Greater Bay Area

Standing on the overpass and looking over, Saint Teresa's Church, which has been standing on Prince Edward Road for nearly a century, is hidden in a sea of fish trees and flowers, with milky yellow flower balls hanging all over the tree crown. Travelers are all indulging in this spring scenery, and Shiqing from Shenzhen is one of them. She "checks in" with friends under the tree, excited to capture the "limited romance" that belongs to Hong Kong. "In fact, Hong Kong not only has Hong Kong style signs and bustling streets, but also many cultural corners." On this day, Shiqing plans to take a spring urban cultural stroll with friends during the May Day holiday. The picture shows the "Neon Continuation" exhibition held at the Hong Kong Coliseum, showcasing Hong Kong's unique and distinct visual culture through iconic neon light stories. On the way to the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Shiqing said that, like many "residents of the Greater Bay Area", she had traveled to Hong Kong several times, and knew well about traditional tourist areas such as Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, etc. "Every time she came, she used to buy a lot of cosmetics, facial mask, and help relatives and friends buy all kinds of plasters and milk powder". After the epidemic, the world connectivity has resumed, and changes are quietly happening. The widespread online shopping services have made the prices of cosmetics and luxury goods in Hong Kong no longer attractive, and imported products can also be delivered to the door. This has made the demand for Shiqing to come to Hong Kong for shopping disappear by a large margin. Under the pressure of fast-paced work in the Internet industry, what Shiqing needs is a relaxed travel mode - walking around, tasting local food and feeling the humanistic customs. "I really like the old buildings in Hong Kong, full of the flavor of time." Shiqing felt that walking on the road, passing by the old Yau Ma Tei Police Station and Temple Street, and then moving towards Victoria Harbour along Nathan Road, it was as if walking through the Hong Kong films she had seen before. "That's it." Looking in the direction of Shiqing's fingers, it is an art installation with the theme of "birthday" in the art museum. 366 red "birthday mailboxes" are stacked together, allowing everyone to draw birthday cards for each other they have never met before. This is the "check-in" guide she found on a trendy social app. The picture shows the Central Street Market New Year's Eve Market, with a 5-meter-high Dahonghua sign and specialty stalls promoting the "Dada Di" characteristic culture. "Culture is the root and soul of a city, and a strong humanistic sentiment has always been a characteristic of Hong Kong, which is also why I like Hong Kong." Shi Qing noticed that in recent years, Hong Kong's cultural and creative industry has developed rapidly, and the most valuable thing is that Hong Kong has presented a unique international urban style through curation techniques, operational models, and other means. For example, at the M+Museum, what impressed me the most was the unlimited admission with daily tickets, which shows the city's emphasis on culture and art. For lunch, I chose the famous Jiuji beef brisket from across the sea to Central, and the waiting line extended several tens of meters to one side of the stone staircase. The diners spoke Japanese, Korean, and English, coming from all corners of the world. The Korean girl Baomei, who was in the front row, was traveling with her sister and parents. She raised her phone and framed the small shop along with alleyways, old buildings, and nearby street stalls in the photo. She believes that this time, in addition to trying Dim sum, boat noodles, chezai noodles and other delicacies, she plans to experience Chinese tea ceremony culture in a teahouse located in Causeway Bay, which is "planted" by a Korean actor who came to Hong Kong earlier
