An unusual weekend getaway

#weekendgetaways I know a lot of people who won't consider Hong Kong when it comes to weekend getaways. I get it, the place is absurdly expensive. Getting a decent room without breaking the bank tends to be a hassle. Most of all it is just another city. Especially, if you are coming from Singapore and well versed with the possible scope of an urban holiday. However, what works for me besides the easy in and out. Not too long flights and that hong kong is not all that big, this suits a 2-3 night long weekend getaway. I feel the place has character, it's got a vibe and the people are fun. Not so much in the last decade or so with heavy numbers of mainland folks moving in and prices rising even more. But still there is something that Hong kong retains in its soul and spirit. While many would write it off as a lost cause or perhaps lost to the giant next door. I'm still hopeful and positive that the place has much to offer and will perhaps see better days in the future. #weekendgetaways #cityphoto_hongkong #cherryblossom2024 #urbanart #diverse
