Hong Kong Imagery

Hong Kong Imagery Another trip that I took on a whim, to Hong Kong. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, I felt a sense of nostalgia, as if I had returned to the '80s or '90s, with its trams, vintage taxis, and crisscrossing buildings. It's very Hong Kong, just like in the movies. The camera's original color tone, no color grading, a simple snap gives off that Hong Kong vibe. Because the weather was too hot, I didn't go to many places to take photos, just took them casually. The cost of living in Hong Kong is much more expensive compared to the mainland, especially food and drinks. Other expenses don't differ too much, such as clothing, electronics, skincare products, etc., the difference isn't significant, and it might even be slightly cheaper. A casual meal per person costs around a hundred plus-minus. A simple bottle of mineral water costs 2 yuan in the mainland, 4 yuan in Hong Kong. Well, there's a large population, and it seems that the economic vitality should be quite good. A brief visit doesn't allow for an in-depth comparison, but compared to Macau, Hong Kong is obviously much more developed, and the subway transportation is also more convenient. You can use Alipay, WeChat, and other payment methods, but many stores still only accept cash in Hong Kong dollars. So, it's essential to ask clearly before eating to avoid a wasted trip. (Unfortunately, I had such a wasted trip myself) Overall, going out to play is quite nice. It's worth experiencing. Especially recommended is the Ferris wheel, 20 yuan for 3 rounds. When going out, it's best to check the weather in advance. This year, Guangdong has had a long spell of rain. Hong Kong and Macau are more or less the same. Good weather is necessary for good photos. On sunny days, be sure to do proper sun protection.
