Today, I'll start walking along the coast of Hong Kong Island, and see how far I'll get! :D

Starting in Western District, which is bustling and densely-populated.

This is 青洲 – Green Island!

The trees are working really hard at reclaiming the city here!

More of these trees that we saw in the last days! It's the Chinese banyan aka "curtain fig". And it seems that it's sometimes actively used to stabilize slopes!

Made it around Mount Davis, and reached Waterfall Bay!

This part of the coast consists of a couple of connected public parks, which feel nice to walk in.

Oh hello! It seems that instead of discarding your deity figure, you can bring them here, and a member of the local community will take care if them!

Other places I've been to: "Oh yeah, the city has a *downtown* area, and there you can find a couple of higher buildings."

Hong Kong: *casually sprinkles 40-storey skyscrapes all over the place*

@blinry I mean, #Hongkong has been kinda shafted by geography.

  • It's a shame it didn't get released into independence...

@kkarhan @blinry

That happened because Thatcher didn't understand the difference between the New Territories, hich were leased, and the Island and Koloon, which were ours in perpetuity.

@Walrus @blinry and because she refused to seperate them nor support #Hongkong|ers' Right to Self-Determination …
