香港遊踪 #3 – 葵涌廣埸逛街|Hong Kong To Walk #3 – Shopping in Kwai Chung Plaza

大家好！歡迎來到香港遊踪的第三步。前兩次我跟大家分享去了芙蓉山上拜佛，又去了酒店吃自助餐，今次就帶大家去逛一逛街吧。說到逛街，我想大家第一件想到的事情就是香港的各種名店吧；逛街的地方也是中環、銅鑼灣、尖沙咀那些名店林立的地方吧；商埸也大概是太子大廈、時代廣埸、海港城之類的大型商埸吧。可是，其實香港有很多有特色的地方是很好逛的，今天我就為你介紹一個 ─ 葵涌廣埸。

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Hong Kong to walk volume 3. The last two post I have shared visiting Chuk Lam Sim Yuen to worship the Phra Phrom, Buffet in Hotel Icon. So, this time, I would like to bring you guys a shopping time. When you first talk about shopping in Hong Kong, most of the people may think about those luxury store; and the location most be those place have so much luxury brand store, e.g., Central, Causeway bay and Tsim Sha Tsui; and most be those big shopping mall like Prince's Building, Time Square and Harbour City. However, Hong Kong actually have a lot of special place to walk. Today, I would like to introduce you one - Kwai Chung Plaza.

葵涌廣埸就在葵芳地鐵站的旁邊，回億葵涌廣埸就讓我想到我的中學時代，那個時候葵涌廣埸就已經在開了，裏面的都是小商店，在賣各種不同的東西。那個時候人們都還在玩電腦遊戲，葵涌廣埸可以說是其中一個盜版遊戲的大本營，我記得那時候放學後會在那裏買各種盜版遊戲回家玩。但時而世易，葵涌廣埸也開始越來越旺，商店都在不停的轉變，我上星期難得的往那裏走了一遍，接下來就跟大家分享一下吧。
Kwai Chung Plaza located exactly next to the Kwai Fong MTR station. When I think about Kwai Chung Plaza, it always brings me back to my memory of my secondary school, Kwai Chung Plaza already operated at that time. At that time, there are a lot of small store in the Kwai Chung Plaza, selling different kind of things. At that time, people still played computer games, and Kwai Chung Plazais one of the big pirated game selling place. But time changes, maybe because Kwai Chung Plaza got more and more visitor, shop over there also keep changing. And I finally have a time to visit there last week, and please let me share it with you guys.

首先，那裏跟以前一樣，還是有很多女生的服飾店，當中有平民的，也有比較貴的。什至有一些是標榜日本進口或是韓國代購的服飾店。不過由於我一個大男生不太好意思拍太多照片，所以，大家隨意的參考一下好了。可是賣遊戲機的店鋪卻一間也不剩了，大概是真的掙不到錢了吧。

First, it just almost the same as the past. There are a lot of store selling girl’s stuff, some store is selling fair quality and some store have better, and all depends on your target price. And there are some store gimmick themselves selling Japanese or Korean clothing. But for a boy like me, I am afraid to take too much photo about it, so please just reference some photo above. And I am kind of sad that I can't find any single game store in the plaza, maybe they really can’t make money from it now.

葵涌廣埸不像其他另的商埸一般有什麼特別的主題，它最大的特色大概就是它有很多不同種類的商店，而且主要都是小商戶，不像別的大型商埸一樣，全都是一式一樣的商店。我下面隨意的拍了一些相片給大家，大家可以參考一下。

Not like other shopping mall or plaza, Kwai Chung Plaza don’t have any specified theme, I think the most special theme for Kwai Chung Plaza is it have so many different stuff, and most of the shop is small store. Not like other shopping mall, they are all the same chain store. I have taken some photo to let you guys have a look on it.

首先，有各種手機配件的小店，也有賣包包、雨傘的百貨店。所以電話沒電、買太多東西以致袋子不夠用，或是下雨也都沒有問題。

First, it has shopping selling different mobile phone stuff. And it also has shop selling bag, umbrella. So, don’t worry your phone is out of battery or you buy too much and don’t have a bag to hold it. You don’t even need to worry about raining outside.

還有進口的零食店，跟自己量重的乾果小吃店。大家可以隨便的買來吃，都很便宜。不過小心吃太多上火了。

And there are snack shop selling imported snack, and also have shop selling dried fruit. You can just buy what you want to eat; it is just cheap for most of the thing. But just be careful that you eat too much and got sick.

然後呢? 連中藥店都有，大家要是上火了可以來看一看病，也可以來調理身體。

But don’t worry, there are numbers of clinic in the plaza. It even have the Chinese medical clinic, you may just simply visit there to try the Chinese medicine,

病了覺得面色不好嗎？沒關係，化妝品可以幫得到你!

And if you think you are not looking good because of sickness, no worry, there are cosmetic shop there.

覺得病得太嚴重，眼睛都快看不清楚了嗎？沒關係客官，去配一副眼鏡吧！

And if you feel too sick that you can’t even see thing clear, no worry, buy a glass!

病得冷汗出太多，髮型亂了嗎？沒問題，這裏有的是理髮店！

And if you are too sick and braves the cold sweat which makes your hair out of shape, no worry, there are a lot of salon in the plaza.

開始病好，覺得餓了嗎？這裏有各種街頭小吃，各種飯店！中、日、韓的都有。

And if you start to feel better and start getting hungry, there are lots of hot street snacks and many kinds of restaurant. You can of course find one you like.

而最後，我會建議你記得要去地下的金魚攤去玩一會，有很多可愛的小朋友陪著你玩。

Finally, don’t forget to visit the gold fish game booth on the ground floor. A lot of kids can play along with you.

這麼多年後葵涌廣埸我還是覺得很不錯的，你看，基本上你整天困在裏面也不會死。但最滿意的就是還是有很多不同類型的小店，就跟十多年前一樣，沒有太多的連鎖店鋪。不過東西的價格比以前貴了，以前我一個中學生在這裏隨便逛都覺得東西便宜，可現在我都工作了，反而覺得東西貴了，這到底是什麼世道。不過，我還是建議你有空的話來逛一逛，這裏可是比海港城跟時代廣埸有趣多了。

After all these years when I visit the Kwai Chung Plaza again, I still thing that it is quite nice. You can see that you can properly survive even you are tripped in there for a whole day. But what I love most is there are still a lot of different small store. Just like 10 years ago, there are not much chain store. However, the thing is getting expensive now. When I was just a secondary school student, I found things in there were just so cheap to buy. But when I am now working, I feel like thing is becoming expensive over there…howcome…However, I still suggest you visit and have a lot here. It is much more fun than the Time Square and Harbour City!
