Central Market, Hong Kong|Step into the movie scenes of "The Silent War" and find Mr. Yip's backlit staircase

Central Market surprisingly hides the classic filming location of "The Silent War"! Follow in the footsteps of Mr. Yip, played by Wang Yibo, and check in at the stunning scene of "there is light at the end of the tunnel," immersing yourself in the film's retro atmosphere~ As you enter Central Market, you’ll instantly recognize the scene of Mr. Yip walking up the staircase against the backlight 🎞️! Sunlight streams through the arcade, casting shadows on the stone steps, and the interplay of light and shadow makes it feel like the tense emotions from the movie are flowing. It’s recommended to visit between 3-5 PM when the slanting sunset light most closely matches the film’s visuals. Stand in the middle of the stairs and shoot upwards to easily capture the same cinematic vibe! Besides the staircase, the market’s preserved vintage arches and terrazzo floors also exude a strong 1940s Republic of China style, making every casual photo look like a time travel back to that era. When you get tired of walking, you can sit down at a nearby cha chaan teng, order a pineapple bun with iced milk tea, and savor the movie’s lines while you eat~ As a fan of "The Silent War," visiting the filming location reveals the director’s clever touches in every detail! Next time you come to Hong Kong, be sure to stop by here and experience the charm where film and reality intertwine~
