I've just learnt that @bbcchinese 's 8-min video about my practice, is recently adapted into this 2-min reels video with English subtitle on @bbcworldservice . (there are also Indonesian and Turkish versions) Happy to share with you all!

Hong Kong can be intense, but Sampson Wong helps tourists see a different side. His tours through this urban jungle reveal the city's hidden beauty and bizarre spots 🏙️



City of walks!

Public marches are no longer permitted in Hong Kong, the city of protest. But it is still a city of much walking. And Sampson Wong @HKurbanist has helped propel the rise of what he dubs "urban strollology." My nascent attempt to document some of my walks: instagram.com/city_of_walks/
