 North
Point is a very 'local' district. Located in the eastern half
of the Hong Kong Island, it is known for its Swatow population.
It has street markets typical of 'local' Hong Kong. One of which
worth mentioning is Chun Yeung Street. With the century-old
tram slowly going through it every 15 minutes, it gives one
a glimpse of a few decades back.
Also located in North Point is the Sunbeam Theatre where there're
Cantonese
operas, one of the local
colors.
A shop worth mentioning is one that has gain popularity selling
'eggettes' -
waffles with egg-shaped individual pieces. If you're in North
Point, you should try them out. But there's often a line. (The
shop is on Kam Hong Street near King's Road.)
North Point also has a street with a number of interior decoration
companies. But the most interesting building has to be Hotel
Ibis (shown in the photo above
left). By the way, it is a budget hotel with harborview
rooms. (2009.4.4)
