Hong Kong 香港 North Point 北角

Did you know that North Point was once called Little Shanghai? That the city’s elite would drive all the way from Repulse Bay to North Point to visit a Shanghai-style barbershop? In our journey of discovery we found traces of Shanghainese, Fujianese, and from across South East Asia in the streets of North Point. We fell in love with a Shanghainese noodle factory on Chun Yeung Street; feasted on Indonesian snacks, listened to the stories of the tailor, and wandered around the iconic State Theatre. 北角曾吸引大量移民人口。內戰期間大量上海和福建移民到沿海的北角落戶,因此北角又有「小上海」、「小福建」之稱。這些移民人口帶著自己的文化與生活習慣,影響著這區的發展:有紅極一時的旋宮戲院、遊樂場、舞廳和餐館。近年來也有東南亞移民聚居,為北角增添一點文化特色。
