From 1843 to 1997, it was a British colony. In 1997, sovereignty was transferred to the People's Republic of China. Since then, Hong Kong has been a Chinese special administrative region maintaining a free market economy, free expression, and promised internal autonomy. However, since 2014, China has increasingly broken its autonomy promises and restricted the freedoms of the Hong Kong population. This has led to repeated large demonstrations by the people. In 2025, the last Beijing-critical party in Hong Kong was dissolved.</p><figure> <img src='https://img1.vakantio.de/uploads/dcf778979411a2b20599bb8017968123_small.jpg' /> <figcaption>Hong Kong Airport</figcaption></figure><p style='color:rgb(0, 0, 0)'>The journey from the airport with the Airport Express for approximately €8 per person was super easy and quick. The Octopus payment card for public transport, the counterpart to Suica in Japan, is also recommended.

Goodbye Japan - Welcome to Hong Kong or in German: Tschüss Japan - Welcome Hong Kong

Today is travel day. Gradually approaching home. Flying towards more pleasant temperatures. However, we must wait another 3 days for that, as today we are headed to Hong Kong, where it’s just as warm as in Japan, only with a bit more humidity. And we should be lucky - it’s expected to rain 85% of the time.

Gdesk (thoughts that come to mind)

While having breakfast and looking out from the 14th floor, I noticed again (I also noticed this in Osaka) that a lot of people ride bicycles here. There are even bike paths here, compared to Osaka - but no one uses them. It also seems that the Japanese have not yet figured out how to adjust the saddle height since everyone here rides with their knees near their ears. Schahaatz did some research:
