Since 2008, I have been to Hong Kong once a year, and the Pearl of the Orient has long been like an old friend to me. Nine years of time, I have been to many streets and alleys in Hong Kong, many outlying islands, but I have found that there is always a beauty that has not been discovered, but sometimes, maybe in a day's time, you can find that in addition to "buying, buying and buying", Hong Kong has more surprises.
08:30: Cityplaza Eslite Bookstore
In the morning, after breakfast at a hotel in Cityplaza, the first stop is to the cityplaza center connected to East hk, in order to read in the early morning. Compared with the Eslite Bookstore in Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui, the guests here are mostly local residents and rarely see tourists. Cityplaza is a Japanese gathering area on Hong Kong Island, and there are also many financial digital middle-class people living on the island, and the morning Eslite is more spacious and comfortable, and if you are lucky, you may even have the feeling of chartering. If you want to go out of the bookstore, you can go to the muji next door, but if you want to visit the shopping malls in the Cityplaza area, please prepare for a few more days.
11:00: hmv Records Store, Central
The British veteran record store hmv has experienced a glorious period of time, and with the increasing decline of the record industry in recent years, there have been bad news of closing its doors. The truth is that it has only gradually reduced some branches around the world, or reduced the operating area of some stores. In the current time of great fanfare of digital life, records and books have become precious carriers, so every time you go to Hong Kong, you must go to hmv to linger, buy a few vinyl records, and feel full inside.
The hmv record stores in Causeway Bay and Central have moved, which can also be regarded as a reduction in the operating area and expansion of the variety of operations. On the way to inquire about the new site, he was also directed to go to the hm on the next street, a letter difference, really far away!
HMV Causeway Bay has expanded its operating area from the former IKEA building to the alley across the street from Baidexin, with a floor selling digital products such as record players and headphones, and another floor converted into a restaurant bar and livehouse, where some small local bands often perform. Central hmv has also changed from a small building operated independently by itself to the basement of a building, which has been continuously reduced, most of the counters have become digital products such as record players and headphones, and the type and price of vinyl records have lost their advantages.
12:30: Lunch at Chui Hang Estate, Central
The veteran Cantonese restaurant Cui Heng Estate, in a building diagonally opposite the hmv record store, only a small door number, into the second floor of the building can not see the signboard, you must go to the staircase to which it belongs, only to see the half-cut staircase wall written on the three words of Cui Heng Estate, showing that only the old food that is familiar with the road is welcome. Tsui Heng Estate has maintained high quality for many years, which has attracted many celebrities to visit, and we were next to us on the same day tvb artist Jiang Meiyi, who recently opened a parental short talk show "Manage Your Family Affairs" on Tricolor Station, which has become a popular figure in the city, but in the eyes of mainlanders, it is not a big hit. However, this already shows that in Tsui Hang Estate, the collision star index is 100%.
The corridor is also too secret to know what kind of place it is, but when I push open the door, I suddenly see the style of the old Cantonese restaurant. The friend who invited me to come said that the last time she came, there was the grandson of the CEO of Zhou Shengsheng Group sitting at the next table, and sure enough, celebrities gathered.
It is said that the chickens here are the most famous in Hong Kong, and the spot on the day is definitely not enough, and my friend who invited me was booked three days in advance.
Scrambled eggs for crab meat
Fried mud carp cake
Stir-fried seasonal vegetables with conch meat
Chicken cake
14:30: Swim in Repulse Bay
On the other side of Hong Kong Island, in addition to being a mansion gathering area for the city's rich and famous people, Repulse Bay is also a good place for Hong Kong young people to have a candlelit dinner on the beach, and the familiar white lifebuoy can be seen in many Hong Kong dramas. In addition to dating, it is also a good place for locals to swim in the water, and according to local friends in Hong Kong, in the early 1990s, many people came here every morning to swim in the morning, when she could meet her filial son Zhou Runfa, who swam with her mother every day. Everyone is familiar like a neighbor, saying "hair boy, morning" every day, and then jumping into the clear water to start a new day full of vitality. Morning swimming is really more suitable for locals, so it is also a good choice to go to the sea during the hottest time of the day.
16:00: Stock market shopping
Stanley Market and Repulse Bay are not far away, after swimming and cleaning, you can come to Stanley for a leisurely stroll. Come to Stanley, it is recommended to take the weekend, because on the weekend there will be a lot of "ghost guys (Hong Kong people call Europeans and Americans)" with their families to come here to shop for goods. In addition to the former residence of Miss Teresa Teng, there are also a number of Western restaurants and bars facing the sea. There are many original foreign trade goods in Stanley Market, the price is cheap, and there are many large-sized goods that are especially suitable for our northerners and ghosts. In addition, there are many art stalls opened by local painters, and you can buy the most local paintings with the least amount of money. (Cantonese: Value!) ）
19:30: Dinner on the sea upstairs in Murray
From Central to Stanley, the restored Murray House, brick by brick, has changed its function from a foreign government in Hong Kong to a gathering place for sea-view restaurants. This year, I found that half of the entire building was occupied by hm, only two Western restaurants remained, so I went to the King Ludwing beerhall German restaurant whose quality and taste had not changed, pork knuckle, sausage, sufficient and cost-effective, and addictive!
At dusk, the Murray House and Stanley Pier are particularly tender under the sunset, and sitting on the big rocks by the sea, you can even forget the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong Island and discover that Hong Kong still has its idyllic and slow pace.
Half of the Murray House has been occupied by hm, which is really an era of FMCG.
Walk into the King Ludwing beerhall German restaurant, with a strong Bavarian atmosphere, all the food is also very authentic.
Classic German pork knuckle
German sausage
Shrimp and seafood salad
Such a big fresh beer, I can't drink it all
22:00: Movies in Times Square
From Stanley, take the 6x bus directly back to Causeway Bay and catch up with a movie. Every time I come to Hong Kong, I will go to see a movie, "The Old Man Has No Dependence" at the Kubrick Cinema in Kowloon, and "Golden Rooster 3" at the Royal Castle Cinema in Causeway Bay, which are still unforgettable. In addition to the unforgettable domestic unreleased, there is also the cold air, just thinking about it is frightening. Today is different from the past, the mainland compatriots who were difficult to meet in the theater in the past have now occupied the position of most of the people before and after me, and even the subtitles have changed from cantonese slang to standard Mandarin, and it is difficult to hinder us from watching the movie occasionally. Even the air conditioner was set to the right temperature, wasting the thick shawl I had specially prepared.
As for the "Tomb Robber Maze" I watched, I didn't make an evaluation at all, and the students who had seen it would naturally understand!
24:00: Drink at Lan Kwai Fong
In Hong Kong, no matter what time it is, you can always find a place to eat and drink. Late at night, when I really didn't know where to go, Lan Kwai Fong was the first thought that popped into my head. That bar gathering place, which appears countless times in film and television dramas, with complex races and complicated relationships, has become the place where travelers most want to explore. Like a local, stand at the door for a drink and chat in Cantonese with the "ghost guy" at the next table. In Hong Kong, you can always find that the world is very small and people are very close.
