Hong Kong|Wedding Card Street|A Nostalgic Deep Dive into Hong Kong

#HongKongDeepTravel Wedding Card Street (Lee Tung Street) is located in Wan Chai. Although it has been transformed into a modern shopping district due to redevelopment, it remains a nostalgic landmark for deep travel in Hong Kong. In the past, this 200-meter street was the heart of Hong Kong's printing industry. From the 1970s to the 1980s, it was famous for wedding card printing, with Tong Lau shops lining the street showcasing exquisite wedding cards, attracting newlyweds and tourists alike, carrying countless happy memories. Today, the redeveloped Lee Tung Street has transformed into a European-style pedestrian street, with red lanterns hanging high, yet it gathers international brands and unique restaurants, such as the Japanese DJAPA and the Thai dessert shop After You, blending Eastern and Western flavors. Sculptures and garden rest areas on the street preserve a touch of the old days. Regular markets and lantern exhibitions add a festive atmosphere, like the sea of colorful lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hong Kong singer Kay Tse’s song "Wedding Card Street" has given this street a cultural symbol, singing the bittersweet changes over time. Nearby, the Blue House and Stone Nullah Lane continue the old community vibe of Wan Chai. Strolling through, traditional herbal tea shops and trendy cafes alternate. Wedding Card Street, through a dialogue between past and present, takes travelers away from typical attractions and deep into Hong Kong’s urban memories and renewed charm. #HongKongDeepTravel #WeddingCardStreet #LeeTungStreet #WanChaiCulture #HongKongHistory #NostalgicJourney
