Local Tours | Hong Kong by MTR | Fortress Hill Station | Oil Street Realization | An Art Oasis in the City

#waffleandshrimpcakes The last time I went to "#oilstreetrealization" was in 2014, and I revisited the old place a few days ago. Take the MTR to #Paotaishan Station and take Exit A to Oil Street Realization which reopened in May this year. First, we went to Oil Street Warehouse to visit the art exhibition of Trevor Yeung and Yoyo Law. The red brick and tile roof inside is over a hundred years old. The predecessor of "Oil Street Warehouse" was the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club completed in 1908. One of the check-in spots, "Admiring the Forest. Joyful Wood", is a tree-themed kinetic installation. Several cypress trees were planted by the famous American architectural team Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Three of them were planted on a turntable at a 10-degree tilt. When it rotates, shadows, light and patterns intertwine, allowing visitors to experience "unnatural nature". The expansion of Oil Street has added 3,000 square meters of outdoor space. The outdoor mural map "Green Oil Tracks" was drawn by local illustrator Wu Jiamin. Wof spotted a hydrangea near the mural. The outdoor exhibition "People, Trees, Land" planted 100 local native fruit trees of 10 species, including banana trees from Tiao Hang in Sai Kung, hoping to tell the local story of Hong Kong through trees and arouse attention to environmental protection. The Oil Street Glass House is one of the four new facilities and will host the "2022 Alumni Reunion" life experience library from now until November 13, 2022. Among the exhibits at the "2022 Alumni Reunion", Woo particularly admired the painting "My Super Grandma" by autistic patient Lee Chi-shun, which records their life in North Point. Wof really likes "Oil Street Realization", this oasis in the bustling city, and will definitely come again. Tired of shopping, Wo Fu sat down in front of the large screen on the balcony of Oil Street to appreciate the three-dimensional digital art. The blue whale in "Whale" is composed of different graffiti patterns, which metaphorically represents the blue whale swimming in the deep sea as a canvas of life, reminding people to continue to embrace creativity and weave dreams. Both "The Wave" and "The Whale" were created by the well-known Korean art team d'strict. They are extremely realistic. The surging waves in "The Wave" bring visual shock and also bring vitality during the epidemic. #hongkong #hongkonggoodplaces #holidayplaces #holidayplacestogo #hkattractions #hkblogger
