Official numbers, which counted less than 100 arrival of non-residents per day, seem to confirm that the city completely fell out of travellers radar.
That said, I can confirm first-hand that it's indeed possible. Flying directly from Europe is a pain and I ended up doing a stop in BKK, but it's feasible.
Arrival procedure is long, needlessly convoluted and an obvious waste of time... but do you really care when you have a week of Q ahead of you anyway?
Happy to answer any questions for those who want to come back to the city. The process can be daunting, paperwork is overwhelming and there are a few "..." moments when you have to explain that no, you don't have a HKID card... but it's all worth it in the end. So good to be back after 2 years.
I'm very happy for you! I saw that HK is moving to a new leader shortly; I have no idea if he will make moves to open up more but I live in hope, I guess. Haven't been since fall 2019 and I would so dearly love to return.
