If you enjoy walking around, in Hong Kong, you’ll probably have noticed the flabbergasting amount of wasted opportunities the city is dotted with.
From sea-side promenades missing cozy terraces on which to behold the setting sun whilst enjoying an ice-cream or coffee, to monuments left to rot in plain sight, it seems Hong Kongers are unaware of the gem they are sitting on.
When you travel to Hong Kong, your first impression is one of sheer awe. As the airplane circles over the city, you’ll be given plenty of time to admire the city’s skyscrapers. A lot of skyscrapers. Nothing but… skyscrapers.
This unique mix of skyscrapers has given Hong Kong Island one of the most iconic skylines in the world.
Alas, Hong Kong may be beautiful from a distance, it is also far from beautiful.
