Hong Kong|Wedding Invitation Street|Nostalgia of an In-depth Tour of Hong Kong

#HongKongIn-depthTour Lee Tung Street is located in Wan Chai. Although it has been transformed into a modern shopping mall district due to reconstruction, it is still a nostalgic landmark for in-depth tours of Hong Kong. In the past, this 200-meter-long street was the center of Hong Kong's printing industry. It was famous for wedding invitation printing in the 1970s and 1980s. The tenement shops on the street displayed exquisite wedding cards, attracting newlyweds and tourists, and carrying countless happy memories. Today, the rebuilt Lee Tung Street has been transformed into a European-style pedestrian street with red lanterns hanging high, gathering international brands and specialty restaurants, such as the Japanese DJAPA and the Thai After You dessert shop, which blends Chinese and Western flavors. The street sculptures and garden seating areas retain a hint of the old days, while regular markets and lantern exhibitions add to the festive atmosphere, such as the sea of ​​colorful lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hong Kong singer Kay Tse's song "Wedding Invitation Street" has given this street a cultural symbol and expressed the sadness of the changes. The nearby Blue House and Stone Nullah Street continue the atmosphere of Wan Chai's old community. Strolling through them, you will find traditional herbal tea shops and trendy coffee shops interspersed. Through the dialogue between the past and the present, Wedding Street takes travelers away from typical attractions and into Hong Kong’s urban memory and new charm. #In-depth tour of Hong Kong #Wedding invitation street #Lee Tung Street #Wan Chai culture #Hong Kong history #Nostalgic journey
