Travel stories and photos from Hong Kong, Hong Kong. 35 posts.
#HongKong The building that annoys me the most here This year, in the very center of the city, on a square with the well-known HSBC and Bank of China, a new 36-story office tower called Henderson Tower has appeared. The building with its rather…
#Hong Kong is one of the last cities in the world where bamboo scaffolding is widely used. At the same time, even less wealthy Asian countries have long since switched to steel and aluminum rods. Suddenly, bamboo is not only cheaper to produce, but also…
Nighttime #HongKong
#HongKong Another unofficial attraction of the city is the Monster House, the largest apartment complex in Hong Kong, with a population of a whole town of 10,000 people. I already made a post about this building a year ago, but the photos turned out to be…
#HongKong Everyone should have a Chinese restaurant in their notes, where you go to eat delicious dumplings at a low price. There are many of them in Hong Kong, but it just so happens that this one is my favorite.
#HongKong The unofficial landmarks of Hong Kong - Chungking Mansions Right in the city center lies a complex of residential buildings, which by chance has become a catalyst for all the worst things imaginable in the city. Where would an illegal migrant from…
In the summer, #Hong Kong, just like the rest of Asia, is terrorized by the most despicable scoundrels, who manage to fly up (yes, they fly!) even to the 37th floor of a skyscraper.
#HongKong It was impossible not to go out and have a cup of tea on the balcony with a night view. One problem, I'm not the only one here...
#HongKong And here's our accommodation in Hong Kong. It cost us 100$ per person per night, which is quite cheap for this city, especially with such a view! I think it can be considered a typical home for the upper middle class. A couple of stops to the…
#HongKong A walk through the residential area of Kennedy Town in the west of the island. This is no longer the city center, but it's only a 15-minute subway ride away, so the price tag for living here is still higher than average. Otherwise, it's just an…
Ah, #HongKong. Every time you arrive, it's like it's your first time there.
#HongKong While we were eating at the airport, a two-story A380 airplane drove up to us. It's a shame we're not flying on one of these!
#HongKong Advertising in collaboration with popular anime.
#HongKong I didn't film the stairwell you have to climb to get to the third floor, but it definitely looks like the kind of place where you'd get fucking stabbed.
#HongKong This house on the corner is, unironically, our Airbnb rental (120$/day, $60 each). Give us a like - we'll do a room tour! Spoiler: On our first day, the refrigerator generator broke down and the wiring in the kitchen caught fire, leaving the whole…
#HongKong This is also Hong Kong. Just a couple of metro stations away from the supposed city center. It's hard to believe that this city-country has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world? For the most part, these are old districts, which exist both…
#HongKong Back in Hong Kong again. It's +30 degrees outside now, but it's not the same as Thailand - the humidity is much lower, and the breeze from the bay cools things down. This time, I want to look at the city without rose-tinted glasses, and notice its…
#HongKong My overall impression of the country and the city is rather positive. It's interesting to come here to hang out, enjoy the food and nature, and maybe even work here, but unfortunately, I don't see a long-term future for myself in Hong Kong. I came…
#HongKong A few archival photos that didn't make it into a separate post on the channel. Some of them are from my adventures on the mainland along huge residential complexes. A few were taken on the island (tram tracks leading to Victoria Peak and Hong Kong…
#HongKong #Review I made a spending table for Hong Kong. It took quite a bit of effort, as I don't keep track of my expenses and it's quite hard to track my cash (and cash is needed in Hong Kong, for example, to top up a metro ticket or pay in cheap…
#HongKong And a bit more content from the adjacent temple area.
#HongKong Temples in the north of Hong Kong
#HongKong A monster house. 18 floors, over 2,200 apartments, housing up to 10,000 people. A monolithic wall facing the street, an L-shaped structure on the other side, with two inner courtyards containing shops, laundries, and small eateries on the first…
#HongKong I took photos of the bay from the mainland during the day and in the evening. My night photography still needs improvement, but I think I managed to capture the overall atmosphere. The uncompressed versions will be in the comments for those who…
#HongKong Finally, good visibility, I climbed to Victoria Peak. In principle, it's not too difficult to walk there, as long as you don't mind getting completely sweaty due to the tropical climate. Of course, it's funny to look at all these skyscrapers from…
#HongKong Like, if you'd like to live in such a beautiful box😂
#HongKong The Chinese cursed the British, and they did it.
#HongKong The mountains disappearing into the fog against the backdrop of skyscrapers are particularly surreal. I wanted to hike to Victoria Peak, but I chose an abandoned road for it (the "closed" sign didn't bother me - I thought it was written for fools).…
#HongKong There's also a positive side - some of the British colonial architecture has been preserved. It looks surreal, but it helps to preserve the cultural heritage in the face of excessive urban development.
#HongKong A hodgepodge of urban landscapes. Panels, panels, panels... It just so happens that the weather is rainy right now, so it's particularly depressing. To top it off, the tropical climate is merciless - the humidity in the house ages things very…
#Hong Kong Three towers of evil - Bank of China, HSBC, Standard Chartered
#HongKong One of the city's most high-rise areas - Austin Station on the mainland side of the Victoria Harbour.
#HongKong Very beautiful lights on one of the streets in the old city center.

#HongKong I found old photos of Hong Kong from 2019, when we went there with our family. It was incredibly expensive, but at the same time, it was incredibly cool). If all the entry restrictions are lifted, maybe I'll go there for at least a week next year.
