Really… Unbelievable…
After the success of ‘echoes of the rainbow’ set in 1960′s Hong Kong, Wing Lee street, where the movie is set, has become somewhat of a local tourist trap.
I went for a walk through to check it out as it’s one of the few older housing areas left in Hong Kong.
First thing I saw on the street was an old lady at the doorways to one of the houses. She seemed less than impressed with all the attention.
A large no photos sign was stuck on her place too. I decided not to take direct photos of the places there to respect them.
So what’s so special about Wing Lee street? Nothing that I can tell at first glance. The movie depected things much better than this dilapidated old street.
Unusual Sightings:
Police officer at the airport on a segway, cruising along side me when im walking along the travelator.
Couples waltzing together on the side walk, in the freezing cold.
Crazy electric powered silent bikes!
A huge amount of the old city being destroyed, none of the old feeling left, except for the forbidden city.
======
Its cold here, very cold. Beijing seems to be a quiet city, apart from the forbidden city, it doesn’t really feel like any other.
