Now, let's follow the footsteps of Shanye Jun to see the face of the earliest public housing village in Kowloon and even Hong Kong! Rainbow Village is located in the core area of Kowloon City, surrounded by several main roads. The convenient transportation makes Rainbow Village a hot spot for public housing estates in Hong Kong. It is named 'Rainbow Village' because of its colorful appearance and its location near the Rainbow subway station. The word 'village' is different from 'village' in Chinese dictionary, which generally means a bustling village. As early as 1958, Rainbow Village was built and became the earliest public housing estate in Kowloon and even Hong Kong. The village is quiet, but it is surrounded by city roads, giving it a style of hiding in the city. Among them, Bai Xue Building is close to the city's main road, less than 10 meters away from Kwun Tong Road, and is a quiet place in the city. The rooms in each building of Rainbow Village are equipped with living and dining rooms, terraces, kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces. Double rooms, four-person rooms and six-person rooms are generally located in high-rise buildings, while eight-person rooms and twelve-person rooms are located in low-rise buildings, with scientific and reasonable design. The location of Rainbow Village is too good. Outside the door of Bai Xue Building is the bustling main road of Kowloon City. The constant flow of traffic proves that this is a residential treasure. The surrounding facilities are complete. The first batch of people who bought houses in Rainbow Village in 1958 were very lucky and must have made a lot of money now. Rainbow Village has been around for half a century since 1958, so various facilities are very complete. In addition to shops, schools and post offices, there are even churches for local residents to worship. Don't think that Rainbow Village is small, but its facilities are very complete, which can meet the needs of residents for walking, exercising and resting. In Rainbow Village, you can always find a place to rest and sit for a while, which feels quite comfortable and leisurely. Therefore, Hong Kong is not as stressful as netizens say. Rainbow Village has a large parking lot and small temporary parking spaces, as well as public schools and various shops, making Rainbow Village the most complete housing estate in Hong Kong. The ecological environment in the village is also quite good. It is worth checking in here, so the housing problem in Hong Kong is not as unbearable as netizens say. That's about all the introductions about Rainbow Village. Next, Shanye Jun will simply list the related strategies of Rainbow Village! 1. Transportation issues: The location of Rainbow Village is too convenient. You can get off at the 'Rainbow' station on the Kwun Tong Line; dozens of buses such as Kowloon Bus 101, Kowloon Bus 14, Kowloon Bus 15, Kowloon Bus 16, Kowloon Bus 26, Kowloon Bus 26X, Kowloon Bus 27, Kowloon Bus 28, Kowloon Bus 29M, Kowloon Bus 42, Kowloon Bus 5M, Kowloon Bus 95 and Kowloon Bus N293 go directly. 2. Playability recommendation index: If calculated on a full score of 10, the playability recommendation index of Rainbow Village is about 4-6 points. For ordinary tourists, the highlights are not very obvious. If you want to experience the development of early public housing estates and check in for photos, you can visit here by the way. 3. Best travel season: In principle, all four seasons are suitable, but Shanye Jun recommends the deep autumn season, because Hong Kong's deep autumn is basically dominated by blue sky and white clouds, and the temperature is not hot, suitable for walking and exercising. Rainbow Village in deep autumn, under the influence of good weather, appears more charming, whether it is for viewing buildings or checking in for photos. 4. Suggested play time: Rainbow Village is not too large in scale, with the aerial basketball court as the biggest selling point, and other places can be walked around in 20 minutes. If you are taking pictures, reserve another 20 minutes. Therefore, Shanye Jun suggests that the time to visit Rainbow Village is completely enough within 1 hour. 5. Local language communication issues: Most of the people in Hong Kong's Rainbow Village are locals, mostly middle-aged and elderly people. They basically only speak Cantonese or English, and a very small number of middle-aged and elderly people speak a bit of stiff Mandarin, which is a bit difficult to communicate. But fortunately, you don't need to ask others for questions in Rainbow Village. A smart phone or my strategy basically solves all problems. 6. Special precautions: Due to Hong Kong's special geographical location, the weather will change. It is recommended that everyone bring umbrellas, sunglasses and other items when coming to Rainbow Village. In addition, do not easily visit other people's private houses, you will be driven away or even subject to Hong Kong law, after all, Hong Kong law is very strong in protecting privacy. 7.
