Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Odd picture

The picture of the teacup and bowl looks a bit odd. Shouldn't the cup be on the table and the rice bowl on the plate? LDHan 15:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Every restaurant has its very own way of how to put their cups and plates. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 16:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. LDHan 18:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

The picture at the top is not a restaurant in Hong Kong, it's a restaurant in Chatswood, Australia. I've lived in both countries and there aren't any restaurants in Hong Kong that still use those carts. Sausageman 10:21, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Thats Hong kong city hall. I have changed it back. You can also check the image license. It is part of a HK photo set. Even the comment saids HK city hall Benjwong 16:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mandarin version

Does this term 飲茶 exist in Mandarin? If this term is unique to Cantonese, then it is meaningless to include a Hanyu pinyin transcription of it. Instead, a translation of the term used in (Mandarin) Chinese should be given.

飲茶 doesn't exist in Mandarin. Sure, it does translate as "Drinking Tea," but that's not what it's implied in Cantonese. As the article correctly pointed out --- Yum Cha, as a way of eating breakfast, is limited to the Chinese people who are mostly Cantonese speaking. In fact, the pronunciation of “Yum Cha” is strictly Cantonese, a Mandarin speaker would pronunciation it different. TheAsianGURU 20:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Because dim sum is quite cantonese, yum cha would make sense as a name. The pinyin is like a translation bonus. Don't over analysize it. Benjwong 02:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classification and Pricing

• The "Classification and Pricing" section is badly in need of something resembling a reference to back up that rather interesting list of prices. It's a noteworthy chart, and I'm guessing it's probably based on someone's personal experience (and may be largely correct) but "in my experience" generally isn't a valid reference for an encyclopedia article. --Astarf (talk) 08:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
