What are the unmissable city walking routes in Hong Kong?

I am traveling to Hong Kong. In order to experience the charm of Hong Kong more deeply, I decided to experience Hong Kong on foot. I studied the map and actually walked these routes. I recommend them to everyone! ! !

1. Yau Ma Tei

My specific itinerary is as follows: Southeast Building Art Hotel (similar to the reuse of old objects and given new meanings), Red Brick House (the oldest water pumping station Building), Man Kee Chopping Board (the third generation of wooden clogs produced is called the Chopping Board King), Yau Ma Tei Theater (the only existing theater in Hong Kong built before World War II), Sixianhao (a century-old wooden shop with many novel gadgets), Yau Ma Tei Police Station (the filming location of the movie, with many people taking photos), Hong Kong Jade Street (it seems to have an older atmosphere than Panjiayuan, with a special ancient flavor), Guan Nanhua Dress and Gown Store (a century-old wedding venue) Wedding clothes are all embroidered stitch by stitch, very exquisite), Gonghetang (an old herbal tea shop, very delicious), Desheng Dabai (a century-old pawn shop that still retains the ancient decoration and facade, Very atmospheric)

After shopping, I felt a little sad in my heart. Many refined gadgets, handicrafts, and production methods are disappearing step by step. However, as times change, new historical products will be produced. Or maybe it's a new life.

2. Avenue of Stars

Avenue of Stars is close to the coast, with a total length of about 800 meters. It is especially suitable for taking pictures. With your back to the sea and leaning against the fence, the blue sky and white clouds complement the sea, which is beautiful. , and also had the opportunity to take photos with the yacht, and the photos taken were even more beautiful.

There are many star palm prints here, connected together on the fence. Walking along the way, it feels like witnessing history. It seems that every time I see a name, I can think of the person's voice, appearance and movie roles.

Because I like Stephen Chow so much, I highly recommend this route. Maybe this way is the closest way to get close to him.

There is also a McDull palm print, which makes me feel really cute.

3. Zhongying Street

Zhongying Street is now called "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Street". The street is located at the junction of Shatoujiao Street, Yantian District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, and the North District of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Shenzhen and Hong Kong each occupy half. There is a "boundary monument" in the middle of the street. It is said that in the past, a pass was required to enter the street. I found out last time I went there that you still have to use your ID card to enter. After entering, you feel like, good guy, I have heard of "one country, two systems", and now I have seen "one street, two systems". On one side is a Chinese-style building. On one side are Western-style buildings, two different cultural styles, which really shocked me. I thought there were only two boundary monuments, but later I found out that there are actually many more, but now most of them have been demolished, and only the ones that still exist The numbers 1 and 7 on the boundary markers make people think deeply. It is said that the streets have been partially renovated and renovated. The Hong Kong side is still the same as it was 30 years ago, and the shops and houses in Shenzhen are obviously newer and taller.

There is a row of cultural walls at the end of the street. The walls are covered with reliefs of "A Hundred Years of Blood Shame" that reflect the changes in Zhongying Street over the past century. There are also cultural works such as the "Alarm Bells Ringing" bell tower beside the reliefs. Sightseeing facilities.

I feel that walking through "Sino-British Street" is another patriotic education, especially the reliefs and alarm bells at the end of the street. The meaning of walking is to remember the national humiliation and keep the alarm bells ringing.

When you come to Hong Kong, you really need to visit the "Sino-British Street". It is also a baptism of the soul, remembering the past, and cherishing the hard-won life even more.

4. Shiban Street

Hong Kong’s Shiban Street (also known as Pottinger Street in Central) can really be said to be an old street in Hong Kong that has both characteristics and historical and cultural heritage. The street has a history of more than 160 years. It starts from Queen's Road Central and goes all the way up Hollywood Road. It is said to be named in memory of the first Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Pottinger. The ground is made up of large stone slabs. It is paved in the form of steps, so it is also called Stone Street.

Shiban Street is not long, about 400 meters. Not only does Shiban Street have a long history and a sense of history, but the atmosphere here is also quite strong, mainly due to the nostalgic architecture and atmosphere of Shiban Street, and The surrounding trendy high-rise buildings create a strong visual impact and add a sense of historical atmosphere.

In addition to the rich history and culture, there is also a lot of film and television culture here, and many movies are also shot here, such as "Dragon and Phoenix Fight", "Lust, Caution", "Wenque", "Infernal Affairs", "Plan A", etc. , in addition to appreciating the film culture, the shops here are also products of culture and history, such as restaurants with still old storefronts, historical and cultural refrigerator magnets sold in small shops, and movie posters sold at book and newsstands.

Looking at the works from that time and looking at the works now, I can’t help but sigh, times are really different!
