The last time I saw the Chinese city was when I stopped there in transit. I saw very little then, so thought, why not check out Hong Kong like a local, as we had only heard good things. I had a few days for myself in between professional commitments and Surilie agreed to tag along and that's how the beautiful city of Hong Kong was decided to be explored.
August is a rainy time in the territory, but the weather gods can be kind, just make sure you’re prepared for it all. I was! I had a raincoat, some good shoes that wouldn’t get ruined in the rain and faith that I wouldn’t get soaked. As my holiday was a short one, I had planned to do as much as I possibly could and soak it all in. We, my sister joined in on the Hong Kong fun because it was her first time seeing the country, headed to our hotel which was in the centre of the city. I learnt very early in my travels that the city might be noisy and crowded, but if you want to immerse yourself in it all, find a place bang in the centre. You’ll automatically see more of the place as your travel time is reduced drastically.
