【Explore Old Hong Kong】Lee Tung Street (Xi Tie Street) in Wan Chai｜Searching for the slow pace of time

#GlobalTravel Lee Tung Street in Wan Chai was once Hong Kong's exclusive "Wedding Invitation Street", but now it is filled with a strong blend of Chinese and Western atmosphere. Initially, there were more than ten tailor shops gathered on Lidong Street, so it was called Tailor Street. At that time, the nearby Jaffe Road and Thomson Road were red-light districts, and the customers of the tailor shops on Lee Tung Street were women who worked in the red-light district, and they made cheongsams for them. Until the end of the 1960s, with the decline of pornographic industries in the area, the number of tailor shops on Lee Tung Street also decreased, and they were later replaced by small printing factories. In the 1970s, Lee Tung Street was transformed into Wedding Invitation Street, a must-visit place for newlyweds. Now there are many small shops on the street, and handicraft shops, cafes and specialty restaurants are popular among people. Why not find a small shop to savour the coffee, order a cup of hand-brewed coffee, admire the passers-by outside the window, and feel the unique style of this city that never sleeps at a slow pace. Lee Tung Street tells a story about time. Here, there is no need to chase time, just enjoy the present moment, put aside the fast-paced city life temporarily, and experience the unique slow-paced charm of Hong Kong. #Hongkong
