Hong Kong Blogs?
Anyone know of HK blogs that cover food, shopping, and what to do for fun?
Thx. |
HK Blogs, at least in English, seem to be a bit passé these days. The best site I could think of for you is TimeOut.

Hong Kong Living maybe? very expat oriented
|
Other pages have statements like " Buses 6 and 66 (from Exchange Square) both go up to Parkview " which is simply not true. For getting to Lamma Island it says " There are separate ferry services from Aberdeen to both of the main villages on the island: Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan." with no mention of the (for most people) much more convenient routes from Central. For the hike over High Junk Peak it says " Continue along High Junk Peak trail – the path is easy to follow". Well yes, but the High Junk Peak Trail doesn't go over High Junk Peak as the text implies. I could go on. In other words, I would regard that site as misleading bordering on dangerous (in the hiking area). |
Not exactly blog sites, but you can get most of what you need from Tripadvisor, HongKongExtras and HK Geoexpats.

Doesn't the OP like the destination info here on FT? |

Sadly, that site is run by an out and out racist.

Personally, I like the video blog website YouTube. I don't have time to read through monetized/SEO'd word blogs.
|
That's a rather cynical view of blogs. As far as I am aware none of the ones I read generate any income. Certainly that was never my rationale for writing my blog back in the day. And yet people make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from their YouTube channels, so I really don't follow your logic.
Personally, I would always much rather read words than watch a video. |

None of the blogs I read has any ads (or at least, none that get past my ad-blocker), and if they are doing any SEO then it's too subtle for me to spot. Maybe I'm just showing my age, but I prefer reading words.
I have no idea who Mark Wiens and Sonny are. |
