🎂About Fringe Club🎂
🎍Fringe Club is a charitable organization, simply put, it's like a theater and gallery.
🎍Fringe Club provides exhibition and performance venues for local Hong Kong and international artists🌷, as well as a gathering and appreciation space for art lovers, with various exhibitions held regularly🍎, making it a vibrant contemporary art space🥑.
🥃About the Fringe Club Building🥃
🎍The Fringe Club is actually housed in a three-story building constructed at the end of the 19th century, one of the few historical buildings in Hong Kong that have been preserved to this day🌳.
🎍Originally, this building had many uses, including industrial, commercial, and residential. When the Fringe Club took over in 1984, it was in disrepair with many damages and leaks. After some passionate volunteers repaired it, the building was revitalized✨.
🎍Today, the Fringe Club building is recognized as a dynamic contemporary art space in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region🎁, becoming a valuable example of repurposing abandoned buildings and revitalizing declining communities🐾.
📷Photo Spots at Fringe Club📷
❗The Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC) Hong Kong, right across the street at the intersection, is a great spot for photos🥰;
❗The steps next to the FCC, good for both high-angle and low-angle shots🤳;
❗At the crosswalk right in front of the Fringe Club logo🚠, the subject should stay under the Fringe Club logo, while the photographer should go to the opposite side of the intersection to take the shot🚦;
❗Under the Fringe Club logo🌾, if you want to capture the street photography vibe, wait for the green light and have someone walk from the Fringe Club towards the intersection, capturing the moment will look very Hong Kong style🌹.

Great travelling in Qingdao and Haitian Hotel
5 days in Qingdao last week with families, staying in Haitian hotel on the last day, good value, location and service. Hotel opened in 2021, very new and convenient to Badaguan, marine culture areas and May Fourth Sq... And also the executive floor staff Jack and Steven provide excellent service. I will back there again.

Hong Kong Photography Guide It's really suitable for the Hong Kong style
1️⃣ North Point, pictures one and seven to nine, I took a ferry from Hung Hom Pier to North Point, 10 Hong Kong dollars. Navigate to the Monster Building and you can find this place, with many overpasses and colorful Ding Ding trams🚎
2️⃣ Fringe Club, pictures two to four, near Central MTR Station, this is a traffic light intersection, pay attention to find it
3️⃣ Central Ferris Wheel, pictures five and six, if you want to ride the Ferris wheel, it is recommended to buy tickets online in advance, we forgot and ended up queuing for half an hour on site
4️⃣ Alleys near Tsim Sha Tsui, picture ten, if you walk further down this street, you will reach the Chanel building, which I didn't capture well
5️⃣ It is recommended to take the Star Ferry once to experience Victoria Harbour, picture eleven was taken on the boat
6️⃣ Pictures twelve and thirteen were taken while wandering around after getting on the wrong bus, the streets are all very beautiful
The compatibility of Fujifilm cameras with Hong Kong is really 100 points💯
I really like the brightly colored Hong Kong
Walking on the streets of Hong Kong, the lyrics of Chen Chusheng's song keep spinning in my head, 'The distance between buildings is just a crevice' is quite realistic
Hong Kong's public transportation is really super convenient, buses have a high frequency of departures and there are a lot of routes, Ding Ding trams only cost three dollars which is cheaper than regular buses.
It's also very tiring, after walking 28,000 steps in one day my knees were in pain
