SPD4459 - Destination 5 - 【上環 Sheung Wan】上環 Poho區 Sheung Wan Poho

午後，走進了一個傳統氛圍且富有前衛設計的舊區，當你沿路往上行，你好像置身於不同的國度中，而它便是上環的「Poho區」。
Walking into an old urban area which is full of traditional atmosphere and avant-garde design, you feel like arriving in different countries when going uphill.  And, it is Sheung Wan’s Poho.



上環「Poho區」是由當地藝術家、設計師所命名，指的是四方街、太平山街、普慶坊及磅巷一帶，有的人更稱它為太平山街小社區。由於附近的街角巷弄無處不是牆，所以自然地成為了一班塗鴉愛好者的畫布。
The name of Sheung Wan’s Poho was given by the artists and designers from Hong Kong; it is located around Square Street, Tai Ping Shan Street, Po Hing Fong and Pound Lane. Someone even called it as the small community of Tai Ping Shan Street. All the walls in there became the canvas of graffiti amateurs.




為何這舊區會滿佈塗鴉呢？HKWalls發起人正正看中了它的牆壁，把它變成了充滿著街頭藝術的地方。透過由本地居民捐牆的活動，使巷裏的牆壁變得美麗，以配合他們的宣言—"We need walls. You need art."
Why is the graffiti all around in this old urban area? HKWalls’ initiators were attracted by the walls and wanted street art and graffiti takeover the walls of Hong Kong.  To let the walls turned into revitalized, their aims “We need walls. You need art.” can be achieved through donating walls by the residents in Sheung Wan.

這是得到捐牆者的支持後第一個塗鴉。This is the first garffiti through the donation of residents.

以下都是一些塗鴉愛好者的作品，它們都很有特色。 The following photos are the work of graffiti amateurs. Their works are full of characteristics.
