The Corona Diaries - Jane | Hong Kong Tour Guide
It’s time once again for another Corona Diary story straight from one of our Hello Hong Kong Tour guides. Today, we will feature one of our female tour guides who is originally from the UK. She first came to Hong Kong in 1997, fell in love with the city and lived here ever since. She is non-other than our tour guide Jane. Jane is one of our very passionate guides who loves showing all the beautiful places in the city. Her warm and friendly vibe will definitely make any tour fun and something to remember.
Jane loves to travel like everyone else. In fact, she just had her recent trip to Argentina. She came back here in Hong Kong just in time before the lockdowns and quarantines are imposed. Being a responsible Hong Kong citizen, she did her own 14-day quarantine at home. Now that she is back and the city is strictly observing social distancing, What keeps her busy in the midst of this crisis?
Hello Hong Kong Tour guide Jane, having fun on her Lantau hike in Hong Kong.
On a normal day, you are usually out on the streets showing our guests the beauty of Hong Kong. Given the travel restrictions imposed by several countries. How are you spending your time now?
I have been going on some lovely hikes exploring new places and keeping my distance from others. I've also been cooking lots of lovely home-made food to keep me healthy
We know that you also suffer from wanderlust. When this Pandemic is finally over, and you can go anywhere where will your wanderlust take you and why?
I was very lucky to have an amazing holiday to Argentina this year, I love exploring new places and it was a great adventure - even though a very very long way from Hong Kong
After the world comes out of this dark time and that everyone can travel to Hong Kong again what is the first thing or place you are most excited about showing our guests and why?
The Star Ferry is one of my favourite things to do in Hong Kong, it's such a lovely way to cross the harbour with amazing views and feels like you are going back to the old days with the staff still wearing traditional uniforms
What is the one thing that you this very unfortunate event has taught you?
I think after the world returns to "normal" people will value their lives better, their families and friends and in general being thankful for the little things
