4. Don’t Be Squeamish
Hong Kong has been nicknamed the “Fragrant Harbour,” and it can be a sensory overload for visitors not used to its many pungent aromas, cacophonous noises and unfamiliar flavors. Some of the sights, smells, sounds and tastes can be off-putting if you don’t have the right attitude. Resist the instinct to cry “yuk” at the sight of chicken feet or the smell of durian. Embrace the chaos, indulge in new experiences, brave some street food and tolerate the assault on your familiar sensibilities. That’s part of the adventure of traveling to an exotic destination like HK.
