Chapter 760: Hong Kong Island Tour

The task of inviting Lin Jingliang to serve as art director has been successfully accomplished. After lunch, Xiao Yao said goodbye to Lin Jingliang and his wife.

Yang Shiyun came to her uncle's house to play when she had nothing to do today, but she didn't expect to meet Xiao Yao unexpectedly and accepted the task of entertaining Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao said goodbye, and Yang Shiyun of course followed along. Yang Shiyun came by herself today, and the two of them walked together, just so that they could take Xiao Yao down the mountain, so as to avoid the trouble of Xiao Yao calling a taxi or letting Lin Jingliang send it.

After saying goodbye to her uncle and aunt, when she set off to go down the mountain, Yang Shiyun entered the role of a tour guide, asked Xiao Yao about his itinerary, and recommended a few places to Xiao Yao with great interest.

Xiao Yao scoffed at Yang Shiyun's recommendation of worshipping Buddha on Lantau Island, eating seafood on Lamma Island, and playing Disney.

Although he traveled through time, Xiao Yao didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. If you really want to worship the Buddha, the famous mountains and rivers in the mainland are much more famous than Lantau Island on Hong Kong Island, so a fool can climb the mountain under the sun at this time. As for seafood, Xiao Yao didn't feel it, Xiao Yao had already eaten a lot of seafood that met his taste in the north, so there was no need to come to the south to eat seafood. Disney was very interested in his previous life, but in this life, Xiao Yao has even visited Disney abroad, and the newly built one around Shencheng has not been less, and Xiao Yao is not much interested in the one on Hong Kong Island.

However, when it comes to Hong Kong Island this time, Xiao Yao still wants to go to a lot of places. 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 and so on.

Xiao Yao's last visit to Hong Kong Island was several years ago with Chen Xuan. 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 to hang out, so he didn't go to many places. After coming to Hong Kong Island to complete the task this time, Xiao Yao really planned to take a good look.

The Mid-Levels villa where Lam lives is located between the Peak of Victoria Peak and Central, after the mountain is Central, the east of Central is Wan Chai, and then north through the Hung Hom Tunnel is Kowloon. Lan Kwai Fong, where Xiao Yao wants to go, is in Central, Causeway Bay belongs to Wan Chai, and Temple Street is in Kowloon, which is not too far apart.

However, most of these places are interesting to visit at night. It was just after noon, and it was still early, Xiao Yao looked at the map on his phone, and asked Yang Shiyun to send him to Stanley, the southernmost point of Hong Kong Island, and take him to see 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 with her as soon as the steering wheel turned.

Yang Shiyun once went to the UK to study for a few years, and only went out after graduating from high school. In her heart, she should be a native of Hong Kong Island. After arriving at Stanley and taking Xiao Yao to the fort, Yang Shiyun wanted to give a good play and tell Xiao Yao about the history of the fort, but she didn't expect Xiao Yao, a Yanjing native, to tell the history of the Stanley fort better than her, a Hong Kong Islander, which made her, a tour guide, feel a deep sense of frustration.

It wasn't until later that I remembered that I heard Mr. Li Yu say in the show last year that Xiao Yao was a famous genius in the mainland, the champion of the art examination of a film and television school, not only won the top prize in the college entrance examination in Yanjing City, but also won the champion of an ancient poetry competition program, and the fact that he was quite knowledgeable, did he feel a little better.

Stanley is located at the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island, and it is not too early to go to Stanley and come back. 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. As soon as Xiao Yao heard that Yang Shiyun's restaurant 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 a snack.

Temple Street is one of the most distinctive streets on Hong Kong Island and the most prestigious night market on Hong Kong Island. When the two arrived, night had just fallen, and it was the time when the night market opened.

In Temple Street, Xiao Yao did not show off his knowledge anymore, and told Yang Shiyun, a Hong Kong Islander, about the history of Temple Street. Because of this walk, Xiao Yao moved his index finger when he saw the special food on the roadside, and his mouth did not stop, and he didn't have the time to show her any historical knowledge at all.

Although she didn't hear Xiao Yao tell her about history, Yang Shiyun, who brought Xiao Yao to Temple Street, still felt a lot of shock.

As a popular little king of the music scene and a cutting-edge director with a box office of billions, Yang Shiyun is very skeptical that Xiao Yao, a big star in the mainland, can adapt to the seemingly chaotic environment of Temple Street. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao not only didn't have any dislike for the snacks on the roadside stalls at all, but she was happier than her, a Hong Kong Islander, and she could actually bargain with the roadside vendors in fluent Cantonese.

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

Yang Shiyun, as a tour guide, was surprised, and once again felt a deep sense of frustration, and just wanted to pull Xiao Yao to leave this lively place that made her feel extremely lost.

I don't know if Yang Shiyun was lucky or Xiao Yao was unlucky, Xiao Yao couldn't finish the entire temple street this time. Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun entered from Zhongfang Street at the southern end of Temple Street, and when they were halfway through, they found that there were a lot of people in front of them, blocking the road and making it impossible to walk. As one of the most distinctive streets on Hong Kong Island, many movies on Hong Kong Island will be filmed on Temple Street. Seeing some booms raised into the air, Xiao Yao didn't need to ask to know that this was the time when the crew was filming on this street.

In the eighties and nineties of the last century, whether it was Hong Kong Island movies or dramas, they were incomparably brilliant. But after entering the new century, Hong Kong films began to decline, and the dramas persisted for more than ten years, and the current influence in the mainland is not as good as before. Now that talented and well-known film and television talents on Hong Kong Island are heading north to the mainland to seek development, local films and dramas can be regarded as struggling.

Xiao Yao inquired and found that this crew was a local crew on 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, Xiao Yao didn't even have the interest to watch.

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

Noticing that Yang Shiyun didn't seem to like eating roadside stalls, and she barely ate anything when she was shopping just now, Xiao Yao asked Yang Shiyun to find a clean tea restaurant, and the two of them had a serious dinner before leaving Temple Street.

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

Yau Ma Tei has a long history and is more local than Mong Kok. The people here have largely maintained the traditional way of life on Hong Kong Island, and it is a place of inquiry into the old life of Hong Kong Island. Xiao Yao and Yang Shiyun walked on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, and the two came out to walk in Yau Ma Tei after dinner, which was not only to consume food, but also to feel the traditional lifestyle and old life of Hong Kong Island people. As for Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, it is to drive a car for a stroll, which is the so-called "car river" on Hong Kong Island.

The route starts from Yau Ma Tei, and after a walk around Yau Tsim Mong, it travels through the tunnel back to Hong Kong Island, then Causeway Bay and Wan Chai Old Town, all the way from west to east to Central.

Yau Tsim Mong, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, and Central are all bustling commercial districts. In Xiao Yao's view, these places are prosperous, but compared with the emerging CBD of Yan, Shen, Yang, and Shenzhen in the mainland, which are super first-tier cities, it seems to be just like that. This kind of behavior of visiting a commercial building is definitely not interesting to Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao spends most of his time letting Yang Shiyun drive the car around in a circle, just look in the car, and rarely get out of the car and walk.

Throughout the night, Xiao Yao had very limited places to get out of the car and hang out on foot. In Kowloon, Xiao Yao walked around only Temple Street where he had dinner and other old streets in Yau Ma Tei near Temple Street where he walked and eaten. After crossing Hong Kong Island, Xiao Yao got out of the car and walked to only two places, one was Lee Tung Street in Wan Chai District, and the last one was Lan Kwai Fong in Central.

Lee Tung Street, commonly known as Wedding Cards Street and Printing Street, is a well-known place for printing and retail production on Hong Kong Island. Xiao Yao knew about this place, not because he heard about it from Hong Kong films or Hong Kong dramas, but because of a Cantonese song by Hong Kong Island singer Xie Anqi in his previous life. There is no Xie Anqi in this world, and there is no song, but Xiao Yao checked it and found that there is such a street on Hong Kong Island in this world, and even the name and common name are the same, so he naturally wanted to come and see it.

Walking on Lidong Street, Xiao Yao did not become a teacher of popularizing knowledge, but became a diligent and inquisitive 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, which has a different meaning among Hong Kong Island people, and naturally has a story. This street carries the emotions of many Hong Kong Island people, including Yang Shiyun next to Xiao Yao, because when Yang Shiyun's parents got married, prints such as wedding cards were ordered in the shops on this street.

When Xiao Yao asked about this street, Yang Shiyun really had a lot of things to introduce to Xiao Yao. It was not until this time that Yang Shiyun finally felt like a tour guide, not only told the history of this street, the fact that her parents ordered a wedding card on this street, but also told a lot of stories she had heard, and talked endlessly in front of Xiao Yao with her eyebrows raised.

After walking around Lee Tung Street, it was already past 10 p.m., which may seem a little late, but for a city like Hong Kong Island with a rich nightlife, it is not too late at all. This time also happens 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 shopping district with many bars and restaurants in Central, which is almost the same as the bar street in many mainland cities. It's just that with the popularity of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas in the last century, this place is very famous, not only popular with the local young generation and foreigners on Hong Kong Island, but also a place for tourists to visit Hong Kong, and has become a characteristic 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 it is a gathering place for bars, which is a cultural attraction, unlike the natural attractions, which are crowded and can still be entered.

After playing for an afternoon and half a night, Xiao Yao didn't want to go to those famous and lively bars and clubs, so he deliberately asked Yang Shiyun to choose a bar that was more distinctive and slightly less crowded, mainly for locals, saying that this is how he can really feel the charm of Lan Kwai Fong.

Yang Shiyun chose a bar called "Cora". It's a small place, no noisy disco music and hot dancing girls, mainly light music, and a small stage in the bar with live bands. After taking Xiao Yao in, Xiao Yao nodded again and again to express satisfaction.

Xiao Yao has been to a lot of bars. Although this bar is distinctive, it is not to the point of surprising Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao is just going to sit down and have a glass of wine, listen to music, and rest and relax. The environment is good, not noisy or noisy, Xiao Yao is very satisfied.

While the two were taking a break from drinking, there was a band on the stage of the bar. Xiao Yao was not drinking and chatting with Yang Shiyun, but he was also distracted and listened attentively. After listening to the performance of two bands and a singer for almost half an hour, Xiao Yao couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Lan Kwai Fong is very famous, and even if this bar is not the best in Lan Kwai Fong, it should be very good to be able to open here. But Xiao Yao felt that the resident singers here were not as good as the resident band he met in a random bar in Xi'an a few years ago. Although the band that is said to be going to sign for a record company doesn't seem to be able to catch fire, at least judging from the level of live performances, the band that doesn't remember its name can definitely beat the resident singer in this bar.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt that in addition to the risk of talent disconnection in film and television, it seems that Hong Kong Island's musical talents are also in danger of not being available!

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

Yang Shiyun is also a singer, and she also feels that the level of the resident singer in the bar is not flattering. Seeing Xiao Yao shaking his head, he pouted Xiao Yao and said, "Senior, do you think they don't sing well?"

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

"What's wrong?" Yang Shiyun said, "Don't you know Cantonese? You can also sing in Cantonese! I know you've secretly sung in bars before, and there are videos on the Internet, I've seen them!"

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

"Oh!" Yang Shiyun was not reluctant, and 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 hurriedly reminded.

"That's right, I still haven't gotten to go!" Xiao Yao looked back and smiled.

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

"Found it," Xiao Yao walked to the beginning of a slope, patted a red metal railing in the middle of the road, and turned back to Yang Shiyun behind him, "Okay, we can go back!

"What are you?" Yang Shiyun looked at Xiao Yao in confusion and asked tentatively, "Just to shoot this railing?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded, "When I used to watch Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong dramas when I was a child, it seemed that as long as Lan Kwai Fong appeared, this railing would appear. I made a wish in my heart at that time, I must come to Lan Kwai Fong and vomit on this railing! In my heart, coming to the bar in Lan Kwai Fong is not like coming to Lan Kwai Fong, this railing is the symbol of Lan Kwai Fong. I don't want to vomit today, so a pat on this railing will be considered my wish!"
