One of the attractions in the park - the Lion Peeping Garden is next to "Guangming Road". This "Guangming Road" is the name of a street passing by the walled city. Talking about the streets of the Walled City, the structure is extremely complicated. Reinforced concrete buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The illegal expansion is serious. The streets are as narrow as corridors. There are 8 to XNUMX streets and alleys crisscrossing the city, but there are XNUMX main streets in total. The main roads from south to north include: Longjin Road, Longjin Road, and Dongtou Village Road; the main streets from east to west include: Longcheng Road, Guangming Street, Laoren Street, Dajing Street, and Xicheng Road.
Longjin 6th Street is the place where most "outsiders" come in. Pornographic establishments, casino drug distribution centers, mahjong parlors, Pai Gow stalls, fan stalls, dog meat restaurants, and opium dens are all here. As for Guangming Street, it has the most drug shops. The drug shops light many candles for drug users to use and identify. Therefore, Guangming Street is said to be the brightest street in the city. Drug addicts call taking drugs "charge", and these drug shops are called "Radio". Guangming Street was later converted into food production, manufacturing fish eggs, pig meat, bowl cakes, roasted pig, roasted duck, etc. It is believed that it was an underground food factory with poor sanitary conditions. But it is said that the products of these factories supplied about 60% of the restaurants in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s. The walled city is full of mystery, and of course there are many strange rumors. It is said that one summer in the early 1980s, a foul smell came from a certain building in the walled city. Since the environment in the walled city was already very bad and the fish egg factory always smelled bad, no one paid attention to it for several weeks. But because the smell was so strong, neighbors discovered that the smell came from a home on the fourth floor. Amid the stench, there was also the smell of rice, mixed with the smell of sausage. The police officers came to the scene and knocked on the door. A little girl about six or seven years old came to open the door. An extremely stench suddenly came out of the house. One police officer vomited on the spot. Another police officer asked the little girl if there were any adults at home, and the girl replied Said, "Mom is not feeling well and is resting in the room." The little girl then opened the door and let two police officers enter the house. The police officer unexpectedly saw the female body, which was all black and leaking body fluids, lying on the bed in this small room. In addition to the little girl who opened the door, there was also a younger little girl who was doing her homework. The two seemed to ignore the stench and corpses in the house. The girl who opened the door even said that her mother was asking them to go to school after eating. The police officer found steamed rice with sausages that had just been cooked in the kitchen, and asked the little girl who made it. The little girl actually said that her mother made it, and just after it was done, her mother turned around and walked into the room to rest. Not long after, she heard The police uncle came and knocked on the door. After investigation, the police found that the mother of the two sisters was an illegal immigrant and had been living in the walled city without going out. Their father had abandoned her and her daughter long ago, and the neighbors had never seen any visitors or friends from them. It was certain that they did not have any visitors. Someone would be willing to cook for the two sisters in a place with rotting corpses and an unpleasant smell. The smell had been spreading for more than a month, and the two sisters said from beginning to end that it was their mother who cooked for them. The two sisters were finally placed in a charity group. During this period, no relatives or friends came to visit. Who was taking care of the two sisters? And who made the steamed rice with sausage? Thinking about all this can give you chills down your spine. Of course, because it's so old, it's unclear whether it's a legend or a fact.
