nu目
起步點為政府山一帶的花園道、炮台里,
再沿雪廠街步上下亞厘畢道、堅道一帶的大街
小巷,參觀這一帶的聖約翰座堂、輔政司署丶
港督府、會督府及天主教總堂等景點。亦會順
道考察這一帶的報業發源地和當年報館的位置。
早期為西洋娼妓區的擺花街,於戰後為著
名粵劇戲服街,連同聯接的荷李活道,於十九
世紀後期起,有多間學塾和學校,當中包括早
期為最高學府的皇仁書院。因此,有包括商務
印書館等多間書坊舖(書店)在這一帶開設。
矚目的建築羣為中央警署的「大館」、裁判
署和域多利監獄,其鄰近之士丹頓街,早期有
多家被名為「菩薩舖」的尼庵及佛寺,因而又名
為「師姑街」。六、七十年代起,漸被印務館取
代。近年來,蛻變為一如蘭桂坊的「SOIIO區」。
士丹頓街又被稱為「卅間」,此街的盛事為每年
農曆七月由坊眾舉辦的「盂蘭勝會」超幽醮會。
「卅間」與必列啫士街地段上的樓宇,於淪
陷時期曾被盜拆及戰火摧毀,和平後變成「卅間
廢墟」。
1950年代初,多座唐樓、已婚警察宿
舍及街市等,在廢墟上重建落成。該座街市於
2
01
8年底重新改建為香港新聞博覽館。
荷李活道早期亦有「文武廟直街」的別名。
文武廟落成於
1
8
47年,其前端的廣場,以及開
埠初期名為「佔領角」的「大筧地」,為最早的華
人活動及休閒場所。
由文武廟迄至部分西營盤的地段,為華人
聚居的太平山區,滿佈密集和衛生欠佳的樓房,
中軸線為太平山街,附近有東華醫院及保良局,
亦有兩間粵劇戲院。
1
8
94年,太平山區發生瘟疫,瞬即蔓延。
當局後來將區內的樓宇全部拆卸,稍後在此開
闢「市肺」卜公花園,興建現為香港醫學博物館
的香港病理檢驗所,以及在
191
8年落成的第二
代青年會大樓。
考察時可經過疫症前的街市街(普慶坊)尋
找「太平山街市」及
1844年第一間警署的遺址。
還有位於上端般咸道遭受
1
9
2
6年雨災影響而遷
至第四街(高街)的八號差館。行程也可經過又
名「貓街」的摩羅上街,參觀文武廟及其公所,
講述早期「斬雞頭、燒黃紙」的審案情況。期間
可在對面的文武廟廣場稍事休息,然後往歌賦
街、結志街及伊利近街的店舖或大牌檔,享受
平民化美食。

various Iocalions.
In Lhe early years of Lhe lerrilory, brolhels
calering moslly lo \Veslerners were localed mainly
around Lyn<lhursl Terrace. In lhe posl-war period,
there were numerous shops selling Canloncsc
opera paraphernalia. In the lale 19Lh cenlUf)', Lhere
exisled in lhis area and along Hollywood Road
numerous old Chinese-slyle learning cenlres and
schools, including lhe renowned Queen's College
(lhen known as The Governmenl Cenlral School)
and Lhus giving rise Lo Lhe eslablishmenl of various
bookshops and printing companies.
Then we come lo the most amazing complex
of early Colonial-era buildings: the Central Police
Station complex (revitalised as Tai Kwun), the
Cenlral 1Iagislracy and Lhe Victoria Prison. In
nearby Staunton Street there used to exist a
number of Buddhist/Taoist nunneries and other
Lradilional places of worship. There were also
several papier-mache or shops selling Lraditional
Chinese paper offerings. Hence, the nickname of'
the slreel was "Nunnery Strccl". In the 19GO's
and 70's, several prinling shops moved in. 1'1lore
recently, the area has transformed itself inlo
SOHO (South of Hollywood Road), an offshoot of
Lan K wai Fong, Hong Kong's nighL-lif"e hol spol.
Slaunlon Slrecl has also been known as "Sam Sap
Kan" as Lhere were Lhirly houses or lenemenls
buill on Lhe slreel in Lhe early days. An annual
feslival held in lhe Slaunlon Slreel area is the "Yu
Lan Feslival" (or Hungry Ghosl Festival/ceremony)
which lakes place on Lhe 14Lh (or laler) day of Lhe
sevenlh monlh in Lhe lunar calendar lo appease lhe
hungry wandering ghosls or spirils.
"Sam Sap Kan" and Lhe neighboring Bridges
Slreel suffered devaslalion during the Japanese
occupation and remained a dilapidated area after
Lhe war.
The early 1950's saw the building of
numerous Chinese-style Tong Lau, a police
married quarters and the Bridges Street market
(no. 2), a Bauhaus-style structure which opened
in 1953. The markcl was lransformcd into Hong
Kong's first news museum (News-Expo) in 2018.
Hollywood Road is also home to Lhc famous
l\'lan l\Io Temple completed in 1847. Prior to the
building of the Temple, the site Logether wilh the
neighboring Possession Point location came to be
known as "'rai Tat Tei" (or "Dai Tal Tei"), literally
meaning "large piece of land". The area served
as the earliesl venue for the purposes of a bazaar,
recrealional and entertainment hub l'or the local
population.
\Vesl of Lhe Man l\fo Temple was Lhe densely
populaled area 1(J1own as "Tai Ping Shan" and was
cluslcrcd around Tai Ping Shan Slrccl. Nearby
was Lhe Tung \Vah 1-lospilal and Po Leung Kuk,
plus Lwo popu
lar心nlonese
opera Lhealres, Shing
Ping and Tung I long.
In 1Iay 1894, Lhe Tai Ping Shan area was
devastaled by Lhe oulbreak of'a vicious bubonic
plaque which spread rapidly in the closely packed
and unhygienic teneme nts. The authorities
decided to demolish most of the tenements. In
much of the area, the Blake Garden was set up (as
a city lung), together丶,
1ith
the Hong Kong Museum
of ~lcdical Sciences which is housed in the former
old Pathological Institute. Finally, the second
generation of lhe Chinese Y?\,lCA in Hong Kong
was completed in 1918 (Bridges Slrccl).
