You can drive for 1 minute in Hong Kong and cross a district. Your mind cannot comprehend this. (lemmy.world)

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.

    This is wrong. The screenshot you are showing is Wan Chai Residential District(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Chai), not Wan Chai Administrative District (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Chai_District).

    This is Wan Chai District (the red dotted 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

    You're right. I formally apologize.

    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.

    I would rather not edit most of the time to keep my mistakes a history.

    Also, are you perhaps coincidentally a TP person?
