Hong Kong 香港 Causeway Bay 銅鑼灣

Causeway Bay is the epitome of urban reincarnation. No other area in Hong Kong has so successfully and radically reinvented itself as this prime shopping district. Long known as ‘East Point’ this once was Hong Kong’s version of the docklands with factories, depots and warehouses. In the 1920s the bay transformed into a popular entertainment district packed with restaurants, theatres and the Lee Garden amusement park high up on East Point Hill. The hill was flattened after the war, but its joyful spirit never left. Even though many of the old movie theatres, night markets and Japanese department stores have long been replaced by commercial malls and hotels, Causeway Bay will always be Hong Kong’s heart for fun and leisure. 銅鑼灣過去不斷演變，成為香港獨一無二的購物消遣地段。開阜初期，「東角」盡是洋行的碼頭、工廠、倉庫。二十世紀初，利園遊樂場和周邊食肆將利園山逐漸變成大眾化的娛樂熱點。戰後山頭雖被夷平，戲院、夜市、百貨公司紛紛湧現，歌舞昇平。直到今天，商場和酒店林立的銅鑼灣仍然是香港購物與消閒熱點。
