What to wear and pack
What he wears and carries in the video, what we travel with, and our picks for capturing the trip — chosen for Hong Kong's heat, humidity, sudden storms and 15,000-step days.
The trip kit
Columbia PFG Tamiami II, Fossil
Light, vented and quick-drying, worn open over a tee, with sleeves that roll up when the afternoon heats up.
32 Degrees Cool Crewneck, White
A plain white tee that dries fast and resists odour, so you can rinse it at night and wear it again.
Eddie Bauer Rainier Pants
They look like chinos but dry quickly and stretch, which helps on the Buddha's 268 steps.
Allbirds Tree Runner, White
Breathable, cushioned for long walking days, and machine-washable after a wet one.
Osprey Daylite, Black
Small enough for a tram bench or a ferry seat, with side pockets for your water and umbrella.
Samsonite Freeform Spinner, Navy
A hard shell on four wheels that rolls easily from the Airport Express to your hotel.
Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella
Hong Kong storms arrive fast. This one folds small, opens with one button and holds up in the wind.
Hydro Flask 21 oz, Black
Keeps water cold through a humid afternoon and fits the daypack's side pocket.
Always in the bag
Soundcore Space 2 Pro
The headphones we travel with. Noise cancelling for the long flight and loud train rides, about 30 hours of play with it on, and clear calls.
Anker Power Bank, 20,000 mAh, 87W
Enough for a phone and a camera through a long day, with a built-in USB-C cable, and under the airline limit. Power banks go in hand luggage, and some airlines ban using them on board.
Epicka 70W Universal Travel Adapter
One adapter for UK, US, EU and AU sockets — Hong Kong uses the UK-style plug — with three USB-C ports, so your phone, power bank and camera all charge overnight.
Capture the trip
Panasonic Lumix L10
A pocket-size camera with a bright Leica zoom that handles neon streets after dark and the view from the Peak, without a bag of lenses.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo
A tiny camera on a built-in stabiliser that keeps video smooth while you walk the Mid-Levels Escalator, ride the Star Ferry or film a night market.
DJI Osmo Action 6
Waterproof and tough, for rainy days, boat trips, beaches and sports — the camera you never have to protect from the weather.
K&F Concept 20L Camera Backpack
Holds a camera, lenses and a 15.6-inch laptop, with side access so the camera is out in seconds, and a rain cover for sudden storms.
ULANZI MT-44 Tripod
A light phone tripod that also works as a selfie stick, for steady night shots of the harbour or a timed photo at the Peak.
