Y.W.C.A. Hioe Tjo Yoeng College

The Y.W.C.A. Hioe Tjo Yoeng College (HTYC; Chinese: 基督教女青年會丘佐榮中學) is a Hong Kong secondary school. A coeducational school subsidised by the government, it is in the Ho Man Tin, a residential area in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Established in 1971, HTYC is run under the sponsorship YWCA and was founded with a donation from Hioe Tjo Yoeng and his wife. History The Y.W.C.A. Hioe Tjo Yoeng College (HTYC) is at 6 Sheung Wo Street in Ho Man Tin, a residential area in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Lady Black, the wife of Hong Kong colonial administrator Robert Black, put down the cornerstone signifying the start of construction on 15 October 1963. Lady Black stated at the ceremony, "As Patron of the Hongkong Chinese Women's Club, I am delighted to be here today to lay the foundation stone for the school, for which the members of the Club have worked so hard to show, in a positive way, their willingness to help the less fortunate people in this Colony. This school, when it is completed, will be a symbol of cooperation between all members of the varied community of Hongkong." When construction began, the school was estimated to cost $500,000 to build. After construction was completed, the total construction cost was $2.5 million. Hioe Tjo Yoeng and his wife donated $500,000 to construct the school and $20,000 for school supplies, while the government covered 80% of the construction expenses. HTYC, a coeducational secondary, became the first school operated by YWCA to be government subsidised. The school had an opening ceremony on 26 January 1972 that was presided over by John Canning, Hong Kong's Director of Education. Ellen Li, who was serving as a Legislative Council of Hong Kong Unofficial Member, became the school's supervisor when it opened. Although HTYC could enrol up to 700 students, it had enrolled 249 students by January 1972 who would attend six Form I and II classes. When the first classes were held in September 1972, there were 280 enrolled students. HTYC began enroling students in form five in 1974 and started offering A-level courses in 1976. The school in 1985 had classes from form one to form seven. That year, it had 700 students, 33 instructors, and 19 classes. Kwok Sai-man (Chinese: 郭世民), an HTYC alumnus, became its principal in 2021.

Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market

Ovocný trh Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market (čínsky 油 麻 地 果 欄), známý také jako Kowloon Wholesale (Fruit) Market (Kau-lunský velkoobchod s ovocem) nebo Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market (velkoobchod s ovocem Yau Ma Tei), se nachází v okrese Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hongkong. Trh je ohraničen ulicemi Ferry Street, Waterloo Road und Reclamation Street (a jednou ulicí beze jména). Další historický objekt, divadlo Yau Ma Tei Theatre, se nachází jen pár metrů přes Reclamation Street. Historie Trh s ovocem v Yau Ma Tei byl postaven a otevřen v roce 1913. Původní název byl Government Vegetables Market (政府 蔬菜 市場). Zatímco se na trhu původně prodávalo pouze ovoce a zelenina, usadili se na trhu ve 30. letech 20. století také obchodníci s rybinou, prodávala se drůbež a další potraviny. V polovině 60. let se přesunul obchod se zeleninou a rybami na nově otevřený velkoobchodní trh se zeleninou Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Vegetable Market (長沙灣蔬菜批發 市場) a velkoobchodní trh s rybinou Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Fish Market (長沙灣魚類批發市 場). Trh Yau Ma Tei se poté specializoval výhradně na ovoce. Vzhled, charakter trhu Areál trhu se od prosince 2009 nachází v seznamu historických budov státního úřadu pro památky (Antiquities and Monuments Office) jako objekt kategorie II. Trh hraje důležitou roli při zásobování Kowloonu. V letech 2014 až 2015 se zde prodalo 317 000 tun ovoce, což je přibližně 47 procent z celkového množství ovoce prodaného v Hongkongu během této doby. Na trhu o celkové ploše 14 000 čtverečních metrů se nachází v průměru asi 250 obchodníků. Stánky na trhu mají jedno až dvě patra. Horní místnosti se dnes již nepoužívají jako byty, ale jako sklady a hygienická zařízení. Prodejní stánky jsou vyrobeny z cihel a kamene. Většina chodeb v trhu je zastřešena nebo lemována arkádami. Spor o lokalitu trhu Mimo zásobování obyvatelstva je trh Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market také velkoobchodem a dodává ovoce dalším maloobchodníkům. O to intenzivnější je proto provoz i během problematických hodin, zejména nočních. V průběhu let obdržely úřady skutečně četné stížnosti na hluk, zejména v nočních hodinách, na problémy s dopravou a hygienou ap. Již v roce 1969 navrhla hongkongská výkonná rada (Executive Council) vládě, aby uvažovala o přesunu trhu na jinou lokalitu. To bylo také diskutováno, po roce 2007 pak intenzivněji, všechny alternativy však narážejí na silný odpor: obchodníci se obávají finančních výdajů, a existuje také obava, že pro trh důležitá tradiční komunita by zanikla. Dosavadní řešení proto dosud spočívaly v různých změnách silničního vedení, zklidnění provozu ap.

Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market

The Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, officially Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market, also simply known as the Fruit Market, is a wholesale fruit market in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Etymology It is known as gwo laan (果欄) in Cantonese. gwo (果) means fruit while laan (欄) means wholesale market, derived from railing and enclosed area. History The market was founded in 1913 between Ferry Street, Waterloo Road and Reclamation Street with Shek Lung Street passing through it. The name of the market was originally Government Vegetables Market (政府蔬菜市場) which sold fruit and vegetables. Fish traders joined in the 1930s. With the opening of Cheung Sha Wan Vegetables Wholesaling Market (長沙灣蔬菜批發市場) and Cheung Sha Wan Fishery Wholesaling Market (長沙灣魚類批發市場) in Cheung Sha Wan in 1965, the vegetables and fish stalls moved out. From then on the market has operated as a specialist fruit wholesaling market. The market was then officially known as Kowloon Wholesale Fruit Market until the name was transferred to Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Market Complex in 1990. Features The market is a historically valuable site and is classified as a Grade II Historic Building since 2009. It consists of several blocks of one or two storey brick and stone buildings. Pre-World War II signboards are on the outer walls of the buildings. Another historical building, Yau Ma Tei Theatre is adjacent to the market, across Reclamation Street. Market operation Many wholesalers still operate in the market. The busiest hours are 4 to 6 o'clock in the morning. Lorries and carts deliver boxes of fruit in and out of the market. Transportation Yau Ma Tei station Exit B2 KMB Route 10 and Citybus Route 20 In popular culture Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market is used as a backdrop for 2018 TVB drama series Apple-Colada. In the 2024 martial arts action film Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, a fictionalized Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market is controlled by the crime lord, Mr. Big.

Yau Ma Tei Police Station

Yau Ma Tei Police Station is a former police station in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Its buildings at No. 627 Canton Road, at the junction of Public Square Street, were erected in 1922 after relocation from the junction of Public Square Street and Shanghai Street. The station closed on 22 May 2016 (except for the reporting centre, which will remain open to the public). A new station of the same name opened on that date at No. 3 Yau Cheung Road. History Yau Ma Tei Police Station was built in 1922. Additions were made after World War II, including a 1957 extension wing to serve as barracks and an accommodation block, to the west of the existing station. During the 1966 riots, the police station was attacked by a mob but the police managed to suppress it rapidly. Architecture The neoclassical Main Block is built in Edwardian Free Style. There is a traditional portico on both sides of Canton Road and Public Square Street. The main entrance is a semi-circular portico set in the indented corner at the junction of Public Square Street and Canton Road. Such indented corners are features often used for feng shui reasons. Conservation status On 18 December 2009, the building was classified as a Grade II historic building. Part of the new wing which was constructed in the 1950s is proposed to be underpinned as part of the reprovisioning works associated with the construction of the three-laned Central Kowloon Route in order to retain the structure of the existing structural form for the benefit of future generations. The original building has a large side gate opening onto Public Square Street, to the right of the main entrance. This gate has been permanently locked since at least the late 1970s, because opening is deemed unlucky after a number of shooting incidents involving officers who left the station via the gate. In one corner of the compound there is a small shrine to ward off the bad fung-shui which some believe to be created by the adjacent Gascoigne Road Flyover. In the wake of growing heritage conservation awareness following the demolition of the Star Ferry Pier in Edinburgh Place, lawmakers are threatening to block funding of the project. Cultural appearances The Yau Ma Tei Police Station is the location of a scene of the 2001 film Rush Hour 2. However, because the scene called for an explosion, the real filming had to be done in a movie studio, where wires and other special effects could be used. The station was also featured in the 2007 TVB programme On the First Beat. It was used multiple times for shots of the canteen, locker rooms, and other locations.

Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter

Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter (Chinese: 油麻地避風塘) is a typhoon shelter located near Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. History The Government of Hong Kong planned for the construction of a second typhoon shelter after (the old) Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter in late 1906. In 1908 the Public Works Department decided to construct the typhoon shelter at Yau Ma Tei. Works on the typhoon shelter lasted from 1910 to 1915. The cost was HK$2.21 million. The typhoon shelter was officially opened by Sir Francis Henry May, then Governor of Hong Kong, on 16 December 1915. The Yau Ma Tei Boat People settled in the shelter from around 1916 to 1990. The West Kowloon Reclamation Project began in 1990 as part of the Airport Core Programme, which required a replacement for the original typhoon shelter. The new typhoon shelter was built to the west of the original one, and was completed in 1992. Housing estates built on the reclaimed land of the initial typhoon shelter include: Park Avenue, Charming Garden and Hoi Fu Court. To improve the water quality of the typhoon shelter, construction of dry weather flow interceptor at Cherry Street box culvert started on 19 December 2017, and it is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.

Yau Tong Estate

Yau Tong Estate (Chinese: 油塘邨) is a public housing estate in Yau Tong, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, located near Yau Tong station of the MTR. Background Yau Tong Estate was a resettlement estate with 23 blocks built in 1964, 1965 and 1971 respectively, all of which were demolished in the 1990s. The estate was originally redeveloped in phases. However, the airport relocation and MTR Tseung Kwan O line construction caused delays in the redevelopment project. In the end, nearly all blocks were demolished at one time in the late 1990s, rather than by phases. After redevelopment, four blocks were built in 2000 and 2002 respectively. In 2002, Ching Mei House (Block A) of Yau Mei Court was converted from Home Ownership Scheme to rental housing, and renamed Mei Tong House.

Yau Ma Tei Theatre

Yau Ma Tei Theatre (chinesisch 油麻地戲院), auch YMTT, selten Yaumati Theatre, einst das größte Kino in Kowloon, Hong Kong, befindet sich im Stadtteil Yau Ma Tei (Kowloon, Hong Kong) an der Kreuzung Waterloo Road und Reclamation Street. Ein anderes historisches Objekt, Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, befindet sich nur wenige Meter über die Reclamation Street entfernt. Geschichte und Architektur Den Quellen zufolge wurde das Gebäude zwischen 1925 und den späten 1920er Jahren erbaut. Es ist das letzte von vielen Kinos in Hong Kong, die in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren erbaut wurden. Die Stadtverwaltung entschied im Zeitraum 2007/2008, dass das Yau Ma Tei Theatre zur Bühne für die Kanton-Oper umgewandelt wird. Die ursprünglichen 500 Besuchersitze wurden auf 300 reduziert. Wie alle Kinos in Hong Kong, die in der Zeit nach der Pariser Ausstellung Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (1925) gebaut wurden, so zeigt auch das Yau Ma Tei Theatre die dekorativen Elemente des Neoklassizismus und des Art Deco. Das Yau Ma Tei Theatre wird seit Dezember 2009 vom staatlich geführten Antiquities and Monuments Office (Amt für Altertümer und Denkmäler) in der Liste der historischen Gebäude als Objekt der Kategorie II gelistet.

Yuen Long Public Secondary School

Yuen Long Public Secondary School is a school located in Yuen Long. In 1936, community members of Yuen Long felt that all primary school pupils in the district could not continue with secondary schooling. Seeing this, local community leaders initiated the establishment of a secondary school for the local students which led to fund-raising campaigns over a ten-year period. History In 1946, the school was the first secondary school established by the Government in the New Territories. The school moved into the campus at Au Tau in 1949 and moved again in 1989 to the present modern campus in Town Park Road South, Yuen Long. The School Improvement Programme, scheduled for expansion with a total floor area of 1030 square metres, was completed in September 2003. The new annex was officially opened on 30 October 2003. As early as the 1930s, there were no government or aided secondary schools established in the New Territories. There were only a few private secondary schools. Most students had to travel to Kowloon or Hong Kong Island to enter secondary schools. Therefore, the squires of Yuen Long began to raise funds for construction in 1936. The middle school, Yuen Long Public Middle School was completed in 1946. Because the Yuen Long Public High School was originally built by the squires of Yuen Long and raised about 100,000 funds. At that time, the Education Department had the enthusiasm of the squires, and also injected about 100,000. The squires saw the support of the government, so they learned about the management rights. As for the government, the government also thanked the squires for giving back to the society, so it named the school "Yuen Long Public Secondary School" instead of "Yuen Long Government Secondary School" and became the only "government secondary school" named "Public". The lyrics of the school song are also Yun: “The gov’ment at the helm. It’s pub-lic trait shows its goal” At first, Yuan zhong school was established in Au tou, and then moved to the current site next to Yuen Long Park in Buffalo Ridge in 1989. The expansion project was completed in 2003. [1] The original site of Autou is now the Ma Zhen yu Memorial Middle School of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.
