The Historical Significance and Vibrant Allure of the Hollywood Road Cultural District

Spring breeze accommodates everything. The historical significance and vibrant allure of the Hollywood Road cultural district in Hong Kong's Sheung Wan area are remarkable.   In the 1990s, the famous Taiwanese singer Lo Ta-yu sang "Queen's Road East, Queen's Road West," which became widely known, showcasing the keen observation of creative artists who captured the cultural essence of Hong Kong. Since then, I have personally explored Hollywood Road with a curious mind, gradually falling in love with its rich cultural and artistic atmosphere. A chance encounter with a British guest who was fond of Chinese stone-carved Buddha statues led me to act as a guide, helping him explore and...

Enhancing the Artistic and Cultural Appeal of Central Market in Hong Kong

Central Market in Hong Kong holds a long-standing history, dating back to the early 1840s when it began as a marketplace. The existing building, constructed in 1939, features a simple yet striking Baroque architectural style. After ceasing operations in the early 2000s, it underwent 18 years of planning and renovation before reopening two years ago, gradually emerging as a new landmark for arts and culture in Central, exuding a captivating charm!

The once bustling hubs of arts and culture, such as...

谁是江南第一才子？

我从事资优教育20多年，喜欢阅读伟人的故事，天才、神童、多才多艺的艺术家最吸引我呢！ 明·张灵绘，《唐伯虎像》。（Wikimedia Commons） 我相信最为香港人熟悉的江南才子，非明朝的唐伯虎莫属了。一来「唐伯虎点秋香」的事迹已成为普罗大众所津津乐道的佳话，无论是粤语长片或是粤剧戏曲都曾加以改编，搬上舞台。再者上世纪90年代，周星驰和巩俐将故事拍成电影，将之喜剧化和通俗化。唯观众也对唐伯虎产生另类印象，丑化了这位诗、书、画皆精的...
