Uncovering Hong Kong’s Hidden Past: Bullet Holes, Movie Magic, and a Dash of the Unexpected
I love Hong Kong 💕
Transmitting Hong Kong from Japan
I’m KAORI, the Hong Kong poop story administrator.

Empress statue square
(Statue Square)
Have you ever been there?
I have been to and lived in Hong Kong many times.
I’ve passed by before
I have never explored slowly.
This is such a plaza.
This is where the bronze statue of Queen Victoria was erected in the 19th century.
(Currently relocated to Victoria Park)
It feels like an oasis in Central, surrounded by buildings such as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and the Bank of China.
Until the Star Ferry Terminal in Central was relocated to its current location, you could go through an underground passage to get to the ferry terminal, so I think I used to pass by it often, but now I don’t really go out of my way to go there anymore. .
The unfamiliar building towering in the background is a new commercial building called[The Henderson].
The building was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
It looks like it’s completed, but I wonder if it’s not open yet?
Since it was Sunday, the area was a pedestrian paradise.
This is because Sundays are open for Filipino amateurs (helpers) to gather together.
【Former Legislative Council Building】This may be the first time I’ve seen it up close.
Now that we’re this close, let’s look for something we’ve been curious about for a while…
there were!
I read on a website of a Hong Kong expert that there are apparently many bullet holes left during the war.
It wasn’t just here, it was everywhere.
The scenery at that time cannot be imagined from the current scenery of Hong Kong.
I felt the history.
Also, it’s a movie that I love.
“Men’s Elegy”
This is also where Chow Yun-Fat eats intestine powder at a food stall in the opening scene of the movie.
Well, I think they brought this stall for the movie.
This scene 💕
Oh, I would also like to visit movie locations.
