Cultural Chronicles 漫遊上海街


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.

1974 Hong Kong Cityscape 香港景象


 Hong Kong 1974 年香港景象
Detailed Description in English and Chinese
 
Take a journey through time, reliving the vibrant cityscape of Hong Kong in 1974 through this precious 8mm film footage. This film documents the true face of the "Pearl of the Orient" during its transformation, filled with nostalgic charm.

The camera captures the street scenes of Central in bygone days, the bustling stalls of Cat Street, and the quaint Man Mo Temple. You can see the legendary Hong Kong trams weaving through the crowds on Des Voeux Road Central and in Wan Chai. We'll also board the world-famous Star Ferry to admire the Victoria Harbour skyline before it was filled with skyscrapers.

From traditional rickshaws and open-air markets to the colonial architecture of Prince's Building and the old Kowloon-Canton Railway clock tower, this film is a must-see for history buffs, travel enthusiasts, and anyone who loves 1970s Hong Kong.

Hong Kong in the 1970s underwent many changes that shaped its future, led for most of the decade by its longest-serving and reform-minded Governor, Murray MacLehose. Economically, it reinvented itself from a manufacturing base into a financial centre.

帶你穿梭時空,透過這段珍貴的 8mm 菲林片段,重溫 1974年香港 的繁華景象。這部影片紀錄了「東方之珠」在轉型時期的真實面貌,充滿懷舊情懷。

鏡頭捕捉了昔日 中環 的街景、摩羅街(Cat Street) 熙來攘往的攤檔,以及古色古香的 文武廟。你可以看到傳奇的 香港電車 在 德輔道中 和 灣仔 的人潮中穿梭。我們還會登上聞名中外的 天星小輪,從海面欣賞那尚未被摩天大樓填滿的 維多利亞港天際線。

從傳統的 人力車、露天 街市,到 太子大廈 的殖民地建築,以及舊 九廣鐵路鐘樓,這段影片是歷史愛好者、旅遊迷以及熱愛 70年代香港 的人的必看之選。

在七十年代,香港經歷了許多變革,這些變革塑造了香港的未來。在長達十年的時間裡,香港總督麥理浩(Murray MacLehose)領導了大部分變革,他是香港任期最長、最具改革精神的總督。在經濟方面,香港從製造業基地轉型為金融中心。

【預製菜遍地開花.上】自新冠疫情爆發以來,本港餐飲業的生態發生翻天覆地的改變,預製菜成為食肆東主節省開支的求生招數之一,惟本地消費者普遍對「預製」有負面觀感,《香港01》上月分別深入本港及廣州的預製菜廠房,直擊內部生產環境,發現預製菜的製作過程並不馬虎。若以熱銷菜式「陳皮冬瓜鴨腿湯」為例,涉及焗、蒸、烚、煲等工序,最少花逾4小時,餐廳員工只要解凍並簡單加熱,便能在數分鐘內送上餐桌。

鏗鏘集:輟學 Dropping Out of School

在現行法例下,6 歲至 15 歲兒童必須在學校就學,如學生連續缺課七天,便會被定義為「缺課」,學校必須呈報。根據教育局提供的最新數字,目前全港有逾5000個缺課個案,創九年新高。不過,部分每星期只上課一、兩天,甚至幾小時的學童,便不計算在內。有處理輟學學童問題的青年機構表示,這些潛在個案比想像嚴重。學生斷續缺課的時間越長,便越難重新融入學校生活,過去政府及各社福機構一直為缺課學童提供不同類型支援及課程,成效怎樣?本集會一一探討。

Under current laws, children aged 6 to 15 must attend school. If a student is absent from school for seven consecutive days, he or she will be defined as "absent" and the school must report it. According to the latest figures provided by the Education Bureau, there are currently more than 5,000 cases of absenteeism in Hong Kong, a nine-year high. However, some students who only attend classes one or two days a week, or even a few hours, are not counted. Youth organizations that deal with the problem of dropouts say that these potential cases are more serious than imagined. The longer students are absent from school, the more difficult it is for them to reintegrate into school life. In the past, the government and various social welfare organizations have been providing different types of support and courses for absent students. What are the results? This episode will explore them one by one.

紅磡有一個區域,自帶一種生人勿近不敢打擾的感覺,連街坊都覺得沒甚麼不好走進來怕不吉利。40年代港英政府籌建和合石墳場應付葬地不足的問題,當年交通不方便和合石又離市區很遠,為了方便市民和先人告別,政府就在現在理工大學的位置興建了永別亭殯儀廳,慢慢令長生店花店開始聚集。以機利士南路同蕪湖街為界,中間的寶其利街、曲街、必嘉街至到世界殯儀館後面的安靜道,因為高度集中殯儀行業在這個長方形內,所以形成一個獨有的殯儀社區和生態。

In-depth study of the funeral community in Hung Hom: the daily life of funeral practitioners that are avoided by the public

There is an area in Hung Hom that has a sense of "keep away from strangers and don't dare to disturb them". Even the neighbors think there is nothing wrong with entering for fear of bad luck. In the 1940s, the British Hong Kong government planned to build Wo Hop Shek Cemetery to cope with the problem of insufficient burial land. At that time, transportation was inconvenient and Wo Hop Shek was far away from the city. In order to facilitate citizens to bid farewell to their ancestors, the government built the Yongbieting Funeral Hall at the current location of the Polytechnic University, which gradually attracted the gathering of Changshengdian and flower shops. With Gillies Road South and Wuhu Street as the boundary, the middle Bulkeley Street, Qu Street, and Baker Street to Anjing Road behind the World Funeral Home, because the funeral industry is highly concentrated in this rectangle, it has formed a unique funeral community and ecology.

像映留痕 - 太子的氣派


Lingering Memory 像映留痕 - 太子的氣派

六十年代太子道西一帶,曾經是個未至巨富,但卻是普羅市民艷羡的有錢人住宅區。這區沒有金碧輝煌的俗艷,但又散發出內斂樸實的幽靜莊重貴氣,和其他喧鬧雜亂骯髒的區份截然不同。時移世易,這區的住客,歷經幾代後,人事環境都有極大變化,唯獨兩大地標「聖德勒撒教堂」和「瑪利諾修院學校」,到今天仍然矗立在那裏,見證著太子道西的興衰。

In the 1960s, the area around Prince Edward Road West was once a residential area for wealthy people who were not yet extremely rich, but were envied by the general public. This area is not flashy and gaudy, but it exudes a restrained, simple, quiet, solemn and noble atmosphere, which is completely different from other noisy, messy and dirty areas. As time has passed, the residents of this area have experienced great changes in their personnel and environment over several generations. Only two major landmarks, "St. Teresa's Church" and "Maryknoll Seminary School", are still standing today. There, the rise and fall of Prince Daoxi was witnessed.

像映留痕 - 從老虎岩到樂富


Lingering Memory 像映留痕 - 從老虎岩到樂富

「樂富」前身是「老虎岩」和部份「橫頭磡」地區,當年「香港電台」就是以居住在這區的德叔一家為藍本,譜寫了香港普羅家庭典型的《獅子山下》單元劇,以後甚至代表了香港奮鬥發展的獅子山下精神。

從「老虎岩」到「樂富」,是一個幾十年間,由充塞著風餐露宿,衣不蔽體的難民,發展成小康社區的一個傳奇。今天整區已無復昔日面貌,雖然看起來依然人來人往,繁榮依舊,但卻使人生出 「三春爭及初春景  虎兔相逢大夢歸」的慨嘆。

"Lok Fu" was formerly "Lao Lao Yan" and part of "Wang Tau Hom" area. At that time, "Radio Television Hong Kong" was based on the Uncle De's family living in this area, and composed the "Under the Lion Rock" unit that is typical of ordinary families in Hong Kong. The play later even represented the spirit of Hong Kong’s struggle for development.

From "Tiger Rock" to "Lok Fu", it is a legend that it has developed from a refugee living in the open with no clothes to a well-off community in a few decades. Today, the entire district has lost its former appearance. Although it seems that people still come and go and prosperity remains the same, it still makes people sigh with emotion, "Three springs compete for the first spring scenery, tigers and rabbits meet and return home from a dream."

啡伯後記

網友「我係五無」在此提出獅子山之前曾命名為虎頭山,而老虎岩則因在虎頭山腳而得名。網友 K Wind 也加入討論。
翻查的資料顯示: 獅子山昔日有很多別名,包括虎頭山、獺子頭、駱駝山、鳳凰山、禾鐮咀山等。

根據 K Wind兄所提嘉慶年間編撰的《新安縣志》〈山水略‧虎頭山〉資料:「虎頭山在官富九龍寨之北,亦名獺子頭,怪石嵯峨,壁立插天……」,而在網上搜得的新安縣圖一幅亦吻合這說法。

亦有一説法:  鴉片戰爭,英國租借新界後, 測繪人員以該山頂上石頭的形狀有如一頭盤踞而坐的獅子,英國人崇尚獅子,徽章上常有獅子圖形,因而稱之為Lion Rock,中文就叫做獅子山。

簡單而言,獅子山在清治時期叫虎頭山,英治後才改名為獅子山,而老虎岩則因在虎頭山腳而得名。

以上說法跟片中所述坊間普遍認同:「相傳很久以前曾經有一個岩洞,因有老虎出沒而得名。」不同。不過,當年華南一帶多老虎,傷人傷畜之事時有所聞,上水、赤柱和荃灣都曾有虎蹤出沒,當年報紙就曾報導過,故此這說法相信也不應完全否定。

年代久遠的地方生活史,尤其地名命名,往往版本衆多,亦很難完全確認一個說法,和否定其他說法。啡伯也並非考據專家、學者,在此也祇能供大家作一個參考吧了,謝謝各位一起探討,使大家和啡伯也有得著。
