This is meaningless to me. How big is a district? I can walk one minute and cross a block in my neighborhood. Now what?

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

It is as meaningless as the posts about driving 43 hours in the same country. Hong Kong has 18 districts, and Wan Chai is one of the smallest ones. However, it's also one of the most concentrated commercial area.

This is wrong. The screenshot you are showing is Wan Chai Residential District(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Chai), not Wan Chai Administrative District (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Chai_District).

This is Wan Chai District (the red dotted area):

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Thanks for the correction. So it will instead take 2 minutes

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

hmmm, I would say 2 minutes is the minimum… mostly it will be around 3-5 minutes from what I feel

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

You're right. I formally apologize.

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Not really needs to apologise…. Just feel the estimate is a bit off.

Also why so serious? Everyone make mistakes

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Because if I don't, I'm gonna get spammed by internet people saying I'm wrong.

And I'm a New Territories person trying to estimate Hong Kong Island traffic.

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

You can edit your Lemmy post tho with a additional section like “Update:” or “Edit:”

Also I am also live in NT rn; but yeah, I used to live in HK

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I would rather not edit most of the time to keep my mistakes a history.

Also, are you perhaps coincidentally a TP person?

[-] callmepk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Ah, also a great place too

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

At one point, you could've sat still in Hong Kong and moved from one country to another

[-] Lladra@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I can drive for a minute and be in a new neighborhood.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

My brain cannot comprehend this.

[-] shit_of_ass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

I can drive for a minute and still be on my driveway

You go to The PLACE, huh? I personally stick to That Destination, not to be confused with The PLACE or That Quad.

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

You just reminded me of how many confusing English names there are in Hong Kong

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Sure love this new circle jerk format, never gets old

[-] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Is that image real? Double decker tram? I want to go to there

[-] maxso216@ani.social 3 points 8 months ago
[-] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 months ago

I want to go to hong kong just to go to the PLACE.

[-] ReallyKinda@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Me too, eyelash extensions that rival the city’s stadium in importance.

[-] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

Haha, but squares icons are ads

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

With a train you can go from the northernmost part to the southernmost part of Hong Kong within an hour.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Where I live I can't even get to the city within an hour.

[-] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

bro no joke; i can get to my bf's place in ap lei chau from shatin in an hour. the mtr is nuts.

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That's what we get for being the region with the most efficient public transport

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I'd like to know exactly when you could get through driving through Wan Chai in a minute. Hell the ding ding would take a few minutes getting through it.

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Living in Europe this should theoretically be possible in my city as well, but the traffic probably wouldn't make it possible.
