Viaje de 23 días por Asia. En esta primera etapa, visito Hong Kong. En este sexto capítulo, voy al templo Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin. Después voy hasta el parque de la ciudad amurallada de Kowloon, donde se encontraba la antigua ciudad guetto, la que en su día fue la más densamente poblada del mundo. Después fui visitando la ciudad hasta terminar a la noche en el Ladies Market del centro.

I'm going to come here near another temple that I haven't entered yet but according to I have left a
I look at the tunnel and say "What a beautiful temple this is " and then I realize it wasn't a temple
It was a shopping center
If there's anything else here besides temples there are shopping centers and in every corner there is a
The mall is crazy
I am here at the Sik Yuen Waisong Temple I don't know if I'm saying that correctly
It is a temple I leave the name below because surely half the name has failed
And nothing at the moment seems very cool I don't have much information about this but well it will be
A temple it doesn't seem as big as the previous one at least the complex seems simpler
What is here the speaking area but very nice very colorful
A very abundant flower in all Chinese temples at least in this area is the lotus flower
It is practically present in all temples in some way in some it is the actual one
lotus flower in other places it is like here there is a sculpture of a fountain and they are all
lotus flowers are very important here in fact the seated Buddha we have see
It is situated on a large lotus flower
This type of temple also has the characteristic of always having protective figures
e temple itself like the figures we have here
behind which often represent different animals
The next place I'm going to is a secret place no one knows about it in fac
It's not an official site not even the maps are there well it's a lie it's all a lie
No yes it's a lie no well the site I wanted to show you is this one here
This is the one seen here on the left which looks like a walled park is a walled park
but it has a bit more history I don't know if you'll recognize it but now when you enter
I teach you and tell you a bit about the history of this site
You can see that where I am is like a very beautiful park really it's very good very good
It's a very new park it's only a few years old and now you'll see why
What was here before the East Park The
part I wanted to show you and where I'm going to tell you a bit of the story is this
From here Here is
a sculpture of what this was this park 20 years ago was like this which
It's the story of this why is it important
Well this dates back to the 19th century when in 1842 this part Hong Kong became part of the British Empire
part of it became a British colony and took control of the entire area
but China didn't want to stop having at least knowing what the British were doing
Here he then kept a zone kept this park for himself for China here
There were Chinese officers overseeing more or less what was happening in daily life
from the British-owned Hong Kong island but one year later
This agreement in 1899 Britain regretted this decision to hand over this area
Then he attacked this walled city
These walls that you see here are fake well they are fake they are real but they are relatively
ew but there was once a military wall from centuries ago then when the Britis
They expelled the Chinese officials and this remained a Chinese area that is legally
This was China and here lived families of those who had been officers people who
He had started building his life and there was really no problem it was just like a
zone a Chinese way of life within what was the British part after the
World War II completely changed the way of life that was here
At that time the Republic of China was established
Many people fled from mainland China and came here because they felt unsafe
reatened by China's new power this city became a mixture of
People who were already living there illegal immigrants who had come from China as well as
It became filled with mafias then what most affected this city for its decline was
which became filled with mafias and then this whole city basically became dedicated to drugs and prostitution
casinos illegal factories textiles good there was everything and the worst was not that the worst was
e time when as the English had no power over this part and the Chinese were making a move
A few crazy ones because they don't act here either they didn't bring in they didn't involve the police
othing then this became a lawless city then the decline of this
It was in the year 89 when the British government and China reached an agreement
They drove everyone out and destroyed the entire city they destroyed it and then built it again
In 95 this park was more of a memorial but at least something nice was there
In its place everything is a representation for example this sculpture that I have shown you
Here is a model of how the city looked back then so compressed and then
Besides that there is a map here that looks like this: Rue 13 du Percebe which explains a bit
How life was back then you can see here for example people doing works on their own homes
The house like without any kind of security also shows people here throwing away trash
On the floor or rather it was crazy here everyone did whatever they wanted
Okay it's started to rain now but I managed to take shelter here in a tunnel
Look how it's looking in the camera it's not very visible but now it's falling well and I
I have to go up to catch a bus and I can't go out until it stops a bit
It's impossible if everything is going to be raining I won't enjoy it nothing will be visible here
So I think I've looked for a mall or something like that where I can eat something
Since I haven't eaten take the chance to see if it clears up and if not go for a walk around the stores that are there
And if I have nothing else to do I don't want to go back to the hotel I'd rather be in a commercial
Being in that hotel and if I don't get sick it will be a miracle because it's so dirty
It's quite hot and humid and with all the people on the bus and the air conditioning is on
It's freezing and there's a strong wind
I just got back from eating dinner I don't know since none of the times were accepted well
The food of the day from a restaurant that I have not liked very much I put the name below
It's called The Forest or I don't know what it was but everything is in Chinese except one place where
She was posting on Instagram and it seemed like she was posting The Forest and well it didn't look bad at all
It had many vegan options and if you're vegan and can't find anything else this might work for you
But I took a plate well the soup they put in front of me was good it was tasty
But then they brought me the main course I had ordered which was chicken with spaghetti
The pepper sauce was terrible the meat was really tough the chicken wasn't tasty at all and I've left it just like yesterday
He left more than half a plate and also couldn't pay by card he had to pay in cash
And the uncle is a bit dry I didn't like it so I don't recommend it to you
And nothing good at least during the time I've been here and on top of that it was freezing me
The air conditioner was on full blast and I was dying of cold I'm telling you seriously tha
It's strange how I feel if I don't get sick one of these days
And that's at least for the time I've been here because it has stopped raining
So I'll take a little walk around here and see what I'm going to do or maybe improvise a bit in the area
Something I really like about the Hong Kong metro is that when you arrive at any statio
It's so big that it has five or six exits but there's a huge sign everywhere
Which shows you the tourist attractions at each exit
For example I now want to go to the Ladies Market and here are all the exits
You have the C the D and then here in the D it says "Ladies Market"
And then you are much better equipped to know which way to go
because then you end up a kilometer away from where you would have exited on another ex
So I'm going out through D now and I'll show you the Ladies Marke
Well it turns out that Ladies Market is the place where I was yesterday when I passed by here by accident
Yes that's right it's the most important area in Hong Kong for street markets selling all kinds of counterfeit goods
From clothing electronic items watches necklaces everything you want is here
And that's why it's called Ladies Market because originally it was all things mainly oriented towards women
Especially women's clothing handbags and such but today it sells all kinds of things
And especially for tourists rather than locals
PossibilitiesWalk me off my feet
My dreams
All I know that was left now
The sun and the stars
Now leaving me in the dar
Well Ladies Market is located in the area of Nathan's Road and Temple Street
And it's very interesting I usually don't find anything in these things
but good if you are one of these people and like to explore and have some counterfeit items
It's roughly the kind of thing that might interest you
but in any case it's worth taking a look around here
