Relaxation in Hong Kong

Do you know that according to a recent survey, Hong Kong has the worst work-life balance in the Asia-Pacific region, like Hongkongers still have to take work-related calls or emails even on Holidays?

But let’s not talk about work today, life is about enjoyment! What should we do if we want to relax in Hong Kong?

How about embracing the nature? There are so many scenic trails and country parks in Hong Kong; you are bound to find at least one you love! Hiking, sightseeing, meeting wildlife animals (the non-dangerous one), picnicking...there are so many things you can do in the countryside.

What? You don’t like trees and grass?

That’s totally fine, we have even more things to do in the urban city.

Is museum your cup of tea? You have so many choices when it comes to museums in Hong Kong, like museums for astrology, science, trains, historical heritage, art, food, wax figure…Makes you wonder why Hong Kong is ridiculed as “cultural desert”, no?

Or maybe you prefer shopping? Then you really should go to Sheung Wan to buy some dried seafood and Chinese medicines; or visit Graham Street Market in Central to experience how people buy and sell, old school Hong Kong style.

Wet market is “dirty”? What about Mong Kok, where you can buy “expensive things” from modern shopping centers, and “cheap things” from small shops and street stalls.

And if you like amusement parks, why don’t you visit the Ocean Park or Hong Kong Disneyland?

…Though these two places get really crowded during holidays, so “relaxation” may not be what they can provide.

You still can’t relax?

Then stop thinking of going anywhere, just be a couch potato, drink some soda, eat some snacks and watch some TV.

Or join me, and be an internet potato.

Hong Kong has the highest internet speed in the world, remember?
