End of an era : The Excelsior 一個時代的終結
香港怡東酒店座落銅鑼灣海傍超過40年。最近聽說今年3月底將會拆卸， 重建商業大廈。 怡東酒店是英國殖民地遺留下來一個重要地標。隨著時代變遷，它成為金錢世界中另一件犧牲品。以前在香港工作時，年輕又沒負擔，經常會到怡東酒店的中菜廳吃晚飯。那裡彷彿已成為我倆的飯堂。 知道酒店將會拆卸真有點不捨。 The Excelsior Hotel at Causeway Bay in Hong Kong has been around since 1973 and is…
Tram ride in Hong Kong
“叮叮” 是香港電車的暱稱， 更是香港港島區從連貫東西區不可缺少的一部分。 不論遠近車程只需$2.6 港幣，絕對是在香港”遊車河” 的好節目。 在影片中，我從中環出發經過匯豐總行到灣仔舊區，然後到達港島著名購物中心和飲食天堂的銅鑼灣。 香港美麗的夜景從電車上看又是另一番風味。 The tram ride is an integral part of Hong Kong and a…
Oasis within the city 鬧市中的綠洲志蓮淨苑
OASIS WITHIN THE CITY 香港近年長期霧霾彌漫， 蔚藍天空是稀客 。 難得有一日， 天朗氣清，碧空如洗， 我剛好到志蓮淨苑和南蓮園池一遊。 志蓮淨苑是仿唐風格建築， 寺廟和大堂都以檜木建造，特色是全沒用上一口釘子， 絕對是巧妙絕倫的建築方法。 大雄殿是志蓮淨苑的主寶殿， 門外種了幾棵日式盆栽， 還有一座很大的蓮花香爐，睛空下構成了一張沁人心脾的圖畫。從志蓮淨苑走過行人天橋便到南蓮園池。這裡小橋流水， 山明水秀， 縱使旁邊矗立着高樓，但仍然能感到身處於鬧市中的綠洲。 Hong Kong…
