BOLD NEW WORLD. SHOP OF WORSHIP/INCENSE SHOP SHANGHAI

April 12, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Bold New World is back and in Shanghai! Hiu Wing’s place of birth, and we are going to show you around. So we walked into a shop of worship/incense store and it turned out to be so much more! We felt we should share with you these colorful environs and explain their contents. This incense store, near a temple will mainly sell its wares to those visiting the temple to pay respects to their ancestors, or ask various deities for solutions and blessings. From incense packs of various sizes and forms, ie. links of coins etc., you will find many shops like this with colorful and ornate stocks. This particular shop also carries various Buddha sculptures and other ‘gods’ like the female figures of ‘Guanyin’ (Bodhisattva of compassion).

BOLD NEW WORLD. FABRIC MARKET

March 11, 2019 By Leave a Comment

#ComeWithMe to a #BoldNewWorld. For our third adventure, host Hiu Wing, and SPITGAN Magazine would like to shine some light on the old district of Sham Shui Po. Home to many industries, we would like to spotlight its history as a fashion district, specifically a fabric sourcing area first. In these streets you will find everything you need for garment construction. It is such a grand story with so many characters, we want to focus on the, “欽州街小販市場 Yen Chow Street Hawker Bazaar“. This particular market has been around for 40+ years. It’s fabrics are mostly deadstock and run-offs from mills. Visually the exterior is protected from the elements by weather-worn tarps, but the interior is a chaotic labyrinth of fabrics stacked floor to ceiling. It’s claustrophobic and awe-inspiring at the same time. This is the equivalent to a record-digger finding a warehouse full of vinyl. It would take you days, even weeks to sort through this place.

“For me, I like walking around the Prince Edward flower market when I m free. To smell the fresh flowers, thinking which ones to buy and take home. There are so many options here to enliven the environment you live in! I enjoy roaming slowly through the stalls, browsing the wares and letting the freshness spirit away my imagination. As is most of Hong Kong, Prince Edward’s flower market is always bustling with people. Come for the colorful view, and also come for the shop keeps belting out their impassioned, sales pitches. Such beautiful contractions in this place!” – Hiu Wing

BOLD NEW WORLD. CHINESE NEW YEAR 2019

February 7, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Bold New World hosted by Hiu Wing, shares with you the local color and celebrations of Chinese New Year. As you may know it’s the Year of the Pig, and this holiday is the equivalent of Christmas and New Year’s for Chinese people. Red is lucky, and it is everywhere. It’s so lucky peeps will buy new red underwear and socks just for the occasion. Red banners and signage are sold at all types of variety stores with phrasings and slogans for good health and fortune for the coming year. You might see fish, a symbol of keeping wealth and prosperity, or the word 福 (fok) which means “blessings”. These banners are hung everywhere from the main door to windows and walls, and some are even hand written by calligraphers.
