Prominent Hongkongers tell us where they would go if Covid-19 suddenly disappeared on January 1
- These activists, athletes, entrepreneurs, musicians and industry professionals all share one thing – a desire to travel
- Countries near and far, from Thailand to Argentina, are calling out to them, with many of our respondents yearning for the great outdoors
What a year we’ve had!
With most Hongkongers having been confined to the city for the majority of 2020, high on many of our Christmas wish lists will surely be the freedom to roam the world again.
With that in mind, Post Magazine asked prominent Hongkongers with particularly itchy feet a simple question: “If Covid-19 suddenly disappeared and all national borders reopened on January 1, where would you visit first and what would you do?”
Here’s what they had to say:
Wong How Man, head of the China Exploration and Research Society
“January 1, sky opens. Wonderful. My right brain tells me, ‘Choose which of your project sites to head out to first: Tibet, Myanmar, Bhutan, Laos, Palawan, Ladakh. Any of those is wonderful and needs much attention.’ But my left brain argues, ‘Not yet, why be run by an invisible hand that dictates your anxiety and action. Stay in Hong Kong and attend to the projects you recently started in Lantau. Then take on the world leisurely at your own pace.’
