I don't know if the friends have noticed that the favorite place to check in in Hong Kong has changed recently, and mainland tourists now like to queue up at the old Yau Ma Tei Police Station and McDonald Road to take photos.
But these Internet celebrity check-in points for mainland tourists in long queues, Hong Kong locals do not go at all!
Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station
If you have recently passed by Yau Ma Tei Police Station, you may see a picture like this:
Take a photo at the police station?
It turns out that in addition to being a second-class historical building in Hong Kong, the Yau Ma Tei Police Station is also a familiar scene in Hong Kong films.
For example, "The Years of Dragon City in the Underworld"
"Flower Street Era"
"Half a Cigarette"
But Hong Kong locals feel that they don't understand, thinking that it is just an ordinary police station, "Is there a good shadow?!" ”
Some local residents said, "I have lived in Yau Ma Tei for half a century, and I have never seen so many people taking pictures in front of the mission hall." ”
Mandarin Mansion
In addition to the old Ma Tei Police Station, there is also a TVB filming location that has also been super popular recently.
That is the address of Xiong's house in the TVB sitcom "Love Home Happy Express", which was picked up by netizens at the Mandarin Building, No. 28-34 Lietiton Road, and many mainland tourists clocked in and took photos downstairs:
"Love Home Happy Express" has been accompanying the audience for six years since it was broadcast in 2017, and even the drama has been broadcast for thousands of episodes, and it is still popular with fans, so many fans will come to Hong Kong to check in.
In this regard, some people feel that the rush of tourists to check in may cause distress to residents, "Please do not disturb the area and neighbors." ”
McDonald Road
Hong Kong entertainment group Soft and Hard Tianshi once improvised a McDonald's advertising song for Eason Chan, in which the lyrics read: "McDonald's Road solves no McDonald's, really rice tastic", making McDonald's Road in the mid-level hills of Hong Kong Island a hot spot.
Many tourists spontaneously bought McDonald's to take to McDonald's Road to check in.
But there is not a McDonald's on this street, so these mainland friends need to buy drinks, food, paper bags in advance at McDonald's Admiralty branch, and then pack them to check in!
You must know that McDonald's Road is located halfway up the hills, a long distance from the MTR station, and the road is still sloped. And even if you get there, you can only take a few photos and turn back.
This made Hong Kong people feel even more strange, spitting: "In the end, a street sign has a good shadow?" ”
More Hong Kong people joked: "Go to Wan Chai Pier to carry dumplings at Wan Chai Pier, go to Mai Hua Chen to stir up Huachen, go to play drums at Guling Ridge, go to Victory Road to raise victory gestures, go to Liuhe Street to pick up Mark Six Caifei, go to Chaguoling to eat tea fruits." ”
Avenue of Stars
When it comes to the Avenue of Stars, friends may have to wonder: Isn't the Avenue of Stars always a popular place?
Yes, everyone used to go to the Avenue of Stars to find the palm prints of well-known people or their idols.
As a result, the popular Top of the Avenue of Stars has now turned into the pig palm print of "Mai Du".
Speaking of wheat pocket, I immediately think of the round pink piglet image, and the classic "trouble you, fish ball thick noodles" dialogue. And Maidu Ben Pig is also a childhood friend who accompanies many friends to grow up, so many friends specially went to take photos with the bronze statue of Maidu.
But at the same time, many Hong Kong people feel that they understand, "It's like Hong Kong people waiting in a few hours to eat a bowl of ramen, each has its own good."
"Tourists will take pictures of everything, and they will take pictures of buildings or decorations they see in foreign countries"
"Honestly, tourism is like that, people in their home place always feel that the place where they live is a good movie"
Hong Kong people say they can't understand these Hong Kong check-in points that are popular among mainland tourists, and even don't even look at places they usually pass by. It is precisely these places that Hong Kong people are accustomed to, but for mainland tourists, they are full of "Hong Kong flavor".
In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand places worth visiting in Hong Kong, whether it is the classic locations in Hong Kong films, the scenes in the lyrics, for the sake of feelings, or for curiosity... It is precisely these differences that make travel options for Hong Kong diversified.
Finally, where do you think Hong Kong is worth visiting?
