#疫情放开, what should we do #
It has been three years since Hong Kong implemented entry quarantine measures since February 8, 2020, and it has finally been announced a few days ago that Hong Kong and the mainland have officially launched the first phase of customs clearance! We can finally end the days of "looking across the river" and meet up with friends and family to Hong Kong for a walk-and-go trip!
When it comes to experiencing Hong Kong's local culture, how come there are so few recreational activities? After three years, although some landmarks have disappeared in Hong Kong, many interesting and interesting new cultural landmarks have emerged.
Today I will tell you that in the cultural museum and relatively niche art space that just opened to the public last year, friends who are preparing to travel to Hong Kong can arrange it this time!

The first thing to introduce to you is the Hong Kong Palace Museum, which opened to the public on July 3 last year, is this the "branch" opened by the Forbidden City in Beijing?

Some people may ask, who is Pan Dihua?
The post-90s and post-00s may be unfamiliar with this name, but after in-depth understanding, it is difficult not to be impressed by her charm. Born in Shanghai in 1931, Pan Dihua was the first singer in Hong Kong to sign with EMI in the UK, the first singer in Hong Kong to have a singing club, and the first singer to adopt Chinese and Western lyrics.
Pan Dihua is a famous female singer in Hong Kong in the 60s of the 20th century, with her sincere performances, she has been invited to sing all over the world for many times, covering Europe, America, Asia and Australia, and is known as a "traveling singer". Cultural figure Rong Nian once described Pan Dihua as a pioneer of pop culture, and her innovation, boldness and musical mission drove her to spend HK$1972 to produce Hong Kong's first original Chinese musical "The White Lady" to promote Chinese music, which also showed Pan's persistence in dreaming.
In addition to her identity as a singer, she is more familiar to the younger generation as an actor, playing the adoptive mother of the male protagonist Xu Tsai (played by Leslie Cheung) in "The True Story of A Fei" directed by Wong Kar-wai, and Mrs. Sun, the neighbor of Su Lizhen (played by Maggie Cheung) and Chow Muyun (played by Tony Leung) in "In the Mood for Love", who is noble and eye-catching, presenting the image of a Shanghai noble lady in front of the audience. With these two films, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and won the 28th Golden Horse Awards and the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 36th Asia-Pacific Film Festival for "The True Story of A Fei", which shows Pan Dihua's diversity on the road of performing arts and culture.
Sister Pan's personal collection is extensive, many of which are stunning, revealing texture and taste, which is a world away from the current over-reliance on technological retouching.
Over the years, Sister Pan has cherished her photos, and this time, "Pan Dihua - Flower Shadow - Rare Photo Exhibition" organized by Artcanteen Art Granary carefully selected from more than 1,000 photos, including personal promotional photos, photos of her rich life on and off stage, and precious records of Sister Pan's fancy years, etc., condensing her acting life.
