Chapter 55: The Star Ferry VS the Ship

The three of them sat on a two-story medium-sized pleasure boat known as the "Star Ferry", slowly sailing along the tour route of Victoria Harbour, Chen Xiangning was next to Zhao Yili, taking pictures of the beautiful Victoria Harbour landscape with his camera from time to time, and then took the time to turn around and listen to Hou Dezhu and Zhao Yili chatting on the side.

Hou Dezhu is a standard Hong Kong aborigine, since he was a child in the vicinity of Victoria Harbour grew up, naturally familiar can not be more familiar, a lot of Victoria Harbour and port city allusions, naturally familiar, when the boat walked for half an hour, Hou Dezhu's more detailed explanation of Victoria Harbour than the bow of the boat speaking substandard Mandarin tour guide, and even attracted a lot of tourists who came to Hong Kong with a group to listen to him talk about the history and allusions of Victoria Harbour.

According to Hou Dezhu, his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, several generations have lived here, Victoria Harbour is more than 10,000 years ago, or an extension of the mainland mountain range, and later due to the continuous mountain breaks, sinking and sea invasion, Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula were separated, forming today's Victoria Harbour, Victoria Harbour has three main access waterways, but also the gateway into the port city, and the origin of the name of Victoria Harbour is from the Eagle Country, the Eagle Country people occupied Hong Kong Island in 1841, in 1860, About 20 years later, after occupying the Kowloon Peninsula, in April of the same year, the Eagle Nation named Victoria Harbour, a natural deep-water port located between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, after their queen, which has a history of more than 100 years.

The corresponding small and medium-sized ferry, which is used to visit Victoria Harbour, has a history of more than 100 years since 1880. The ferry started from Tsim Sha Tsui, passed through Central, Wan Chai, and then turned around from Hung Hom and returned to the starting point of Tsim Sha Tsui.

Seeing that the interest of the two people was not too high, Assistant Hou said with a smile, let me tell you some allusions, this is the harbor and the building is still good, but for people who like Victoria Harbour, the night view of Victoria Harbour is her most beautiful scenery, and the day is more of a symbol of the port city. In the evening, we went to the Victoria Peak to see the night view of Victoria Harbour!

As soon as they heard that they were going to talk about allusions, Zhao Yili and Chen Xiangning turned their attention back, only to hear Hou Dezhu continue: "People who come to Hong Kong City for the first time will definitely keep hearing a few terms, that is, invincible sea view, typhoon shelter, and temple street.

In other words, if you come to Port City and you haven't seen any of these things, you're coming for nothing. ”

Seeing that the success attracted the interest of the two people, Assistant Hou put his heart down slightly, if Mr. Luo knew afterwards, he once said that he could definitely accompany Zhao and Chen to let them out, but it turned out to be a big disappointment, and his title of know-it-all in Hong Kong City has been called in vain for so many years.

After taking a sip of water and suppressing the slightly hoarse anger, Hou Dezhu was really almost unable to hold it just now. Then he cheered up and continued:

"The first one, the so-called invincible sea view, refers to the fact that the port city contains the place where we are now, and there are many places on both sides of Victoria Harbour where you can see the view of Victoria Harbour.

A residence, hotel or office with a sea view of Victoria Harbour is regarded as a symbol of affluence in Harbour City, so the "Invincible Sea View" often becomes one of the selling points of the property, and the price or rent of a property with a sea view can be very different from that without a sea view. For example, if you live at the Peninsula Hotel, you can see that 90% of the rooms have a view of Victoria Harbour, which will bring endless business opportunities and wealth, and the unbeatable sea view will be born. “

And the second one is the typhoon shelter and the typhoon shelter fried crab. As the port city is hit by typhoons from time to time in the summer, there are a number of typhoon shelters in Victoria Harbour for boats to shelter from the wind and rain, and there are also many boats that operate tours of Victoria Harbour and some outlying islands in the port city, some of which also provide entertainment facilities and catering services.

In addition to being a mooring point for yachts, the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter is also famous for its typhoon shelter dishes, which are mainly spicy and flavorful seafood dishes, among which "Stir-fried Crab in the Typhoon Shelter" is one of Hong Kong's famous authentic dishes.

The main typhoon shelters on Victoria Harbour include Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter, Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter, Lei Yue Mun Typhoon Shelter, Kowloon Bay Typhoon Shelter, To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter, many of which have "Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab", of course, the most authentic "Typhoon Shelter Crab" specifically refers to the production of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, and others are generally advertised as "typhoon shelter flavor". ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiangning stuck out her tongue at Zhao Yili, glanced at Lao Hou, and muttered: It's just to eat a fried crab, as for so much attention?

Assistant Hou said in his heart, girl, you look at Zhao Gongzi with affection, look at me and roll your eyes, really when I am a light bulb, there is no way The gap between people is big.

For outsiders to Temple Street, although they are familiar with those classic Hong Kong snacks and a dazzling array of discounted goods, in fact, it is difficult for you to understand the feelings of locals for Temple Street, many film and television dramas have been filmed here, filmed, in their descriptions, Temple Street has been described as a place where dragon and sand are mixed and full of violent conflicts, but in fact, it is the local Hong Kong people's memories of the authentic culture and grassroots people of the port city.

And I myself actually grew up in Temple Street since I was a child. “

Speaking of this, it seemed to touch the sad nerves, Zhao Yili came over and patted Hou Dezhu's shoulder as if comforting, got up and walked out of the cabin to relax.

There are not many tourists on the bow of the second floor, so sit for a long time, Zhao Yili, whose legs are a little numb, accompanied Chen Xiangning to the bow to enjoy the sea view, and the ferry gradually increased its speed when returning, blowing a slightly salty sea breeze, suddenly, Zhao Yili sighed about the fate of the past and present life, opened his arms, shook his arms violently on the sea surface a few times, and then shouted twice, scaring the seagulls flying with the side of the boat into flying away, slowly observing that nothing happened, and came back again to continue to fly with him.

Chen Xiangning patted Zhao Yili on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter, nerd, are you poetic?" ”

Zhao Yili looked at Chen Xiangning beside him, and then thought about the twists and turns of his fate in his previous life, and the repeated adventures and luck in this life, he couldn't help but sigh again, and slowly, a poem, blurted out:

I've had many adventures like this,

From heaven to hell is only in a blink of an eye;

Every lovely, gentle wave,

They have become mountains that suddenly rise and then fall.

Every drop of seawater changes face and color,

It was still so beautiful and blue just now;

Vortex entwined vortex,

I was thrown into the air and into the abyss......

At that time, I even thought about suicide,

There is a sea of bitterness in front of him;

To give up hope is to give up the tiller,

There is only silence and lamentation under violence.

Today I am qualified to laugh at myself yesterday,

I am ashamed of the panic of yesterday's falling leaves;

How many years have you wasted,

The hull of the ship was repeatedly hit by reefs......

Cast a net in the ocean a thousand times,

only to capture a little bit of life experience,

It dawned on me,

Yes! The reason is so simple:

Are you sailing?

There will inevitably be thousands of monsters coming out to stop it;

Tyrannical bullying is their game,

Fabrication of perdition is their only talent.

I was destined to meet them often,

for my name is the ship;

In the face of an opponent who is ten thousand times stronger than himself,

The only thing that can save you is sobriety and bravery.

……

As long as I have a complete keel,

Never sail into a haven of shelter;

Put life on the journey,

Let bravery determine the width and length of the road.

I'm completely free,

The bow of the ship became a shovel to bury them;

I jump rhythmically in the waves,

It's like swinging a giant swing.

Even if they finally tear me apart,

into some broken pieces of wood;

I will not sink, never!

I'll still be spinning on the crest of the waves.

Latecomers will recognize me on the fragments,

The poets of the future will sigh:

"There is a happy soul here, it was once a moving ship......"

The second more is delivered! A song of Bai Hua's "Boat", for everyone, pay tribute to the classics! This poem used to be my favorite poem in a long period of confusion and confusion, by the way, I asked for some recommendation votes, anyway, if I don't vote for tomorrow, it won't rise, right, hehe. There may be a third shift in the evening, these two things are a bit much, and there is no absolute guarantee that this more can be in place, and the body is a little uncomfortable. I'm trying not to disappoint you today.
