"Hong Kong Cinema Tourism" is the first tour to delve deeply into the world of cinema offered by Hong Kong's tourism industry. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), visitors to Hong Kong are not only interested in exploring attractive locations and learning about the culture, but also in discovering famous film settings.
Therefore, with this new tour, visitors will embark on an adventure into the world of Hong Kong films and revisit classic filming locations. These include the alley where Maggie Cheung went to buy porridge and encountered her ex-lover in "In the Mood for Love," or the spectacular chase scene in "Infernal Affairs"...
Most Hong Kong crime films are set in old neighborhoods, imbued with a sense of timelessness in every frame.
More than just a regular walking tour, the "Hong Kong Movie Tour: Sheung Wan," developed by HKTB, will take you "stepping" into the world of Hong Kong cinema, exploring legendary streets that have captivated generations of viewers. With a passionate film guide, you'll relive classic movie scenes right on location.
Visitors have the opportunity to "step" into each scene of the film right in real life.
For over two hours, the tour group will stroll through the many old streets and alleys of Sheung Wan, stopping at each "scene" from a particular film. Unlike a typical tour, veteran film critics and movie enthusiasts will act as guides, and through their storytelling, the big screens gradually appear before their eyes. They are very real and close, leading visitors on an exciting journey.
Along the way, tourists can watch videos of the places they pass through, compare precious still images, and enjoy anecdotes about famous stars both on and off screen.
These famous filming locations are associated with the childhood memories of many people.
The first phase of the tour focuses on taking visitors to the filming locations of nearly 20 famous Hong Kong films, such as 'Infernal Affairs', 'Rouge', 'Time Thief', and 'In the Mood for Love'...
Throughout the journey, visitors will be provided with interactive links and small props, helping everyone feel like they are living in a movie, recreating highlights together and taking記念 photos.
On the HKTB website, Pei-Yu Hung from Taiwan commented: "The tour not only explains the scenes in Hong Kong films, but also provides storylines for those who haven't seen the films, and, while playing them on tablets, explains why filmmakers use certain shooting techniques to create cinematic effects."
