| I got the following email from a guy in Hong Kong explaining this picture |
Hi Steve,
I like the style of your photos taken in Asia. For your information, the street shown in the photo "A typical street, somewhere in Hong Kong" is called Johnston Road.
The Chinese restaurant in the photo is called "Lun Mun Chow Ka". "Lun" is dragon, "Mun" is door, "Chow Ka" is restaurant. It is one of the oldest restaurants in Hong Kong. This name originated from the famous hotel in the TANG DYNASTY (618-907AD) in Xian, a major transportation hub on the Silk Road. Since Dragon represents Middle Kingdom (Chinese nation), "Lun Mun" means the door of ancient China towards the outside world, via Silk Road.
You see. There is deep knowledge even in a typical street somewhere
