Akamoku's Hong Kong Journey: Rednaxela Terrace Sign Post - Postcard Set (2pcs)

Akamoku - Discovering Hong Kong's Charms While riding the Mid-Levels Escalator, I noticed the street sign "列拿士地臺" and found the name quite novel. Seeing its English translation, "Rednaxela Terrace" – it struck me as a name that reads differently depending on the direction! Two Hong Kong postcards, one for your collection, and one to send to a dear friend, sharing the joy of discovering new things together. Postcard dimensions: approx. 105 x 148mm, Ivory cardstock. Wikipedia: Rednaxela Terrace is a pedestrian-only area located in the Mid-Levels district of Hong Kong, along the escalator pathway. It spans approximately 63 meters, stretching from Peel Street in the west to Shelley Street in the east, and runs parallel to Prince's Terrace and Gurkhas' Terrace. Origin of the Name: The English name "Rednaxela Terrace" is an anagram of "Alexander." This has led to a popular theory that the terrace was originally named in honor of someone called Alexander. It is speculated that the Chinese translator, accustomed to writing from right to left, reversed the spelling of "Alexander" to create "Rednaxela." The government reportedly made no changes to the street name once it was established. However, despite this popular legend in Hong Kong, Jiang Hua, a Chinese writer from the Philippines who studied in Hong Kong and worked as an editor for a Hong Kong publisher, later writing columns under pseudonyms like "Huang Xinyi" for the Philippine World Journal, holds a different view. ....................................
