The development of Phoenix on the first floor

The "Phoenix House" of prostitution in Hong Kong was also called "Green Window Prostitute Village" in 1960s. This is because prostitutes who prostituted in this way painted the windows facing the street green in order to show them to their clients. At that time, this kind of Phoenix Building was mostly concentrated in the area of Jaffe Road in Wan Chai, and romantic veterans would naturally look for it along the path. In the late 1970s, Sheffield Road was rebuilt and the "Green Window Prostitute Village" was forced to move. Xifeng nests in Lockhart Road in Wan Chai, Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok. So far, these places have become the most concentrated places for prostitutes in Hong Kong.

In the 1990s, due to the rising property prices in the above areas, in order to reduce costs, the "Order of the Phoenix" gradually moved to the North Point in the east. At the same time, new development areas such as Tsuen Wan and Sham Shui Po have also become new concentrated areas of "one building and one phoenix". In 1980s, Hong Kong's "Feng Lou" usually displayed colorful neon advertisements such as "Too Beautiful", "Golden Cat", "Student Girl" and "Stay at Home Young Woman" on the sidewalk of this street, and marked the floor and room number of "Feng Jie" on the light box. Later, the British Hong Kong government passed the Crimes Amendment Ordinance, which stipulated that the police had the right to remove all indecent signs dealing in pornography. In order to avoid the police raid, since the 1990s, most of the signs of these "Phoenix Houses" have been changed to "Golden House A, 12 floor" and "Fangfang in Room B on the first floor", indicating only the floor and house number. There seems to be absolutely no obscene words. Some even put a piece of fluorescent paper in front of the door. In order to better attract business and not be interfered by the police, "Xifeng" and her operators usually advertise in newspapers. These advertisements are mostly under the guise of "seeking friends", "home care" and "home service", and are accompanied by contact numbers or addresses. Some even said that they can provide "full service". John knows that the so-called "full service" means that Xifeng does not set a restricted area when receiving customers, and can do anything at the request of customers. It is also selling your body, and the price of "one phoenix on the first floor" can be said to be lower. Compared with the "worth" of a nightclub lady, there is a world of difference. Besides, she is also a prostitute. Generally, women in Japanese nightclubs and even "Shiatsu Center" have the right to choose their guests, while "Xifeng" has no right to choose. For the sake of safety, the above-mentioned "Xifeng" who "sits on the bed to entertain guests" is often a few people renting a house in partnership, and then each uses a room; Or rent a house in a building where pornography is concentrated under the protection of the black forces. Since the 1990s, Hong Kong police have smashed dens where prostitution activities are concentrated in many anti-vice operations. In addition to "Feng Jie", there is another kind of "Feng Jie" who needs to go to the streets to solicit customers in person. This kind of "Xifeng" is called "Qi Jie Chicken", which is mostly concentrated in Yuanzhou Street, Guilin Street and Qinzhou Street in the deep water area. These "wind sisters" used to "sit on the bed and entertain guests." Because of their age and fierce competition, they have to "pimp" on the streets. When they find a guest in the street and negotiate the price, they will go upstairs to trade with the guest.
