SPD4459 Destination 14 - [中環 Central ] 煤氣燈街 與 懷舊星巴克冰室 Starbucks "BING SUTT" in Duddell Street


這次SPD4459 的同學為你介紹中環另一個拍照好地方!
就是位於皇后大道中的「煤氣燈街」~
SPD4459 is now going to recommend you are amazing place in Central and Western District for photo taking!
Let's go to Duddell Street, which located in Queen's Road Central.



「煤氣燈街」的正名是「都爹利街」,是一條連接雪廠街的小街。
這裡有一條用花崗石搭建而成的樓梯,樓梯旁是全港僅有的四支煤氣燈。
這條石階相信是在英國殖民地時所建的, 歷史悠久,因此已被刊為香港法定古蹟。

There is another name for Duddell Street, which is called "Gas Lamp Street"!
It is a small street that stretches Ice House Street.
You may notice four gas lights along the balustrades' side. There are the last four lights in Hong Kong!
It is believed that Duddell Street Steps was built in the early days of British colony.
This architecture with long history was the object of historical interest.



在那年代的香港,以煤氣燈來作街道照明是十分普遍的,但隨著科技發展,它們被電燈取代。
幸好,「都爹利街」的四支煤氣燈能逃過拆卸的命運,繼續每晚燃燒著煤氣燈為大家服務。
不過,現時已改為每天傍晚六時至早上六時自動開關,省卻人手。

At that time, gas lamps were commonly use in HK.
With the growth of technology, they were replaced by electrical  lamps.
Fortunately, these four gas lamps can be conserved and still function well in every night.
It operates at 6pm till 6am automatically instead of switching on and off by staff.




 「煤氣燈街」可以算是香港一個很浪漫的地方。
不少電視劇及電影都會在這裡取景,晚上的氣氛更添浪漫呢!

Duddell Street is one of the romantic places in HK. The atmosphere is the best at night!
Many TV dramas and movies shooting would like to occur here too.




走到了這個又懷舊又浪漫的地方,如果累了,可以考慮去「煤氣燈街」旁邊的星巴克冰室休息一下。
 這間星巴克咖啡室獨特之處是它的「冰室」主題。
「冰室」是香港五十至七十年代很流行的咖啡店模式。
如果你是年青一代或是遊客,想體驗一下昔日的氣氛,我會誠意推薦這間星巴克冰室給你。

After walking for a long time, I highly recommend you to take a nap in the Starbucks  "BING SUTT" which just next to Duddell Street.
The theme of this Starbucks is specially designed. There is a  "BING SUTT" corner!
"BING SUTT" is the name of HK style coffee shop. It is very popular in 50s - 70s.
If you are the young generation or tourists, I suggest you to pay a visit in order to experience the atmosphere of old HK.



 星巴克特地與本港品牌 《住好啲》 合作,室內的設計及擺設都彷照以往的冰室,全球只此一間。
To build this "BING SUTT", Starbucks collaborated with local brand "G.O.D" who supported the interior design and decorations. I can say this is one of a kind!



 這間星巴克冰室會售賣冰室的傳統美食,例如厚切牛油菠蘿包、咖啡蛋塔及咖啡雞尾包。

Local HK snacks and food, such as  Rustic Bun with Thick Cut Butter, Coffee Egg Tart, Coffee Cocktail Bun, etc. can be found in this Starbucks!

SPD4459 - Destination 2 - 【上環 Sheung Wan】PMQ 元創方



元創方是位於中環鴨巴甸街,是香港其中一個極標具標志性的創意中心,為香港新生代的創意藝術注入活力。其實,元創方前身為中央書院,後因二次世界大戰受到破壞,於是在1951 年改成已婚警察宿舍,並在2000年起空置。元創方是其中一個香港活化古蹟的例子,而且被古物古蹟辦事處評定為三級歷史建築。

PMQ is located in Aberdeen Street, Central. It is one of the iconic creative centre that allows different artists and designers to create and exhibit their work.

In fact, PMQ was formerly known as Central School. However, due to the destruction of World War II, it rebuilt as Police Married Quarters in 1951 and vacant in 2000. AMO has been assessed PMQ for the three historic buildings. 






元創方作為一個推動本地創意的中心,定期舉辦不同的展覽、工作坊和創意市集。亦因元創方前身為警察宿舍,因此整棟大樓分為不同的房間,可供本地以及來自外地的藝術家設立自己的店鋪和工作室。在這裡會看見不同的作品和展覽,每一個房間都令人期待驚喜。假如你喜愛獨特的設計和藝術品,這裡一定令你樂而忘返!這裡的設計師也很樂意讓你為他們的作品留影呢!It 

PMQ aims to promote arts and creativity.It organizes various exhibitions, workshops and creative market regularly. Also, as PMQ was the police quarters, the whole building divided into different rooms. These rooms allow artists and designers from different places set up their own shops and studios. 

If you like something different, PMQ can definitely satisfy you needs! The shops here provides products and art piece with unique designs.

SPD 4459 - 【 Greetings 】




歡迎來到我們的網誌 !

Welcome to our blog!




香港,作為國際大都會,混集美食天堂與購物天堂於一身。
提到中西區,絕大部分的人都只會聯想到商業中心及高樓大廈。
但其實在十八區中,中西區藉著它中西文化交集的特色,最為吸引遊客。

Hong Kong, a cosmopolitan city, also well-known for its name -  "Gourmet and Shopping Paradise".
When it comes to Hong Kong Central & Western District (C&W), most of us may only think of "busy business center" and "skyscrapers".
However, within the 18 districts in HK, C&W, is famous for its combination of Eastern and Western culture, is the most popular destination for tourists.

中西區分為中區、上環、西區和山頂四大主要區域。
無論室外或是室內,能夠突出香港本土特色的好去處多不勝數。
每個區域內有很多極具歷史價值的建築物、新興的景點,也有些有趣神秘的小地方。

C&W can be divided into four areas which are Central, Sheung Wan, Western District and the Peak.
No matter in outdoor or at indoor, there are lots of places that shows the specialty of HK.
In each area, there are numerous historical buildings and tourist spots that worth to go.
