Entertaining Children

Chapter 760 Hong Kong Island Tour

? The task of asking Lin Jingliang to be the art director has been successfully completed. After lunch, Xiao Yao bid farewell to Lin Jingliang and his wife.

Yang Shiyun came to play at her uncle's house today when she had nothing to do. She unexpectedly ran into Xiao Yao and accepted the task of entertaining Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao left, and of course Yang Shiyun also left with him. Yang Shiyun drove here by herself today, and the two of them walked together, which happened to be able to take Xiao Yao down the mountain, saving Xiao Yao from the trouble of calling a car or asking Lin Jingliang to see her off.

After bidding farewell to her uncle and aunt, Yang Shiyun entered the role of a tour guide when she set off to go down the mountain, asking about Xiao Yao's itinerary, and enthusiastically recommending several places to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao scoffed at Yang Shiyun's recommendations for worshiping Buddha on Lantau Island, eating seafood on Lamma Island, and visiting Disneyland.

Although he came from time travel, Xiao Yao doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. If you really want to worship Buddha, the famous mountains and rivers in the mainland are much more famous than Lantau Island in Hong Kong Island, and it is only a fool to climb the mountain under the sun at this time. As for seafood, Xiao Yao didn't feel it at all. Xiao Yao had eaten a lot of seafood in the north that suited his taste, so there was no need to come to the south to eat seafood. Disney? In the previous life, he was very interested, but in this life, Xiao Yao even went to Disneyland abroad, and he also went to the newly built one around Shencheng, and Xiao Yao didn't have much interest in the one on Hong Kong Island.

But when it comes to Hong Kong Island this time, there are still many places Xiao Yao wants to go. Influenced by Hong Kong films and dramas in the last century, many places on Hong Kong Island are very famous among mainlanders, such as Central, Temple Street, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Lan Kwai Fong, etc., which can be said to be very famous.

The last time Xiao Yao came to Hong Kong Island was with Chen Xuan several years ago. At that time, Xiao Yao was still underage, and he didn't dare to run around alone. Chen Xuan was a teacher, not a nanny, and he didn't want to take Xiao Yao for a stroll, so he didn't go to many places. After completing his mission on Hong Kong Island this time, Xiao Yao really planned to take a good stroll.

The mid-level villa area where Lin Jingliang lives is located between the peak of Victoria Peak and Central. After going down the mountain, you will be in Central. To the east of Central is Wanchai, and then north to Kowloon through the Hung Hom Tunnel. Lan Kwai Fong, where Xiao Yao wants to go, is in Central, Causeway Bay belongs to Wan Chai, and Temple Street is in Kowloon, not too far apart.

But most of these places are interesting to go to at night. It was not long after noon, and it was still early. Xiao Yao looked at the map on his mobile phone, and asked Yang Shiyun to send him to Stanley, the southernmost point of Hong Kong Island, and take him to see the Stanley Fort.

Yang Shiyun's task is to be Xiao Yao's tour guide. Xiao Yao was going to Stanley to see the historical buildings, and she didn't feel anything wrong, so she took Xiao Yao there as soon as the steering wheel was turned.

Yang Shiyun once went to study in the UK for a few years, but only after graduating from high school. In her heart, she should still be considered a native of Hong Kong Island. After arriving at Stanley and taking Xiao Yao to the fort, Yang Shiyun wanted to make a good use of it and tell Xiao Yao the history of the fort.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Yao, a native of Yanjing, would know more about the history of Stanley Fort than she, a native of Hong Kong Island, made her, a tour guide, feel a deep sense of frustration.

It was only later that I remembered that I heard Mr. Li Yu say that Xiao Yao was a famous talented student in the Mainland last year, a top student in the art examination of a film and television academy, not only won the top score in the college entrance examination in Yanjing City, but also won an ancient poetry competition The champion of the show, who has a lot of knowledge, felt a little better after this incident.

Stanley is located at the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island. After visiting Stanley, it is not too early. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Yang Shiyun proposed to invite Xiao Yao to a very famous restaurant on Hong Kong Island for dinner. When Xiao Yao heard that the restaurant Yang Shiyun mentioned was a Michelin-certified star restaurant in Central, he immediately shook his head and asked Yang Shiyun to drive through the Hung Hom Tunnel and go directly to Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon for snacks.

Temple Street is a very distinctive street on Hong Kong Island and the most famous night market on Hong Kong Island. When the two arrived, night had just fallen, and it was the bustling time for the opening of the night market.

In Temple Street, Xiao Yao stopped showing off his knowledge, and told Yang Shiyun, a native of Hong Kong Island, about the history of Temple Street. Because of walking along this road, Xiao Yao twitched his index finger when he saw the special food on the side of the road, and he didn't stop talking, so he didn't have the time to show her any historical knowledge.

Although she didn't hear Xiao Yao explain the history to her, Yang Shiyun who brought Xiao Yao to Temple Street still felt quite shocked.

As a popular little star in the music scene and a cutting-edge director with a box office of several billion, Yang Shiyun doubts whether Xiao Yao, a big star from the mainland, can adapt to the seemingly chaotic environment of Temple Street. Unexpectedly, not only did Xiao Yao not have any dislike for the snacks on the roadside stalls at all, he ate them more happily than a Hong Kong native, but he could also speak fluent Cantonese to bargain with the roadside vendors.

Yang Shiyun knew that Xiao Yao had written songs in Cantonese, and also knew that Xiao Yao could speak Cantonese, but watching Xiao Yao squatting on the side of the road and bargaining with street vendors in Cantonese for dozens of things completely overturned Xiao Yao's image in her heart .

She doesn't even need to do things like bargaining for things like buying things. Yang Shiyun, who is a tour guide, was surprised and felt a deep sense of frustration once again. She felt lost in a very lively place.

I don't know if Yang Shiyun was lucky or Xiao Yao was unlucky. Xiao Yao didn't manage to visit the whole Temple Street this time. Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun entered from Zhongfang Street, the southern end of Temple Street. Halfway through, they found a lot of people surrounded in front of them, blocking the road and making it impossible to pass. As the most distinctive street on Hong Kong Island, many movies on Hong Kong Island will be filmed in Temple Street. Seeing some crane arms raised in the air, Xiao Yao knew without asking, that this was a coincidence that the crew was filming on this street.

In the 1980s and 1990s, both movies and dramas on Hong Kong Island were extremely brilliant. However, after entering the new century, Hong Kong films began to decline, and the drama series persisted for more than ten years, and the current influence in the mainland is not as good as before. Now the talented and well-known film and television talents in Hong Kong Island are all going north to the mainland to seek development, and local movies and dramas can be regarded as struggling.

Xiao Yao inquired about it, and found that the crew was a local crew in Hong Kong Island, not even a movie crew, but a TV drama crew of a wireless station. From the director to the starring role, he had never heard of it. Even the interest of onlookers is gone.

Because of filming, almost half of the street was temporarily closed, so Xiao Yao didn't have to go shopping.

Noticing that Yang Shiyun doesn't seem to like to eat roadside stalls, Xiao Yao asked Yang Shiyun to find a clean tea restaurant, and they left Temple Street after a serious dinner.

Temple Street is located in Yau Ma Tei. Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui together form the most prosperous and famous "Yau Tsim Mong" area in Kowloon. This name has also appeared countless times in Hong Kong movies and is deeply imprinted in Xiao Yao's mind. Now that you're here, it's natural to take a stroll.

Yau Ma Tei has a long history and has a more local flavor than Mong Kok. People here largely maintain the traditional lifestyle of Hong Kong Island, and it is a place to explore the old life of Hong Kong Island. The Temple Street where Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun visited is in Yau Ma Tei. After dinner, the two of them went out for a walk in Yau Ma Tei. It was not only to digest food, but also to experience the traditional lifestyle and old life of Hong Kong Islanders. As for Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, it is just to drive around, which is what Hong Kong people call "Che River".

The route of "Chehe River" starts from Yau Ma Tei, and after a stroll in "Yau Tsim Mong", it goes back to Hong Kong Island through the tunnel, then the old districts of Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, all the way from west to east, all the way to Central.

Yau Tsim Mong, Causeway Bay, Wanchai, and Central are all bustling commercial districts. In Xiao Yao's view, the prosperity of these places is prosperity, but compared with the emerging CBDs of the super-first-tier cities in the mainland, such as Yan, Shen, Yang, and Shenzhen, they seem to be the same. Xiao Yao is definitely not interested in the behavior of visiting commercial buildings, so Xiao Yao let Yang Shiyun drive around in the car most of the time, just look around in the car, and rarely get out of the car and walk.

Throughout the night, Xiao Yao had very limited places to get off the car and walk around. In Kowloon, the only places Xiao Yao wandered on foot were Temple Street where he had dinner and other old streets in Yau Ma Tei near Temple Street where he took a walk to eliminate food. After crossing Hong Kong Island, Xiao Yao got off the car and walked to only two places. One was Lee Tung Street in Wanchai District, and the last one was Lan Kwai Fong in Central.

Lee Tung Street, commonly known as Wedding Invitation Street and Printing Street, is a famous printing production and sales center on Hong Kong Island. Xiao Yao knew this place not from Hong Kong movies or dramas, but because of a Cantonese song by Hong Kong singer Anqi Xie in her previous life. There is no Xie Anqi in this world, and there is no such song, but Xiao Yao checked and found that Hong Kong Island in this world also has such a street, even the name and common name are the same, so he naturally wanted to take a look.

Walking on Lidong Street, Xiao Yao no longer became a teacher who popularized knowledge, but became a studious student, and kept asking Yang Shiyun about the story of this street.

Like the previous life, this street has a long history and has also undergone reconstruction. It has a different meaning among Hong Kong people, and it naturally has a story. This street carries the emotions of many people on Hong Kong Island, including Yang Shiyun who is next to Xiao Yao, because when Yang Shiyun's parents got married, wedding invitations and other printed materials were ordered in the shops on this street.

When Xiao Yao asked about this street, Yang Shiyun really had a lot to introduce to Xiao Yao. It wasn't until this time that Yang Shiyun finally felt like a tour guide. She not only told the history of this street, how her parents ordered wedding invitations on this street, but also told many stories that she had heard. He talked endlessly in front of him.

After shopping on Lee Tung Street, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, which seemed a bit late, but for a city with rich nightlife like Hong Kong Island, it was not too late at all. This time also happened to be the golden time for Xiao Yao to go to the last stop.

Xiao Yao's last stop was Lan Kwai Fong in Central.

Lan Kwai Fong is a mid-to-high-end consumer area consisting of several streets in Central that gathers many bars and restaurants. It is almost equivalent to a bar street in many cities in the mainland. It’s just that with the popularity of Hong Kong movies and dramas in the last century, this place has become very famous. It is not only popular with the local young generation and foreigners in Hong Kong Island, but also a place for tourists visiting Hong Kong. It has become a special tourist attraction on Hong Kong Island.

Generally speaking, as long as it becomes a tourist attraction with a large number of people, it will not give Xiao Yao too many surprises. However, Hong Kong Island is slightly better than the mainland. It is not the peak tourist season, and here is a gathering place for bars, which is a cultural attraction.

Playing all afternoon and half the night, Xiao Yao didn't want to go to those famous and lively bars and clubs, so he specially asked Yang Shiyun to choose a bar that is more distinctive and slightly less crowded, mainly locals go, that's it. In order to truly feel the charm of Lan Kwai Fong.

Yang Shiyun chose a bar called "Cora". This is a clean bar, the place is not big, there is no loud disco music and hot dancers, mainly light music, there is also a small stage in the bar, with live band performances. After taking Xiao Yao in, Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly to express his satisfaction.

Xiao Yao has been to quite a few bars. Although this bar has its own characteristics, it did not surprise Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao is just going to sit down, drink a glass of wine, listen to music, and relax. The environment is good, not noisy, Xiao Yao is very satisfied.

When the two were drinking and resting, there happened to be a band performing on the stage of the bar. When Xiao Yao was not drinking and chatting with Yang Shiyun, he listened distractedly. After listening to the performance of two bands and a singer for almost half an hour, Xiao Yao couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

Lan Kwai Fong is very famous. Even if this bar is not the best bar in Lan Kwai Fong, it should be very good to open here. However, Xiao Yao feels that the resident singers here are not as good as the resident band he met in a bar he randomly found in Xi'an a few years ago. Although the band that was said to be signing a record company didn't seem to be popular, at least judging from the level of live performances, the band whose name I don't remember can definitely beat the resident singer in this bar of.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt that in addition to the risk of talent shortage in film and television, it seemed that Hong Kong Island's music talents were also in danger of being in short supply!

With such emotions, Xiao Yao unconsciously changed from shaking his head in his heart to really shaking his head.

Yang Shiyun is also a singer, and she also feels that the resident singers in the bar are not flattering. Seeing Xiao Yao shaking his head, he urged Xiao Yao to say: "Senior, do you think they can't sing well? Why don't you go up and show off?"

"Me?" Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to his nose.

"What's the matter?" Yang Shiyun said, "Don't you speak Cantonese? You can also sing in Cantonese! I know you sang in bars secretly before, and there are videos online, I've seen it!"

"Not interested!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "I've been playing all day and I'm tired, let's go!"

"Oh!" Yang Shiyun didn't force herself, she got up and left with Xiao Yao.

"Senior, the car is over there!" After going out, Yang Shiyun saw that Xiao Yao was turning in the wrong direction, and quickly reminded her.

"That's right, I still have one place to go!" Xiao Yao turned back and smiled.

"Where else are we going?" Yang Shiyun could only follow Xiao Yao.

"I found it," Xiao Yao walked to the beginning of a slope, patted a red metal railing in the middle of the road, and turned to Yang Shiyun behind him, "Okay, we can go back! From here Shall we go to the parking lot?"

"What are you?" Yang Shiyun looked at Xiao Yao puzzled, and asked tentatively, "Just to take pictures of this railing?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yao nodded, "When I was young, watching Hong Kong movies and dramas, it seemed that whenever Lan Kwai Fong appeared, this railing would appear. At that time, I made a wish in my heart that I must come to Lan Kwai Fong and lie on this railing." Spit on the railing! In my heart, coming to the bars in Lan Kwai Fong is not considered to have been to Lan Kwai Fong. This railing is the symbol of Lan Kwai Fong. I don’t want to drink and vomit today, so I pat this railing. My wish has been fulfilled!"
