I found a shop, Chocolate Rain Design near SOHO that selling full of unique and special handcrafted stuff. You can tell how unique is the shop from the shop design.
Not far from the SOHO area, I'd reached Victoria Prison. This is a prison that was built in 1841. IT was the first western building constructed of durable material in Hong Kong.
But too bad, I didn't have any chance to visit inside part of the oldest prison in HK. Therefore, I had no choice buy just took some snapshot around the prison.
Before entering Arbuthnot Road, I found a very interesting picture where the old prison actually is surounding by developed buildings.
Along the Arbuthnot Road, I saw Former Central Magistracy just located beside the road. It is a building that commenced in year 1913 and completed in year 1914.
The building has a majestic appearance with imposing pillars of the facade and other features in the Greek-revival style. The massive retaining walls were constructed with granite blocks.
Not far from Arbuthnot Road, before entering Lower Albert Road, I saw The Hong Kong Fringe Club. This building facing located at the junction of Wyndham Street, Glenealy Street and Lower Albert Road. The fringe club features and promotes theatre, dance, music and exhibitions of Hong Kong.
Standing at the junctions, we decided to walk along and passed through Lower Albert Road to reach Zetland Street before entering Queen's Road Central. Surprisingly, we saw another classic building, The Bishop's House along the Lower Albert Road. This building was completed in 1848. However, this building had been modernised in late 1960's.
There are more historical building located in Central, however, I did not have enough time as the day start getting dark. Eventhough Central best known as business center of Hong Kong, this is also a very historical place. I will definitely walking around and take more photo of Central again.
