    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.

          Thanks for the correction. So it will instead take 2 minutes

            hmmm, I would say 2 minutes is the minimum… mostly it will be around 3-5 minutes from what I feel

                Not really needs to apologise…. Just feel the estimate is a bit off.

                Also why so serious? Everyone make mistakes

                  Because if I don’t, I’m gonna get spammed by internet people saying I’m wrong.

                  And I’m a New Territories person trying to estimate Hong Kong Island traffic.

    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

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

          That’s what we get for being the region with the most efficient public transport

    I’d like to know exactly when you could get through driving through Wan Chai in a minute. Hell the ding ding would take a few minutes getting through it.

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