My three-day trip to Hong Kong was like a song along the way.
Please pay attention to more of my travel guides: https://www.douban.com/doulist/147564914There is almost no preparation for traveling in Hong Kong this winter, no good strategies, no reserved restaurants, or even hotels. They were all booked in Tokyo the night before flying to Hong Kong. (Our itinerary is "Home-Japan-Hong Kong-Home". If something goes wrong on the way, we will not be able to reach Hong Kong, so we will not make any preparations before getting the report in Tokyo.)
But even so, my Hong Kong The trip is still very meaningful.I feel like I am walking in a Cantonese song, and the journey along the way is like a song.
There are too many people and cars on the street, and people in the bustling city are drunk at night. ——"Nathan Road"
Nathan Road, located on the Kowloon Peninsula of Hong Kong, is the most important thoroughfare in Kowloon. One of the most famous streets in Hong Kong, China. The road reaches Salisbury Road in the south, Cheung Sha Wan Road in the north, passing through Jordan and Yau Ma Tei, and along Nathan Road from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui. But for more people, they know Nathan Road in the song "Nathan Road" released by Hong Zhuoli in 2008. The song tells the story of lovers reuniting on the bustling Nathan Road after breaking up. It's a long street, but the road between them has been exhausted, and they can only go their separate ways.
But for a tourist like me, my story only happens at the beginning and end of the song, which is "There are too many people and cars on the street, the bustling city In the sentence "People are drunk at night". Nathan Road has witnessed the prosperity of the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Harbor City is the largest shopping mall in West Kowloon District of Hong Kong. Needless to say, I almost always lived near Harbor City every time I went to Hong Kong. This time too, it is just for the convenience of shopping. Once we stayed at the Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel in Harbor City. My mother and I didn't leave Harbor City for the entire trip, because Harbor City already met all our shopping needs. This time I had already gone shopping in Tokyo, so I didn’t spend much time in Harbor City. However, compared with Chanel, which is also difficult to buy in Tokyo, I actually felt that the stores in Harbor City had more complete products.
What I want to talk about is K11 MUSEA, which was newly opened in 2019. This is my first time coming to Hong Kong after it opened. When I first met, I was amazed by K11 MUSEA. I always thought that MUSEA was taken from MUSEUM. Its interior is very beautiful and it really looks like a museum. I just found out the explanation and said that MUSEA means "Muse".
K11 MUSEA is located on the edge of Victoria Harbor in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is surrounded by a number of exhibition halls with different themes, spanning 10 floors, integrating retail, art, culture, entertainment and catering. , a shopping mall that is a complex. At K11 MUSEA, you can continue shopping.
You can also enjoy coffee. We saw many well-known coffees at K11 MUSEA, and many coffees that looked very tempting. However, we only stayed for one morning, so we chose the one from Japan. Omotesando Koffee (Omotesando is the English name of the famous Omotesando).
Omotesando Koffee is a famous coffee shop in Japan and has been rated as one of the best coffees in Tokyo by TimeOut. The K11 MUSEA store has an authentic Japanese feel, both in its decoration and in the taste of the coffee it produces. I like it very much and everyone can give it a try.
Gontran Cherrier, a well-known bakery on the same floor as coffee, has been recommended to me many times. Since I don't like bread recently, I almost don't eat it, but Judging from the huge queues in the store, friends who like to eat croissants should not miss it.
Next, I would like to recommend a restaurant in K11 MUSEA that I like very much, YUMMEE, a restaurant It also allows you to travel around the world. Bangkok's Jinbu Hua Minced Pork Rice, Kuala Lumpur's Fried Shrimp Gui Diao, Singapore's Seafood La Sala, etc... I live in Hong Kong and eat all over Southeast Asia. The restaurant not only has a good concept, but also tastes great.
Reminds me of Twins' Mandarin song "Around the World in Eighty Pieces"——
"Spread your palms for eighty coppers Head< span style="font-weight: bold;">Like a sudden bright light shooting out of a shopping mall and switching to the bank of the Ganges. I am a shellless egg yolk flowing freely"
"The Great Wall stretches like Seville Square, the lower station in Amsterdam and Seoul Just like a movie, the scenes can be changed at will The Bollywood scene is luxurious and romantic, giving me the happiness of a Persian flying carpet that never touches the groundThe snake charmer’s flute makes the bones of the earth become soft"
Look at the edge of this bowl, how interesting it is.
K11 MUSEA also has "Treasure Milk Tea" from Baodao upstairs. I don't think the taste is particularly outstanding, but the packaging is so cute.
Strawberry, pear, apple, orange, try this candlelight dinner with you, happiness is simpler than first love. ——Twins "Strawberry, Apple and Orange"
"Strawberry, Apple and Orange" is the first song that comes to my mind when I associate Hong Kong with food. Why is Twins so deeply rooted in my heart? However, this song with a cheerful melody tells the story of a girl who wants to "lose weight" for her sweetheart. Some people commented that this song is very sad, but I just think the nagging girls in the song are cute.
This has nothing to do with my food story in Hong Kong. After all, for me, eating delicious food is the simplest happiness.
ASOK Thai Garden
This Thai restaurant near Harbor City was my first meal in Hong Kong, and I settled in the hotel that night It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when we went out. I originally wanted to find a Cantonese restaurant in Harbor City, but I came across this Thai restaurant on the road. It was still bustling with people in the evening. It was almost last order and there were almost no seats inside. It must be very popular. We Go in quickly.
The Thai coconut chicken in this restaurant is the best coconut chicken soup I have ever tasted (just in the upper left corner of the picture below). I usually don’t like coconut products, but I almost didn’t eat it that night. On the contrary, this glass of milk green - a drink I must order in every Thai restaurant I go to - is mediocre.
Bakehouse
My evaluation of this bakery and dessert shop is that I want to eat delicious food in Hong Kong For egg tarts and those who want to buy souvenirs for home, you can give this store a try. Everything else I want to say is in the picture.
Dim Sum Library
When I usually come to Hong Kong, I have to find an authentic morning tea shop, the best There is a pushcart in the lobby. I didn’t prepare in advance this time, so I found this restaurant for dinner at Pacific Place. You can probably tell from the black truffle in the shrimp dumplings and the sea urchin on top of the crab meat spring rolls. It follows the style of creative Cantonese dim sum.
Fortunately, it tastes good! If you like high-end dim sum, you can choose this restaurant.
The cold current hit Hong Kong, and the car drove towards the end of the world, driving straight through, the car passed by the side of Baijia Road, the top of the mountain The world you see is glowing.
This top of the mountain is so noble, how can we stay there for a lifetime? Only a few couples build relationships on this scenery; how noble this top of the mountain is, how can we stay here for a lifetime? It seems to call people to step onto the ladder to heaven, with a high and high momentum, even if they are lost in love, it is still magnificent, as if the sea view will override everything.
——"On the Fenli Road"
As you can see from the lyrics of my post, I almost want to sing the whole song Put them all up, after all, "On the Fenli Road" is a song composed for Victoria Peak. Findlay Road is a road leading to Victoria Peak, a famous scenic spot in Hong Kong.
The sound of "fenli" is the same as "separation", which is cleverly played. "Lovers want to go to the top of the mountain together, but have to take the road of separation" has become the subtle meaning of the song "On the Road to Fenli".
I also have a close relationship with Victoria Peak. The last time I came to Hong Kong was after the college entrance examination. In order to relax me, my mother kept sharing with me a few days before the college entrance examination that she arranged to go to Hong Kong immediately after the exam. At that time, my mother also The Peak was mentioned, but I declined when she mentioned the cable car. I don’t like riding cable cars suspended in the air.
I heard the song "On Fenli Road" in college, and after taking the initiative to go to Victoria Peak during this trip to Hong Kong, I discovered that the so-called cable car only reaches the top of the mountain through a section of slope railway. On the cable car, I can watch countless high-rise buildings that can only be looked up from the ground behind me, and then disappear into the night.
The beauty of Victoria Peak in the song "On the Fenli Road" is worthy of its name. "Why do commercial buildings turn the night into gold, and why looking at the sea can make people feel comfortable", it is a beauty that can only be witnessed with one's own eyes.
Realizing my dream of Victoria Peak is the happiest thing about my trip to Hong Kong.
You can also see the mansions of many Hong Kong rich people from the Peak Tower Observation Deck. Nouns such as Victoria Peak and Barker Road have appeared in the novels I have read set in Hong Kong, or in the secrets of wealthy families from the past in Hong Kong on public accounts. But at this moment, they have truly become the lights of a thousand nights in front of me, and the mansions meandering in this precious mountain have turned into living legends.
If there is a world outside the gate, take a tram across the sea. ——"Under the Cherry Blossom Tree"
This is my favorite story during this trip to Hong Kong. On the evening of the second day in Hong Kong, my sister and I went to The Landmark to help my father check his watch. The Landmark is in Central, which is on the other side of the hotel where we are staying. , we took a taxi when we went there, and took the subway when we came back. The picture above is the subway station connected to Pacific Place that I took.
On the subway, I was closing my eyes and concentrating when my sister suddenly tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Now we are above Victoria Harbor." I suddenly realized that I was now "taking a tram across the sea."
Combined with the fact that our first stop on the other side that day was the Landmark, that is to say, I completed the song "Under the Cherry Blossom Tree" without any knowledge or prior arrangements.If there is a sky outside the earth, take a tram across the sea" plot.
Some people say that Hong Kong is a paradise for consumerism and a hell for romanticism. I agree with the first half of the sentence, but I also think Hong Kong is very romantic.
This is Hong Kong, a place where there are stories everywhere, a place where stories can happen everywhere. It is not only the solid ground under my feet, but also woven by the words, music, movies, etc. in the hands of countless literati.
After dinner, I took a walk along Victoria Harbor and found that I had reached the Avenue of Stars. Along the way, I could see the handprints of Ti Lung and David Chiang, my favorite Hong Kong martial arts superstars of the last century. I felt that Hong Kong was so romantic.
When my sister and I were walking on the street, Chungking Mansions came into view. I thought Hong Kong was so romantic.
It's like this is my first time to go to Victoria Peak, but I feel like I've been there countless times in "On the Fenli Road", and it was only in the end that I became immersed in it. So happy. Just like the story of "Under the Cherry Blossom Tree" happened just right.
My good friend and I also made an appointment to go to Hong Kong together. I think this is not a "check-in". After all, during this trip, I could see several of my friends in Cantonese Song when I walked a few steps on the street. I have heard of the place, but I don’t think it is a kind of “accidental encounter”. Maybe it should be called a “reunion”. I look forward to my next “journey along the way.”
