5 days in Hong Kong!

Ive had Hong Kong in my mind for sometime, but just my list of places I wanna see is so long and I was waiting for the right time. The time has come!!!

My trip to Hong Kong was 4 nights, 5 days. In this trip, I invited with me my friend and a fellow instagrammer Salem Al Hajri @BeingSalem.

Here’s in a nutshell what I thought of this trip: I really enjoyed it! Hong Kong is a place I would visit again to explore more and see more. 5 days was not enough to see all of Hong Kong but I managed to hit some of the highlighted spots.

Keep in mind; my interest could be different than yours! I was stunned by the old buildings and the concrete jungle. So if you’re the type of person who enjoys old and new in a busy city, then Hong Kong is a place you’d wanna explore!

Quick Helpful Info about Hong Kong:

Hong Kong means “fragrant harbour” in Chinese. 

Hong Kong is famous for towering skyscrapers. Did you know 40 percent of the territory is made up of country park and nature reserves? I unfortunately did not get the chance to experience the nature part.. but I hear its where everyone goes for the weekend and that they have great hiking trails!
