We all know driving can be stressful. One minute you’re minding your own business and the next someone cuts you up. Something like that can be annoying, but for some of us, it can make us fly into a rage (勃然大怒). 【小题1】

Road rage, simply put, is a sudden burst of anger that drivers experience when they feel angered by something another driver, cyclist or walker has done. 【小题2】 The drivers themselves may feel anxiety and stress, which can cause them to speed on the road. Experts warn that experiencing these moments, especially repeatedly, could be harmful to our health due to the number of stress hormones entering our bodies.

【小题3】 Being tailgated (紧随), undertaken (强行超车) on a busy expressway, seeing someone speeding across several lanes, chatting on their phone, or using the middle lane in front of us are just some of the things that may stress us. And what about parking? 【小题4】

So what can we do to keep relaxed? Try driving in a good mood, and if you see a traffic jam, just remember that they can’t be avoided. 【小题5】 Also, if you see someone who is really angry, try not to maintain eye contact, and don’t get out of the car to face them. And if you feel stressed and anxious, try pulling over somewhere and resting while you calm down.

Hong Kong has recently witnessed the return of live concerts and large-scale events, attracting visitors from around the world. Are you also planning a trip? It’s time to dig out your Octopus card for convenient payment of transport fares and much more.

No Octopus card, no problem! The options for transport payment in Hong Kong have become more diverse and convenient in recent years. People can now pay for public transport using WeChat Pay, Alipay, bank cards or credit cards. And the Octopus card, which has a wide variety of uses, can now be put into the electronic m‍obile wallet and can be used even if your phone is out of battery.

Are you figuring out the best way to get to the city center from the airport? The Airport Express takes only 24 minutes to travel from the airport to downtown. If you want to get off the plane and go straight to Central district, the fast and comfortable Airport Express is the best choice.

The Airport Express platform is connected with the airport’s arrival hall and has multiple entrances. It takes as little as a minute for passengers to enter the platform from the arrival hall. The trains provide large luggage storage areas, as well as high-speed Wi-Fi and charging facility. More importantly, the Airport Express connects you with other MTR lines. Whether for business travel or sightseeing, the Airport Express can save you a lot of time.

In addition to the MTR and buses, Hong Kong’s public transportation system also includes the historic Star Ferry, Hong Kong Tramways and the Peak Tram. They have been around for many years, but their functionality and overall experience are as good as that of the new transport modes. In fact, they enhance the experience of tourists and are also popular with locals going to work, shopping or out on a date. To improve passengers’ experience, the Peak Tram has recently undergone a major renovation.

It’s been a while and now it’s time to say “Hello Hong Kong” again!
