DEFINITION

Noun

A former amusement park located in the vicinity of Kim Seng Road, River Valley Road and Zion Road. 

由来
  • 大世界于1929年落成，由一处华人坟场修建而成，为附近的低收入家庭提供娱乐休闲活动。
  • 尽管如此，当时一般公众对这些休闲活动的反应不佳，所以业主在1940年代初期将大世界卖给邵氏兄弟国际影业有限公司（Shaw Brothers Pictures International Limited）经营。
  • 二战过后，邵氏兄弟对大世界进行规划，把它发展成综合娱乐区，并定名为“大世界游艺场”。
  • 大世界共有四家电影院、一家夜总会及两家餐馆，每年也会举办两次商业展览会，因此成为人们吃喝玩乐的好去处。
  • 随着娱乐休闲的渠道增加，大世界的魅力不再，最终于1964年三月底落幕。
  • 1964年后，仅有戏院和餐馆一直营业到1978年才正式关闭。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Completed in 1929, Great World Amusement Park was built on the site of a former Chinese cemetery, and aimed to provide entertainment and leisure activities for the low-income families living nearby.
  • The initial response from the public was underwhelming, and in the early 1940s, the amusement park was sold to Shaw Brothers Pictures International Limited.
  • After the Second World War, Shaw Brothers developed Great World into an integrated entertainment venue and named it “Great World Amusement Park” (“大世界游艺场”).
  • Great World Amusement Park had four cinemas, one nightclub and two restaurants. It hosted two trade fairs yearly, and became a renowned destination for dining and entertainment.
  • Over the years, with more entertainment and leisure alternatives becoming available, Great World gradually declined in popularity and shut down most of its operations in March 1964.
  • After 1964, only the cinemas and restaurants remained open, until they too were closed in 1978.
