HONG KONG
A city where glass towers meet misty peaks, and neon streets blend with quiet temples. Hong Kong is energy, contrasts, and endless perspectives — a dream for any photographer.
destination
I visited Hong Kong in March 2025, when it was still drizzly and misty at night.
It was a short trip, just three days. Despite being sick and exhausted for two of those days, the city still managed to pull me in.
Hong Kong feels modern and bright, fast-moving yet easy to navigate. Huge shopping malls appear at every corner, tiny local restaurants serve unfamiliar dishes, and thousands of retro red taxis pass by in a constant flow.
The skyscrapers rise so close and so tall that they create a constant shadow, making you feel small in a strangely comforting way — like the city is larger than anything you bring to it.
Even in a brief visit, Hong Kong leaves you curious.
There is a rhythm here, a mix of order and chaos, that stays with you long after you leave.
