食完好西之後，小編們繼續找尋好去處 登登登凳－西 港 城 After eating good food, we found another good place - Western Market 小編們離遠見到呢橦建築物,再睇下啲建築風格(等陣再探討),都知佢應該有啲料到 Based on its architectural attributes, we believe that this building must have historical values. 西港城原來早喺1906年建成，前身係舊上環街市北座大樓，於 1990 年獲古物古蹟辦事處列為法定古蹟，現時為全港最古老的街市建築物。西港城在1991年修建過後，成為目前的模樣，是個傳統行業及手工藝的中心，也是一個商場。 The building was originally the old Western Market (North Block), which was identified by Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) as one of the Declared Monuments in 1990. At present, it is the oldest market building surviving in Hong Kong. 小編本身對建築方面都有少少認識，同大家分享少少 西港城的結構屬英國愛德華式建築風格。此種建築風格於 1901 至 1918 年期間在英國非常風行The building is in Edwardian style that was popular in England from 1901 to 1918. 大樓外型古樸，對稱軸線設計，空間寬敞實用。 The market is a combination of exuberantly classical facades and planning in a logical and spacious manner as inspired by the axial, symmetrical planning. 以紅磚及花崗石砌成主要結構，利用石塊色彩及紋理製造多色效果，而角樓外牆附有帶狀磚飾。 Combination use of red bricks and granite band on a granite base and the 'bandaged' brick work to the corner towers gives a polychromatic effect. (係咪睇到好眼瞓。。。其實小編對建築方面有多多唔認識，以上資料由西港城網頁提供 Source from Western Market Website: http://westernmarket.com.hk/eng/about.htm) 有樣特別野，喺西港城旁人行路，有個紅色圓柱型大郵筒 郵筒喺香港主權移交至中國前就係著紅色衫，回歸左之後就著左綠色衫 Something interesting, beside the Western Market sidewalk, there is a BIG red pillar type Posting Box. Red posting boxes are used before the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong. After 1997, posting boxes are mainly green in color. 其實佢好高...高過兩位小編 唔信？ 兔頭小編都差不多六呎高(好似係) 話說回來，西港城呢個商場入面有唔同賣特色工藝品同懷舊收藏品既店鋪，仲有黎自中環老街花布街的布匹店 In Western Market, there are some store selling art, food and cloth, for example crafts and handmade products. Also, there is a vintage store some textile shops from central located in Western Market
