I was born in Hong Kong and lived there most of my life.
Hong Kong pollution levels are terrible. Make no mistake.
But are they really that much worse than many other large cities ? Does the differential between Hong Kong and say London make the former worth singling out to this extent ?
I don't think so. Hayfever, mild asthma, frequent bronchitis - never got any of this till after 4 yrs of living in London.
Surely this is more to do with "city" living vs. country living
p.s. I loved Hong Kong as a child.
If I were to go back now, it'd be Sai Kung for me !
