SPD4459 - Destination 20 - 【西環 Sai Wan】香港大學The University of Hong Kong


中西區還有什麼影相的好地方,就讓spd4459同學仔帶你到一個著名的地方。香港大學(The University of Hong Kong),簡稱港大或HKU,是一所於1911年於香港島薄扶林成立的大學。
It there any other place for photographing? Let spd4459 student introduce a famous place to all of you.The University of Hong Kong (informally known as HKU or Hong Kong University) is a public research university located in Pokfulam, Hong Kong.


香港大學內有大量歷史建築,其中4項建築已被列為法定古蹟。
其中歷史最悠久的建築就是本部大樓。大樓以文藝復興時期建築模式的花崗石柱廊所支撐,頂部則建有一座高塔和四座角塔,具有典型西方建築風格。典雅的建築也令本部大樓成為港大學生拍攝畢業照的首選地。

Main Building is the university's oldest structure and was sponsored by Sir Hormusjee Naorojee Mody and designed by Architect Messrs Leigh & Orange. It is built in the post-renaissance style with red brick and granite and has two courtyards. The main elevation is articulated by four turrets with a central clock tower (a gift from Sir Paul Chater in 1930).



對香港大學的歷史感興趣嗎? 快看看官方如果介紹它的歷史吧~!

SPD4459 - Destination 17 - 【中環 Central】中環蘇豪區 SOHO

今日又帶大家來到中西區,來到位於香港香港島中上環一帶的蘇豪區。
為何這裡被命名為蘇豪,跟倫敦的蘇豪區有沒有關係呢?

Welcone to Central and Western District again.Here we are SOHO.
Why it is named as Soho? Is it related to london soho?



答案是有關係的,有網站指蘇豪這個名稱其實取源於英國倫敦的蘇豪區,因為它們性質類似。另外也有一個說法,就是蘇豪是以地理位置和街名而成,蘇豪區位於荷李活道南部(South of Hollywood Road),所以經常活躍於當地的外籍人士特意從地理中抽出「So」及「Ho」而得名。

Maybe it is really related to London Soho because the two district have the same nature. Besides that, there are another reason behind the name, which is the geographic location and the name of the streets. SOHO is located in South of Hollywood, so it is named by the foreigner as Soho.

對SOHO的夜生活很好奇嗎? 以下的片段會引起你興趣嗎?
Interested in the night life in SoHo? Watch the following video~ Let's come and play together!

SPD4459 - Destination 7 - 【中環 Central】Hollywood Road



SPD 4459 同學仔又出動了!
今次帶大家再次來到中環, 走入中環的荷里活道。

SPD 4459 students say hello to you again.
This time, we are going to bring you to  another destination which is located in Central. It is called "Hollywood Rood".


荷里活道是香港開埠後興建的第一條街道。
它的名字與美國的荷里活電影無關,只是與早年那一帶種滿冬青樹(HOLLYWOOD) 的特色而命名,但同時亦深具香港中西文化合璧的特色。

Hollywood Road is the first street that developed by the government after the Hong Kong opened for business trade. The origin of the name is not related to the USA Hollywood film.
It comes from its history that many banians were planted on the road - "Hollywood".


荷里活道經歷早年英國人統治香港的時期,而前警察總部也已經被改建為2014年政府重點旅遊景點的"元創方"。可是,那兒亦保留不少殖民地時代色彩的氛圍,其中最受年輕人歡迎的必然是壁畫,這兒便成就了荷里活道被旅客所稱為"香港的文創地"。

Hollywood Road witness the early period of British ruling Hong Kong.
The former police headquarter was nearby there and had been converted into PMQ which the HKSAR government recognized as one of the major tourist attractions in Hong Kong in 2014.
However, there are still conserving the color of colonial era.
Hollywood Road is now so famous for its murals among  Hong Kong teenagers.
Therefore, some travelers even named Hollywood Road and the Western and Central District as " The Destination of Hong Kong Culture and Creativity Manner".



最為人熟悉的必然是這幅以藍色作為主調,配合香港五、六十年代建築特色的房屋影像。最近於社交網站上,大受年青人歡迎,很多人特意走到中環拍下這顏色鮮艷奪目的巾景作為頭象。 不妨擺出不同的姿態及尋找屬於自己感覺的拍攝角度! 

The most popular view is the below one, which uses blue as the main color tone.
Housing estate which was  the style of Hong Kong in 1950s to 1960s was drawn.
Many people go there and take a snapshot of it and use it as the colorful icon on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

SPD4459 - Destination 6 - 【上環 Sheung Wan】Western Market 西港城


當走過上環的街道,除了電車的「叮叮」聲音喚起回憶的音符外,無一不被位於德輔道中的西港城所吸引。這座坐落於舊區的紅磚屋,見證上環過百年的成長,充滿回憶痕跡。愛德華式古典建築風格,紅磚外牆,拱頂的大門,殖民色彩濃厚,在四周的高樓群中更顯獨特。
The song of the tram, Ding Ding”, brings me into the music of memory when I walk in the Sheung Wan. Besides, the Western Market which located at Des Voeux Road Central  had caught my eyes.
The red brick building is the witness of the development of this old district for over a century. Western Market becomes the unique snapshot and represents the art of colonizing because of its Edwardian-style building, red brick exterior and handsome granite arch over its entrance.

SPD4459 - Destination 5 - 【上環 Sheung Wan】上環 Poho區 Sheung Wan Poho





午後,走進了一個傳統氛圍且富有前衛設計的舊區,當你沿路往上行,你好像置身於不同的國度中,而它便是上環的「Poho區」。
Walking into an old urban area which is full of traditional atmosphere and avant-garde design, you feel like arriving in different countries when going uphill.  And, it is Sheung Wan’s Poho.



上環「Poho區」是由當地藝術家、設計師所命名,指的是四方街、太平山街、普慶坊及磅巷一帶,有的人更稱它為太平山街小社區。由於附近的街角巷弄無處不是牆,所以自然地成為了一班塗鴉愛好者的畫布。
The name of Sheung Wan’s Poho was given by the artists and designers from Hong Kong; it is located around Square Street, Tai Ping Shan Street, Po Hing Fong and Pound Lane. Someone even called it as the small community of Tai Ping Shan Street. All the walls in there became the canvas of graffiti amateurs.




為何這舊區會滿佈塗鴉呢?HKWalls發起人正正看中了它的牆壁,把它變成了充滿著街頭藝術的地方。透過由本地居民捐牆的活動,使巷裏的牆壁變得美麗,以配合他們的宣言—"We need walls. You need art."
Why is the graffiti all around in this old urban area? HKWalls’ initiators were attracted by the walls and wanted street art and graffiti takeover the walls of Hong Kong.  To let the walls turned into revitalized, their aims “We need walls. You need art.” can be achieved through donating walls by the residents in Sheung Wan.

SPD4459 - Destination 1 - [上環Sheung Wan] 石板街 Stone Slab Street


「 石板街」的正名其實是「砵典乍街」,以香港首任總督 砵典乍 命名。
它是一段連接山上皇后大道中至山下荷李活道的道路。
由於路面陡直,因此政府
決定用石塊舖蓋路面,正是如此而得出「石板街」這個有趣的名稱。
不要小看路面的設計,一塊塊大石板,一凹一凸的路面就是為了減低斜度,方便行人上落,亦方便雨水沿梯邊瀉走,有防滑的作用。
如果有空來的話,不妨細心觀察一下這個獨特的設計!

In fact, the official name of Stone Slab Street is Pottinger Street which was named after the first Governor of HK -Henry Pottinger.
It is on the slope between Queen's Road Central and  Hollywood Road.
Due to its steepness, the Government decided to use stone slabs to pave the road. Therefore, the locals also named it Stone Slab Street.
You may curious about the the unevenly paved road design. In fact, it is aimed to facilitate walking and allow rainwater to flow down along the two sides.
If you come here next time, let take some time to admire this unique design!
一凹一凸的路面設計原來是大有作用的!
It is unbelievable that the unevenly paved road has a meaningful function!


「 石板街」可說是遊客必到的景點之一,不少國外朋友來旅遊時都央著要我帶他們去一趟。
但無可否認這裡有一種懷舊的風味,可以讓遊客或繁忙的香港人停下腳步,感受一下六十年代時被英國統治時的香港。
在這裡,隨意舉起相機,按下快門都可以拍出大師級般的作品!
我想正正是這個原因,所以吸引了不少電影(例如十月圍成、無間道、色戒等等)、MV及電視劇在這裡取景吧!


It is not exaggerated to said that Stone Slab Street was a must go place in HK. 
Many foreigner friends always ask me to bring them there.
It is undoubted that itt is full of old HK characteristic which let you feel the 60s of HK.
No matter which angle you took, you can easily get a masterpiece by simply pressing the shutter button!
Funny, right?
I believe that because of the above reason that makes many famous movie(e.g. "Bodyguards and Assassins", "Infernal Affairs","Lust, Caution", etc), music video and TV drama shootings took place here.
