Western District and Sheung Wan 西環/上環 HK

1. Western Street西邊街/2. Middle Street正街/3. Eastern Street東邊街 - all these 3 street mark the area as Sai Yin Pun 西營盤, and leading up to the western mid-levels.
4/5/6. on Queen's Rd. West.
7. See how the road side construction is beautified with some flower and green.
8. Some very stylish balconies.
9/10. These 2 classic shops witness the growth of Sheung Wan. Some Malay Cantonese speaking Chinese are in the shop, speaking words like “無相干(doesn't matter), 侵侵(mix it) (this word reminds me of how we used to say 我哋侵埋你玩 (join us and play), but need to further clarify if it's the right word as I just guess it.

Oh this is very nostalgic.
We used to go to Chan E Chai for the almond drink and almond cookie.
Is Sheng Wan the place for all these dried stuff such as dried mushroom, dried scallop....?

TC, their almond drink is really good. After I took it, my stomach feels much better.
Pixmation, I like #8 the most. Thanks.
