Hong Kong vibrates and this video is the proof
Two days were enough for Oliver Astrologo to fall in love with Hong Kong and create a video in which the usual street shops coexist with the temples of deep-rooted tradition with impressive skyscrapers, incessant traffic and the coming and going of the constant tingling of people in its streets.
“Hong Kong is the place where there is a brutal contrast between Asia and Western cultures. There you can see how that combination gives rise to a unique mixture”, explains Astrologo to Traveler.es.
The metropolis at your feet
“I like the atmosphere, it is one of the cities in Asia that I could imagine living in. There are some parts of the city where you feel like you are in the heart of China and at the same time you are taking the most modern metro in the world and you feel as if you were in the cleanest and most efficient city on the planet” , continues with his particular narration of the benefits of Hong Kong.
Among the essentials of Astrologo to discover the city, are the a visit to the Mong Kok neighborhood with its restaurants and markets; a ride on the Star Ferry and another on The Peak tram, with the city at your feet; discover the Tung Choi Street North, better known as the Goldfish Market; enjoy the night at Lan Kwai Fong ; and, if shopping is your thing, lose yourself in the parallel universe that is Causeway Bay.
