Hong Kong 香港 Old Central 中環

Vigorous and vibrant, Central has always been Hong Kong’s business hub. It’s hard to find any place in the world that has undergone so many transformations, but at heart Central is still the same. Long before the shophouses were replaced by skyscrapers, this was a place of trade: fabrics, prints, chops, herbal teas and noodles; anything had a price in the small streets and little laneways of old Central. Memories live on in the street names of the past. 過去百多年雖然經歷過無數變遷,中環一直是香港的金融及商業中心。在唐樓換上摩天商廈以前,這個地區已孕育着各行各業:布料、印刷、圖章、涼茶、蛋類、粉麵、大排檔等,應有盡有。在舊中環的橫街窄巷裡總會找到一買一賣,不同行業相互支撐,街道熙來攘往。今天透過昔日的地標和街道,以及屹立不倒的老店和建築,仍可懷緬一番。
