On the last day of the itinerary to leave Hong Kong, I arranged to go to the Central Stone Street in the middle of the mountain along the escalator, take the escalator leisurely all the way up, wandering along the street.Take the streetcar to and from the hotel again, so please ask the hotel to keep your luggage, and then take a taxi to Central Station to take the Airport Express.
Central Stone Street: A nostalgic old street witnessing the early history and humanities of Hong Kong
My husband is a fan of standard movies. I’m not surprised to arrange this attraction, because Central Stone Street has been included in many well-known movies. From Jackie Chan’s early famous work "Project A" to "In the Mood for Love" by Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, Then the protagonist of "October Besieged City" Leung Ka-fai was injured. In Lee Ang's "Lust. Caution", Tang Wei and Leehom Wang were eating at the roadside stall, so we visited here with the feelings of movie fans.
The stone street is called "Pottinger Street". It is the name of the first governor of Hong Kong during the colonial era. It is now rated as a first-class monument and is one of the most precious attractions.Although the road is not long, it is nearly 45 degrees steep. When walking, we still pay attention to the mother-in-law and mother who are accompanying us. It is recommended that the elders should pay more attention to them at the same time. In the past 150 years, Stone Street can be seen representing the early flavors of Hong Kong, including antique shops, tailor shops, second-hand book shops, retro clothing shops, etc. The foreigner bars on the side are intertwined, which is a very unique style.
▲ The starting point of Stone Street.
▲ All kinds of businesses on the side are scattered all over the world.
▲For the movie fan, I finally have the opportunity to see what the scenes in the movie look like.
▲ In contrast to historical commentary, the story of October Siege is just like what you see.
Jiu Shan Bar: A restaurant that offers Western cuisine but better bartending
Near noon, we should not let our elders be hungry. We looked for places to eat between Stone Street and the Mid-Levels escalator. There are many restaurants to choose from. However, in the past, we relied on the highest guiding principle of eating where there are many people. Everyone in Hong Kong is at work on this day. There are really not many people who will linger here at this time, so I can only judge by the appearance of the restaurant!The food at Jiushan Bar is mostly western-style, including brunch, pizza, pasta, etc. The taste is quite delicious, but my personal favorite is the cocktail. This glass of Mojito has a strong mint aroma, accompanied by With the flavor of wine, it can be regarded as excellent bartending skill!
▲ The restaurants on this road are mostly foreign tourists.
▲ Jiushan Bar is a traditional Chinese architecture.
▲Come here for a drink in the evening, the atmosphere is better.
▲Pick a seat and prepare for the meal.
▲ This is the size of their brunch!
▲ Mojito, which is highly respected by individuals!
▲ From this scene, I feel the pressure of the densely populated Hong Kong.
Mid-levels escalator in Central: classic movie scenes were shot here
With the mood of visiting the stone street in front, the drama "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wong Kar-wai, in which Faye Wong peeped from the apartment to Liang Chaowei taking the escalator to work. This is the mid-level escalator in the play.After I checked the information, it turned out that the Central escalator is the longest semi-automatic escalator in the world, with a total length of about 800 meters. It allows residents here to travel easily and alleviate the problem of narrow lanes in this area. We can ride comfortably along with the crowds. , Overlooking the streets and alleys, feel interesting!
▲ Hong Kong and Taiwan are the same, they both stand on the right and give way.
▲ The real street "alley".
▲ We also take this open-top sightseeing bus, and choose another one to introduce.
▲ After introducing this attraction, I hope you can come to see the charm of the movie scene when you come to Hong Kong. ^^
