📝 Notes

🌆 A City Best Experienced Briefly

Hong Kong is highly efficient, intense, and visually striking. It works exceptionally well for short visits, stopovers, or as a transit hub in East Asia.

🧭 Urban Nature Contrast

Despite its density, Hong Kong offers surprisingly accessible hiking trails and coastal views just minutes from the city center. These escapes provide balance — but space remains limited.

🧠 How Tourism Works Here

Hong Kong functions primarily as a global financial and transport hub. Tourism exists, but the city is optimized for efficiency and short stays.
