Urban Renewal Authority | Tung Man Street Food Stall Beautification Project in Central

2019

Guan Fong Food Stall once engaged in the business of buying and selling birds and bird cages, and the previous stall owner also had the skills to make bird cages. Although the stall will be transformed into selling bamboo handicrafts, the birds and birdcages still play a very important role in the story of the stall owner and his family. Therefore, for this community beautification project, we used an old-style tea house as the theme and redesigned the appearance of the food stalls. We used the Hong Kong-style papier-mâché stone floor as the background to set off the birds and flowers of the same color.

Without the real bird, let the bird fly into the painting and continue to accompany the stall owner in opening and closing the stall every day. This second-level beautification will be based on an old-style teahouse theme, with Hong Kong-style papyrus flooring as the background, setting off birds and flowers of the same color.
