I spent some time living in HK before the mess and loved it, despite not being a big city fan. The other day I crossed a family from there here in Europe and the dad told me they fled because of it. I’m kinda curious to go just to see the changes for myself.
If you do, I recommend visiting the more residential areas to get a feel of what old Hong Kong was like. Places like Sham Shui Po, Kennedy Town, West of Sai Wan Ho, northern parts of the New Territories. Everywhere else has been stripped and redeveloped to accommodate mostly to Chinese tourists as a last ditch to survive in the tourism industry.
Yeah I was in Tsim Sha Tsui which I assume feels very different now. I remember loving Sham Shui Po. My fondest memories are going out to the smaller islands on the weekend (can’t remember any of their names though) and that one time getting caught outside without my keys during a pretty nasty typhoon grabbing the last MTR before they closed it down back after getting the key and seeing all the signs swinging around.
