第一天,我地就化身成掌故王為大家簡單講下荷李活道的歷史。

The first day, there are some history about Hollywood Road .we would like to share with you.

第一問：荷李活道係幾邊到同幾時興建？

        Where and when?

        荷里活道，位於香港中環至上環，是香港開埠後興建的第一條街道。早在1841年英國人登陸香港島時便開始興建，在太平山山腳的荷李活道，早年尚未填海前乃接近海邊的，經過百多年來中環不斷填海，已遠離海傍甚遠。

A street in Central and Sheung Wan, on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It was the second road to be built when the colony of Hong Kong was founded, after Queen's Road Central. It was the first to be completed.

第二問：荷李活道同美國電影業的荷里活無沒有關係?

        Is there anything related to USA Hollywood?

很多人以為荷李活道得名自美國加州電影生產地荷里活，然而道路名稱其實源自早年荷李活道一帶種植的冬青樹（Hollywood），因此名為 Hollywood Road，中文則音譯為荷李活道。這名稱出現時，美國的荷里活尚未出現。據香港歷史學者蕭國健則指，Holly 是指當時一帶生長的榕樹。

NO, actually, It was probably named by Sir John Francis Davis, the second Governor of Hong Kong, after his family home at Westbury-on-Trym, near Bristol, England.[1] Another origin mentioned for the name is that holly shrubs were growing in the area when the road was constructed. Such plants were not indigenous to the area and would have been imported.

第三問：咁究竟荷李活道留底左幾多歲月的足跡?又有咩值得我地為中西區留戀既地方?

        Is there any special stories and history about the heritage, landmark or features?

Um…買個關子先!接住呢幾日我地SPD4459The Little White Shoes就會為大家一一介紹。

Um , Stay patient! We will tell all we know about the street in next few days. Please follow us and the blog SPD4459The Little White Shoes. See you !
