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

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

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

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

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

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

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):
