SPD4459 - Destination 15 - 【上環 Sheung Wanl】城皇街 Shing Wong Street

　

城皇街,是一條位於香港島上環的一條山坡路，很多人只留意到它是一條普通的樓梯街，　經它由半山堅道向下走到歌賦街。　SPD4459 的同學眼中，這是我們推薦的影相好地方。


Shing Wong Street is a street on the hill slope in Sheung Wan of Hong Kong Island. Many people just seems that it is just a normal street with lots of stairs, and pass through it everyday from Gough street to Caine Road. However, from SPD4459 students' eyes, it is a excellent place and destinations for taking snapshot there.

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!

假如大家有看過前幾篇的博客，不難發現中上環除了商業大廈，還有很多特色的街道。這些街道正表現了香港中西匯萃的特色。 這一次SPD4459 的同學就會為大家帶來一處別具特色的街道－ 摩羅街。

These street show the charateristic of Hong Kong, which combined Chinese and Western Cultures. This time SPD4459 students will show you a distinctive street - Upper Lascar Row

摩羅街之所以會被稱爲摩羅街，是由於香港在開埠初期有大量印度人售賣貨品，而香港人喜歡把印度人稱為「摩羅差」，所以這條街就被稱為摩羅街。時至今日，就成為一個富有色彩的街道。

The name of Lascar Row is concerned with the Indian. Lascar was Arabic and Persian, originally referred to the soldiers and guard. Since Lascar Row was a place that gathered a lot of indians, it used the name "Ladcar"
