漫遊上海街 旺角篇 Cultural Chronicles 2025.09
今日「香港民物誌」會講上海街，這裏曾經是九龍區最旺的街道，包括有茶餐廳，有茶樓，也有各式各樣的商店，我們會帶大家由荔枝丑道出發，一直行到登打士街，講講上海街在旺角這一段的前世今生。
In today's edition of "Hong Kong's Cultural Chronicles," we turn our focus to Shanghai Street—once the busiest thoroughfare in Kowloon. Lined with *cha chaan tengs*, traditional teahouses, and a diverse array of shops, this street bustled with activity. We will take you on a journey starting from Lai Chi Kok Road and continuing all the way to Dundas Street, exploring the past and present of this vibrant stretch of Shanghai Street within the Mong Kok district.
漫遊上海街 油麻地篇 Cultural Chronicles 2025.09
這次我們拍攝上海街由登打士街到甘肅街的一段。這一小段，有三間著名的酒樓，即得如、一定好及品心，還有不少老店，包括永隆繡莊、位元堂及奇華餅家等，承載老街坊不少美好回憶。不過，這裏也多次發生災禍，在1958年時 曾經發生一次大火，導致上海街392號至到404號都要拆卸重建，另外，在1962年，有架貨車撞向上海街244至246號，導致整棟唐樓倒塌，一對男女不幸身亡，在當年也十分轟動。
最後不得不提的，是中段的梁顯利油麻地社區中心，昔日是第一代油麻地差館所在地，而這間差館也與上海街舊名有關，究竟上海街本來叫甚麼名？後來為何改成上海街呢看看這條片便知道了。
On this occasion, we are filming the stretch of Shanghai Street running from Dundas Street to Kansu Street. This short section is home to three renowned restaurants—De Ru, Yi Ding Hao, and Pin Xin—as well as numerous long-standing establishments, including Wing Lung Embroidery, Wai Yuen Tong, and Kee Wah Bakery; together, they hold a wealth of cherished memories for the neighborhood's longtime residents. However, this area has also been the site of several disasters. In 1958, a major fire broke out, necessitating the demolition and reconstruction of the buildings located at 392–404 Shanghai Street. Furthermore, in 1962, a truck crashed into the buildings at 244–246 Shanghai Street, causing the entire *tong lau* (traditional tenement building) to collapse; a man and a woman tragically lost their lives in the incident, which caused a great sensation at the time.
Finally, a noteworthy landmark in the middle section of the street is the Leung Sing Hee Yau Ma Tei Community Centre. This site was formerly the location of the first Yau Ma Tei Police Station—an institution that actually shares a historical link with Shanghai Street's original name. So, what exactly was Shanghai Street called in the beginning? And why was its name later changed to Shanghai Street? Watch this video to find out.
