3. Walking through Hong Kong
Arriving in Central Hong Kong at night was simply mesmerizing. No amount of research, not even my foreign film expertise, could have prepared me for what walking through the streets of Asia’s World City would feel like.
Thankfully, we had checked the weather forecast ahead of our arrival and knew to safely put away our large hoodies and pullovers before taking on this futuristic juggernaut in its 30 degrees Celsius temperature and humidity. I have always made the point that exploring a city by foot is the best way to really take in its culture and identity, and I strongly believe that it should be done whenever possible.
That being said, Hong Kong does show some accessibility issues that make it very easy for an able-bodied young man like me to take his privilege for granted. Should you suffer from mobility issues or have specific accessibility requirements, Uber or special need services might be your best bet for navigating the city’s many upward and downward stairways. In contrast, Kowloon was much flatter and easier to walk through.
