"Hong Kong circa 2016 was an absolutely wild time. You could relax on a beach, go hiking on another tropical island, party at nightclubs in LKF, take a gondola up to Victoria Peak, and meet with business associates for a Michelin star dinner in a single day.
And you could spend the next day at night markets, eating amazing food at a sleepy seaside village and chilling in bookstores or exploring the under city by the subway stations. The entire city was easy to travel on the best subway system the world has ever seen.
I know Tokyo is gonna be at the top. As it should be. But what people in this thread don’t realize is that Hong Kong in the mid 2010’s had everything Tokyo had plus tropical beaches and incredible hiking/outdoor activities. With even better mass transit (as crazy as that sounds).
It really was the world’s first S Tier city in my honest opinion."
I was afraid that Berlin would also be mentioned here but be warned. It is nothing more than a big shithole. Great in the 80s and 90s but now a failed City. BTW I was born and grown up in Berlin. I left the city forever for good reasons.
Well, no. Berlin is still a great city. It's not the party and creativity hotspot it used to be, thanks to politicians and real estate companies fighting this kind of culture, but it's still great
