"HONG KONG: just a fast visit" Hong Kong by shivan


Hong Kong Travel Guide: 10,111 reviews and 18,979 photos

Hi! We landed in Hong Kong on a warm morning, and we have been quickly downloaded at the hotel by the drivers.

We had a few time to spend in Hong Kong 'cos we had to leave the morning after, next destination Shenzhen. We spent an interesting afternoon and night in HK walking the crowdy streets and enjoying a humanity so far different from us.

The weather was very hot and humid even if in february. Climate is unpredictable anyway...

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:...travelling 10000 kms away from home for free...
  • Cons:I would have been nice if chinese would have told us about SARS before we left Rome
  • In a nutshell:How many are them????
  • Last visit to Hong Kong: Feb 2003

    non è giusto che chi è sperto/a in lingue, lavori in ufficio e chi ha più esperienza "tecnica" lo mandino: ...travelling 10000 kms away from home for free... :-P...!!!

    I like the local shopping in HK but the larger ones are amazing. HK is definitely pretty by night, you captured it well. You got around well in your short time.
