transformed with bullpen; I heard that it used to be a slaughterhouse for cattle and sheep, but now there are a lot of artists living there. The local government wants to purify the blood with art, and entering the village is like entering a fairy tale. Several children are washing waste tires. They want to make cute dinosaur cars with this material. MengMeng rabbits and monkeys with tortoise shells hung in the air ... as if they had entered Alice's dream.

The other is the artist's studio, which is guarded by iron soldiers and flying horses at the door, making people afraid to knock on the door easily, and the posters symbolizing frogs are tightly attached to the windows. You said it was art, but what I saw was a pure fairy tale world.

Taiping Mountain is the largest mountain scenic spot in Hong Kong. When I walked slowly from Lan Kwai Fong to the foot of Taiping Mountain, it was already half past eight in the evening. The street lamps in Hong Kong are really energy-saving, and they are all scattered with faint yellow. The trees on the mountain are complex and lush, and sometimes the afterglow of street lamps is not good. It's getting darker and darker, and it's not halfway up the mountain. The street lamp has become only a few tens of meters. . And there is no one along the road, and the swaying posture of the trees feels that there are many Shan Gui along the road. .

I climbed the mountain for the first time around 9 pm, and I felt all kinds of entanglements in my heart. Think about a girl's home. This mountain road is dark and scary, so safety comes first. I hurried back along the road. I am anxious and hesitant. A tall foreign figure ran by, and I seemed to meet a savior. I quickly followed him and stopped him. I asked in broken English if this mountain road was safe. He told me in fluent American English that the mountain road is safe and the top of the mountain is very lively. So I said thank you and wanted to follow him, but the mountain road was steep and it was particularly stuffy along the way. That foreigner is a long-legged man with amazing physical strength. He is jogging instead of climbing the mountain, and my "Minions with Asian short legs" really can't catch up. . . Crawling back to a person's predicament. . .

But it was halfway up the mountain, so I had to bite the bullet and keep climbing. On the way, I met a couple named "Minions with short legs", so I deliberately kept a close distance from them and finally climbed to the top of the mountain breathlessly (PS: in Minions's world, my physical strength and climbing skills still have advantages, O(∩_∩)O Haha ~). The closer I get to the top of the mountain, the sultry feeling gradually disappears, and the cool mountain wind seems to be a reward for my courage. You can have a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour from the top of the mountain, and all kinds of neon lights decorate Hong Kong extraordinarily enchanting.

I don't know why, but I missed my family at that moment, but I could only send my feelings to the mountains and rivers.

The last night in Hong Kong was Labor Day, and the hotels in Hong Kong were almost full. I accidentally set the wrong hotel date for the last night half a month ago. To make matters worse, the discounted hotel can't change the check-in time. After consulting various hotel apps, I decided to sleep at the airport for the last night.

At midnight 1 1 half past ten, I calmly took the subway to the Hong Kong airport, fed myself at the convenience store first, and then pushed the baggage cart all the way to find a safer seat to sleep. Unfortunately, I found the waiting hall crowded with people who stayed overnight. They are experienced and have prepared inflatable pillows, blankets, goggles and other sleeping equipment, and have already grabbed the most comfortable seats. Feeling that the airport is their home has also eliminated my fear of sleeping at the airport alone. I changed two places all night. The first place is reserved for sleeping on the table and clothes on my pillow. In the second place, I found a chair for three people and simply began to lie down and sleep. There is a tall blonde Russian girl playing games next to me, which makes me feel very safe. It wasn't long before I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was about 5 o'clock in the morning. The sunrise outside the glass wall of the airport is like a red salted egg yolk, and the Russian sister next to it has disappeared. I got up and sat there in a daze, watching the passengers coming and going in a hurry. When an Indian passed by, he took something out of his pocket and scattered some coins, but no one who passed by picked it up. An airport ground crew passed by, and I motioned for him to have money on the ground, but he waved his hand and said that they were staff members and could not pick up money casually. Those coins were not picked up when I left, and I lay quietly on the ground. .............................................................................................................................................................
