[HongKong] 深水埗,美荷樓 (Mei Ho House) & 嘉頓山夜景 (Garden Hill)





深水埗,有點像是香港的舊城區,從地鐵站出來,四周遍佈上面照片中的小攤位,販售各式各樣的物品,可能是便宜的衣服,有二手手機,還有一些像是跳蚤市場般的二手舊物,算是個有點有趣的街區,可以來此走走;比較新的,倒是看到許多賣手機的商家,或許就像是台北的通訊行集散地,來此應該可以買到比較便宜的價格吧!
Sham Shui Po, you may say it's the old town of Hong Kong. It looks old and have a lot of small stores showed on the above photos. You may find some interesting things or some old things here. And also some new things, there are many smart phone stores. I guess which may be cheaper than the downtown Hong Kong.






往東北方走個十分鐘左右,就可以抵達美荷樓,美荷樓以前就是香港的公共房屋,且現在裡面有美荷生活館在展示當年的生活場景,可以一窺當年居民的生活,只可惜,我是在週一來到這兒,它只在週二到週日開放,沒能進去瞧瞧。
現在,其也做為青年旅館(YHA)供旅客住宿,雖然離較繁華的尖沙咀,中環遠一點,應該也還算方便,只是若有大行李箱,要在馬路上拖行十分鐘才能來到此,可能會稍微累一點,但至少房價應該可以便宜不少。
Mei Ho House, formerly part of Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong, is the last remaining example of a "Mark II" building in a single-block configuration. While the other buildings of the estate dating from the 1950s have been demolished, being replaced by new ones, Mei Ho House was chosen to be preserved. Now it's a YHA, if you're not so care about the transportation time, I think here will be a cheap place to stay. It's also opened for public from Tuesday to Sunday. Unfortunately, I went here on Monday, so there are no more photos.


就在大門旁,沿著晨運徑往山上走,就可以爬上嘉頓山,建議在日落前約一小時來即可,爬上山頂可能需要15~20分鐘,再觀察,試拍一下,這樣的時間應該是差不多的,雖然有些許人潮也會來此賞景,但不算多,不用特地來占位。
Just next to the main gate of Mei Ho House, there is a sign point out the path up hill. This is the path to go up to the Garden Hill for a nice view of Sham Shui Po.






放眼望去,這些高樓並不是中環那些辦公用的高樓大廈,而是一般香港居民,可能花費三分之一月薪才能租一個小房間的公寓或是唐樓,這些大樓,可能密密麻麻地住了不知多少人。
These buildings are apartments or tong lau. The Hong Kong citizens may spend one-third of their monthly salary to stay in a small room. It's hard to imagine how many people lived in those buildings. 










有人說,太平山頂的夜景,是豪宅與商業大廈,是屬於遊客的,深水埗的嘉頓山夜景,是公屋,唐樓及舊區,是屬於香港人的;對我來說,這兒是更有活力的夜景~
Some people are says that to see the night view at the Peak, you'll see the skyscrapers from those rich people. That belongs to the tourists. Here, the Garden Hill at Sham Shui Po. You'll see the old apartments and tong lau which belongs to the poor people, where only the citizens may know. For me, here has the night view with more energetic.
