Hong Kong City Walk (Part 1)


Hong Kong City Walk (Part 1)
Location: Central/ Sheung Wan/Wan Chai/ Wong Tai Sin / Mong Kok, Hong Kong

虽然每次短假游的时间表都挤满了要去参观的景点,的确是非常赶的行程,但不会影响我们的心情游走。就算走马看花游香港,也要好好把照片拍好,回到家后再慢慢细味旅程的所见所闻,都会觉得充实的旅程令人心满意足。我们搭乘早班飞机抵达香港,在尖沙咀的帝国酒店登记入住后,我们就把握时间冲出去乘坐港铁到了海的对岸-香港岛。因此,今趟我们这一家的香港游始于中环,一切从寻找星巴克复古冰室角落开始,这是市中心的游逛。



中环 (Central)

要在香港自由行欣赏古迹和顺道走访的景点最好就从上环的港铁站开始,因为一直沿着山路行走到上环的市中心,一路上会经过旧最高法院大楼,然后到我们要寻找的星巴克复古冰室角落就在都爹利街石阶及煤气路灯。再来沿途走着山路就会到达兰桂坊,经过中环至半山自动扶梯,走过著名的石板街,走过皇后大道中,休闲体验地道的街头风光,看看这都市生活的多个面貌和沿途依山而建的独特城市景色,感觉还真是不错。虽然是在城市中游走,但感觉就像在爬山又下山,还好这个时候是冬季,天气凉爽。于是我们这一家看着地图,再看看路标指示,寻找附近的观光景点。

【中环,又称中区,位于香港岛的中西区,是香港的政治与商业中心,也是港岛最早开发的地区。早在1841年,英国人占领香港便率先在中环建立军事基地,并迅速兴建多条道路,并在亚厘毕道山坡划为政府专用地段,而作为港英政府象徽的港督府便座落在政府山的中央位置。】



上环(Sheung Wan

闻名的海味街和燕窝街都在上环区,以走马看花一些非常有特色的古物收藏店铺和怀旧咖啡馆,除此以外香港就是渗透着浓厚的传统气息,上环的大街道上可以发现充满怀旧气息的香港电车 叮叮! 不被淘汰的两层叮叮车在新旧建筑物结合的密集城市中有着它必须被保留下来的价值。仔细留意叮叮車的外观有着很多不同的广告,可以说是香港岛上主要资讯宣传的管道之一。

【上环,位于香港岛中西区的北部。1834年起,一直是华人的聚居地,英国人及其他外国人就住在中环。1850年代,随着太平天国之乱逃难的华人带来了资金和经商经验令这里发展成华人主要的商贸区。尤其接近三角码头,故成为香港早期港口贸易集中地。此后,上环一直随着香港经济而发展。】



金紫荆广场(Golden Bauhinia Square@湾仔,香港

香港岛是香港的第二大岛屿。上回夏日游的时候我们在九龙半岛的尖沙咀星光大道上眼望对岸的高楼大厦,对岸有个名为湾仔的小海湾。湾仔是香港其中一个主要商业区,有很多旧式住宅大厦,也有很多摩登的商业高楼,那里有个名为金紫荆广场的观光景点。

【金紫荆广场,设有金紫荆铜雕,高6公尺,正式名称是永远盛开的紫荆花,寓意香港永远繁荣昌盛。金色的紫荆花座落在圆形暖红色花岗石基座,基座形状以万里长城墙为设计,象征中国,紫荆花代表香港,象徽香港座落于中国疆土之内是中国的一部分】



女人街 Tung Choi Street Ladies Market@ 旺角,香港

位于香港旺角的女人街是当地观光购物地标和夜市,售卖服装和化妆品等女士用品等因而得名。一踏入这人山人海的街市,可见从街头到街尾两旁都有着一排排的摊位,据说更分为四段街道,多达200家的摊位,货品多得令人眼花缭乱,售卖的物品多元化,包括物廉价美的家居用品、手袋、玩具、服装、饰品、鞋类等。

【旺角古称芒角,因当地芒草丛生而地形像牛角伸入海峡而名芒角咀,附近的村落更是芒角村,村民以种菜,种花和养猪养鸡维生。1860年起,芒角随着九龙半岛割让英国,村民得以通商并将所种的花朵、蔬菜和圈养的禽畜运往香港岛出售,又因当时多乘坐蜑民的船只渡海,由于蜑民称芒为望,因此英国人依照蜑民的口音将芒角叫做Mong Kok。三十年代,芒角改名为旺角,取其与旺之意。从五十年代起,该区逐渐转型成商住区。

而时至今日的旺角已经成为繁盛的购物区。由于旺角及附近一带的商店多售卖潮流商品,吸引到不少时尚年轻人聚集,就像日本东京的原宿,例如位于旺角地铁上方的郎豪坊商场里有着许多别具特色的店铺,引进了日本最新设计的品牌和潮人玩物的收藏。出没在旺角区中爱追求潮流的年青人一般会被称为“MK,男的被称为“MK,女的被称为“MK“MK,也被加上一个特别的名称 “潮童”,他们的衣着打扮则被称为“MK Look”MKMong Kok的简称。】



嗇色园黃大仙祠 Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple

还未踏入嗇色园黃大仙祠,在地铁站处就能闻到阵阵的烧香味,在外头的摊位不仅售卖各种入庙拜神的烧香,还包括了转运的风车和许愿的铃铛等,可以感觉到香港人拜神真的很神心。更发现了冲太岁的访客们必须用不同的通道进入庙宇,庙宇的另一旁竟然有着一排排为香客解签的摊位。从跪拜到供香再到求签与祈福,眼看着香客们忙忙碌碌上香祈福,真的令人觉得他们对拜神十分讲究。不过这趟我们前往不是为了拜神,纯粹只是为了嗇色园黃大仙祠的后庭院 -从心苑,欣赏中国宫殿式设计的庭院。

【嗇色园黃大仙祠是香港最著名的庙宇之一,崇奉儒、釋、道三教。据说黃大仙「有求必应」,签文灵验,常年吸引无数善信到來膜拜求签,香火鼎盛。每年的农历大年初一,有不少善信争相到來抢头香,成為香港贺岁习俗之一。

据祠内的《赤松子自述》所载,黄大仙原名黄初平,约于公元328年于浙江省金华县兰溪市出生,15岁开始学道,40年后,他的兄弟到山中寻找他时,见他能指石变羊,从此,两兄弟一起修炼,双双为仙。由于黄初平隐居于赤松山修炼,故又称“赤松仙子”。黄大仙祠内最具特色的,是其“五形”建筑布局,祠中的飞鸾台、经堂、玉液池、盂香亭及照壁,各代表金、木、水、火、土五行。另外,祠内还有其他富中国传统色彩的建筑如三圣堂、大殿及从心苑等。】
