搜羅大量資料、翻査大量地圖，以 1600 個官方及坊間地名鋪滿地圖，獨力耗費逾月匯編而成！

為了讓大家認識「銅鑼灣、旺角、觀塘…」以外的香港地名，本圖刻意用同一字體大小展示所有地名，不論市區、市郊、鄉郊、遠郊，甚至不毛之地，只要該處有地名，不管是官方、坊間，還是行山人士的叫法，都會記錄在本圖中（位置不足以記除外）。

地名字體採用「Road Research Society 道路研究社」製作之監獄體，以突顯香港本地特色。

除了 1600 個地名，還記有各島嶼名、岬角名、水域名、海灣名、主要水塘名、主要河流名、各陸路邊境管制站 等。
只要有位置，均塞爆塞滿，盡量不留白。

另設大量專欄，講述地名收錄準則、簡介香港地理、簡述香港歷史、細說十八區分界及三大地域、分享冷知識，

一圖吸收大量資訊，齊齊成為「香港地理達人」！

After gathering a large amount of data and searching through numerous maps, this map was compiled over the course of months, filled with 1,600 official and common place names. Its purpose is to introduce Hong Kong place names beyond those commonly known, such as Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, and Kwun Tong. All place names, whether official, un-official, or local names, from urban to suburban, rural, and remote areas, are recorded on this map with the same font size (except there is insufficient space).

The font used for the place names is the "Prison Gothic" created by the Road Research Society to highlight the local characteristics of Hong Kong. 

In addition to the 1,600 place names, the map also includes the names of islands, capes, waters, bays, major reservoirs, major rivers,  land border control points, and etc. Every location is filled to the brim as much as possible, with no white space left.

Numerous columns are also included, which cover the criteria for place name inclusion, an introduction to Hong Kong geography, a brief summary of Hong Kong history, a detailed explanation of the division of the 18 districts and the three major regions, and some other interesting facts.

With a wealth of information absorbed in one map, you can become a "Hong Kong Geography Expert"!

一　切　的　開　端
The beginning of everything

２００８・０１・１８

２００８年，剛從小學升上中一不久的我，萌生了一個奇怪的想法——

「如果我把一張地圖都塞滿地名，應該很有趣？」

於是１２歳的我執起鉛筆，嘗試實踐這個瘋狂的想法。

憑藉當時對香港地方的認識，我不斷在手繪的地圖上，用稚嫩的字逐一寫上地方名。於是就製成了上面這幅《香港全圖》(by １２歳的翊少，當時署名是「HARRY」）。

圖中可以明顯看到，當時我對港島和九龍的認識還不賴，但對新界（尤其山郊地方），近乎零認識，結果造成許多留白。

In 2008, shortly after I had just graduated from primary school and entered secondary school, I had a strange idea: 

"Wouldn't it be interesting if I filled a map with as many place names as possible?"

So, at the age of 12, I picked up a pencil and attempted to bring this crazy idea to life. With my limited knowledge of Hong Kong's geography at the time, I painstakingly wrote down every place name I could recall on a hand-drawn map.

And so, the above "Hong Kong Complete Map" (by 12-year-old Xotarios, signed as "HARRY") was created. As you can clearly see, my knowledge of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon was not bad, but I knew almost nothing about the New Territories, particularly the rural areas, resulting in many blank spaces on the map.

十　四　年　後
After 14 years...

２０２２・１０・２０

在把這個念頭忘記了足足１４年後，我已經由一個毛都沒長齊的少年、變成了一個整天都在講食字gag（諧音梗）的青年。然後在１０月的某一天，我的大腦突然重新喚起了這個曾經的童年狂想。

我隨即把這個念頭，以 Photoshop 嘗試在「香港島」的空白地圖上復刻出來。
這張空白地圖（包含全香港）本來是打算製作新版的《香港鐵路網狂想圖》，而從地政總署的地圖上自行把陸地外形鎅出來的。
最終卻首先成了這個「地名塞滿地圖」的復刻念頭試作。

After forgetting this idea for a full 14 years, I went from a boy with barely any pubic hair to a young man who spends his days making cringy puns. Then, one day in October, my brain suddenly recalled this childhood fantasy.

I immediately attempted to recreate this idea in Photoshop by filling in the blank map of Hong Kong Island. This blank map (including the whole of Hong Kong) was originally intended to create a new version of the "Hong Kong Railway Fantasy Map" by tracing the land outline from the maps of the Lands Department. However, it eventually became the prototype for this "Map Filled with Place Names" idea.

效果看起來不賴！於是繼續擴展……

The result looks pretty good! So, I continued to expand it...

接下來是九龍…
Next is Kowloon...

葵靑、淸水灣一帶…
Kwai Tsing, Clear Water Bay...

沙田、大埔一帶…
Sha Tin, Tai Po...

粉嶺、上水、沙頭角…
Fanling, Sheung Shui, Sha Tau Kok...

錦田、落馬洲…
Kam Tin, Lok Ma Chau...

然　後 ……
And then...

然後我有點膩了。

我把整張圖都擱在一邊，回去窩裏把我的 Splatoon 3 努力升上 S+ 排位 。整個計劃被擱署了足足……


半年。


現在回頭看，
看着那個半途而廢的我，只有一個結論……

《Splatoon》眞好玩。

And then I got a bit bored. 

I set the whole map aside and went back to playing Splatoon 3, trying to rank up to S+. The entire project was put on hold for...


Six months.


Looking back now, seeing my abandoned project halfway through, there's only one conclusion to be drawn...

Splatoon is really fun.

監　獄　體　的　出　現
Prison Gothic appeared

道路研究社於２０２２年１１月，因應監獄體衆籌計劃達標，正式發布【監獄體】這個在香港路牌上曾經大量存在的傳統手工字體。

於是我在２０２３年４月，重新燃起了完成那幅地名地圖的意志(?)後，所有地名改用監獄體，以突顯香港的地方特色。

In November 2022, the Road Research Society launched the "Prison Gothic" after successfully crowdfunding the project. This traditional handcrafted font was once widely used on road signs in Hong Kong.

As a result, in April 2023, I rekindled my will(?) to complete that map filled with place names, and changed all the place names to the Prison Gothic to highlight the local characteristics of Hong Kong.

與此同時，我把整個作品由 Photoshop 搬去 Illustrator 製作。

到底哪個白痴會用 Photoshop 製作一幅滿是文字圖層的圖像？（*指着自己*）

Meanwhile, I transferred the entire project from Photoshop to Illustrator for production.

Who in their right mind would use Photoshop to create an image filled with text layers? (*points to myself*)

屯門、元朗…
Tuen Mun, Yuen Long...

大嶼山、離島…
Lantau and other Islands...

島嶼名、海灣名…
Island and bay names...

附上分區和地域插圖……
Adding small district maps...

塞爆説明文字……
Filling with explanatory text...

最　終
Finally

這幅瘋狂的地圖就誕生了！
 this crazy map was born!

My childhood fantasy has finally
come true after 15 years!

如同我的首頁所説：“_with AI, fantasies come true_”
不過今次的ＡＩ，是指 Adobe Illustrator XD

As my homepage says, "_with AI, fantasies come true_"
- but this time,
the AI refers to Adobe Illustrator. XD
