~ Life in Lucky Village 40 years ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucky Village was not called \u201cLucky Village\u201d 40 years ago. It was called \u201cYu Mong Chuen\u201d, which carried the meaning of \u201cFish Net Village\u201d. From its old name, we could easily know that the village was just a traditional and simple one and its villagers made a living by fishing in the plain good old days. This village is located in Yau Tong, at the coastal area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that the village just has a simple background, but a wonderful story has been long told by the villagers there: \u201cIf couples go to the village and kiss at the \u201cBridge of Love\u201d, they would be blessed by the god, and they could step into the next stage of life together soon.\u201d This started the epic story of the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~An event that changed Lucky village<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1993, a movie \u201cLovers in Lucky Village\u201d was shown on the screen in the cinema. The movie was filmed in Yu Mong Chuen, and the whole plot of the movie was based on the story told by the old villagers. As the movie had become the blockbuster of that year, the village became well-known by Hong Kong people. Even the British Hong Kong governor, Mr Patten, visited the village in 1995 when Hong Kong was still under the British rule. Starting from that time onwards, outsiders started to call this village \u201cLucky Village\u201d instead of \u201cYu Mong Chuen\u201d. And with this brand new name, the village has become more and more famous, and more and more local people visit the village, and the village has changed from a traditional fishing village to a traveling spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~What Lucky Village is famous for<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After \u201cYu Mong Chuen\u201d has changed to \u201cLucky Village\u201d, the village becomes a tourist spot where couples would like to visit. In these 20 years, more and more villagers decided to move to the city, but some also choose to stay. There are cafes, photo-taking shops, and cake-baking shops opened by the villagers. They are fabulous places for couples to go on a date. Moreover the bridge, where couples could marry after they had kissed in the old days, turned into a love lock bridge, where couples leave their promises on the locks. On Instagram, there are numerous posts, featuring the bridge. It would be great if you could visit with your other half, but it is still a good place for you to relax and leave a post on social media!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
