About

Unlike many of the other destinations I explored as a student, Hong Kong has been my first home away from home. Having worked nearly two years in the city, I've had more than enough time to explore the city and its surroundings. One of the best parts about Hong Kong is that its hidden attractions are often just a short ride away, and hence anyone looking to explore some of the city's best kept secrets can do so with ease. In this space, you can discover some of those secrets, and incorporate them into your own itinerary.
