Hong Kong City
Mad about milk tea
I would have to say milk tea. The city is known for its food, but I think our milk tea is really special. The way it is made is even listed as an item of intangible cultural heritage!
Be there in a jiff
One thing I’ve always admired about Hong Kong is the efficiency and convenience of our public transport system. It’s affordable, on time, and clean. It also helps to reduce the number of people driving cars in the city, which is better for the environment and improves the air quality. I love taking the MTR and it’s nice to see that they are constantly improving.
Safe and sound
I like that there aren’t as many natural disasters in Hong Kong as there are in other countries. We don’t tend to have earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or tsunami. Even if we have typhoons, our city doesn’t normally get seriously damaged. The climate in Hong Kong is mild. Although it is hot and humid in summer, the weather is not as extreme as other places. Even on our hottest day, the temperature will still be under 40 degrees Celsius, and it never really gets cold enough for snow in winter.
Yum Yum
I love the tradition of yum cha, which began back in the Tang dynasty (618–907). Today, people still love going to restaurants in big groups to eat dim sum. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a great way to spend time with your family or friends.
Night lights
My favourite thing about living in Hong Kong is the views. I especially love the nightscape from Victoria Harbour. I sometimes go there at night just to look at the line of twinkling buildings across the water.
