We landed at HKG just before noon and bought a MTR transit pass, which gave us unlimited travel for 3 days and a return trip on the airport express to and from downtown ($300 HKD each). We took the MTR to Sheung Wan, just a few blocks from our hotel. The room was small but efficiently laid out, with lots of storage and a view looking towards Victoria Peak rising behind the city skyline.

We rode the MTR to Causeway Bay and had dim sum for lunch, before exploring Victoria Park. It was much cooler than we had been experiencing in Sri Lanka and an extra layer of clothing was necessary on top of out shorts & t-shirts.
We ate supper at a vegan restaurant close to our hotel and bar-hopped around the neighbourhood, but being a Tuesday evening, it all seemed fairly quiet for a city of more than 7 million people.
