I'm sorry you ran into smog in HK and have formed a slightly negative opinion. I go there about twice a year and find the visibility varies with the seasons. Many times I've been rewarded with the clearest of skies and far-reaching views.

I think HK is much cleaner of late and I also note with pleasure that the harbour is very much cleaner than it used to be. The foam churned up in wakes is white these days! Also there is very little litter in the streets and the HK authorities are working hard to educate locals about the dangers associated with standing water being breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes.

My suggestion is that you go again in a different season; views from The Peak can be breath-taking.
