    Sheung Wan Info:
    Sheung Wan (Chinese: 上環) is an area in Hong Kong, located in the north-west of Hong Kong Island, between Central and Sai Ying Pun. Administratively, it is part of the Central and Western District. The name can be variously interpreted as Upper District (occupying relatively high ground compared to Central and Wan Chai), or Gateway District (perhaps a reference to the location where the British first entered and occupied Hong Kong).
    Sheung Wan was one of the earliest settled places by the British and belonged to the historical Victoria City. The site of the original occupation of Hong Kong Island by British forces in 1842 was at Possession Street, between Queen's Road Central and Hollywood Road. A plaque to this effect can be found in Hollywood Road Park at the top of Possession Street. The foot of Possession Street, Possession Point, was at that time on the shoreline but is now several hundred yards inland due to reclamation
    Central Info:
    Central (also Central District; Chinese: 中環) is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. The area was the heart of Victoria City, although that name is rarely used today.
    As the central business district of Hong Kong, it is the area where many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Harbour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841 and continues to flourish and serve as the place of administration after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.

    Great video! 😊
    Thank's for sharing! 😊
    1:40 - it's beuatiful pagoda 😊
    14:35 - nice view
    I've heard drums, but couldn't find it..😊

      Glad to see you here GW 😄 In 1:40, it is not a pagoda. A pagoda would be a tiered tower with multiple eaves. I can't speak with certainty what the lady is hanging on. Hopefully, a Hong Konger will be able to give us more insight. I only know that Man Mo Temple is dedicated to the Literature god Man Tai, and the Martial God Mo Tai. Based on the deities that are represented here, I would assume people come to pray for good grades in studies.
      Yeah 14:35 is a nice view. Hong Kong is such a densely packed city but they do have nice spaces here and there.
      You mean the drum sounds at 29:09? It was on the opposite side of the road, and its narrow sidewalk was packed with people so I made a decision not to go over. Likely it is a lion dance performance to bring luck for an event or maybe a new business that just opened. The lion is a symbolic feature in such events to bring luck and prosperity.
