Hong Kong in $870s-$1030s RT

Sure, you know alllllll about Hong Kong’s skyline — that glittering, cinematic sweep straight out of Blade Runner. Yeah, it’s iconic. But this time, we’re talking about what happens beyond the city lights.

Hop on a short flight north, and (almost faster than you can finish your airplane pretzels) you could be standing on the Great Wall of China.

I was standing in that very spot less than a week ago, and honestly? It blew my mind. We trekked for 3 days along the Wall — climbing steep stone steps, watching the sunrise melt through the morning fog, and ending each day in a tiny local guesthouse. One night, we even camped along the Wall itself. Stars overhead, ancient stones beneath our sleeping bags — it felt like time travel.

Sure, Hong Kong sparkles. But adventure? That’s just one short flight (and a few thousand steps) away.
