Hong Kong is a city that brings to mind scenes from a movie.
If you’re a fan of Hong Kong cinema, you could truly enjoy a trip to Hong Kong by visiting places from the movies.
Hong Kong has many places where travelers can feel the old atmosphere.
However, many of these places have closed due to COVID-19, causing a sense of loss.

The ‘Goldfinch Restaurant’ in Hong Kong was featured in the movie ‘In the Mood for Love’.
It was a popular spot that brought to mind Leslie Cheung and Maggie Cheung, where you could enjoy the old Hong Kong vibe.
It was a restaurant where you could taste the Western cuisine of Hong Kong, boasting a history of 60 years.
However, its closure has caused much disappointment among many people.

‘Lin Heung Tea House’ is a famous dim sum house in Hong Kong with a 104-year tradition.
Opened in 1918, it was a famous restaurant that adhered to traditional methods.

However, it closed its doors in 2022 due to difficulties in operation caused by the spread of COVID-19.
At the time, they conveyed through their official SNS, “We did our best, but due to the worsening business conditions caused by COVID-19, we had to close. Thank you for your support over the years.”

This place was also popular among Korean tourists and was introduced in ‘Baek Jong-won’s Top 3 Chef King’.

② Places That Were Essential Courses for Hong Kong Travel

‘Hui Lau Shan’ is a representative dessert brand in Hong Kong.
Walking the streets with sweet mango juice in hand was considered an essential course in Hong Kong.
The cool and delicious mango juice was greatly loved in the hot weather of Hong Kong.

However, Hui Lau Shan, which has been in place for over 60 years, is no longer visitable.
In 2020, it was surprising to learn that Hui Lau Shan was in crisis.
In the end, Hui Lau Shan could not survive and disappeared into the memories of many.

The ‘Hong Kong Central Starbucks Concept Store’ in Hong Kong Central was a must-visit course for tourists visiting Hong Kong.
However, it has become a place that can no longer be visited due to its closure.
This place was attractive for its vintage interior that reminded people of Hong Kong in the 1970s.

It was a place where travelers could enjoy a special sentiment that could only be felt in Hong Kong.
Currently, the ‘Starbucks Mongkok Concept Store’ in Mongkok is still in operation.
Although it has a different atmosphere from the Central Starbucks Concept Store, you can still feel the vintage sentiment.

③ Famous Photo Spots Will Disappear Soon

‘Choi Hung Estate’ is a famous photo spot for Hong Kong travel.
This place is a large apartment in Hong Kong built in 1962.
With a whopping 7,400 households, it’s a place where you can glimpse Hong Kong’s residential culture.

In particular, it was popular among tourists for its colorful appearance, basketball court, and palm trees.
It was also popular among the younger generation in Hong Kong and often appeared on social media.
The Rainbow Apartment became famous as the filming location for the music video of the group SEVENTEEN.

However, the Hong Kong government announced the redevelopment of the Rainbow Apartment, which will soon disappear.
The redevelopment of the apartment is expected to take about 15 years.
As it’s a place that has been around for a long time, the residents are welcoming the news of redevelopment.
