PLAYGROUND ROUNDABOUT

In the early 20th century, when Hong Kong was in economic depression and social welfare was not yet in place, many unsupervised children were playing in the streets, easily becoming child gangs and causing social problems. In 1929, the Government began to build the first playgrounds in the urban areas to allow children to spend their time and energy. At that time, there were many children playing in the playgrounds every day, and there was a long queue for the rides, one of which was the Taipa turn. In the early days, the Taipa Wheel was a spinning conical steel frame that could even be tilted and rotated, and children loved to push it hard, spin it at great speed and jump on it until it stopped. Although it is a little dangerous, it is safer if accompanied by an adult.

WOO CHEONG PAWN SHOP

One of the oldest pawnshops in Hong Kong, the Woo Cheong Pawnshop, located at 60-66 Johnston Road, Wan Chai, is one of the few surviving pawnshops in a promenade style building with four adjoining balconies, built in 1888. After the opening of Hong Kong, a large number of workers and merchants came to Hong Kong to earn a living, and the pawnbroking industry flourished, with many interesting terms being bandied about, such as "Second Uncle" and "Longevity Treasury". At that time, all customers had to do was to meet the age requirement, present their identity cards or passports, hand in their pawned goods and receive payment after being valued by the "Chao Fung" on the six-foot counter. Pawnshops were a popular business at the time because of their efficiency, the fact that they did not require any proof of income, the low interest rates and the unique advantage of having no 'hand-me-downs' to follow. Pawnshops have endured through Hong Kong's constant transformation and continue to grow with generations of Hong Kong people.
