Photo quests in Hong Kong

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Hong Kong holds five quests, one in each of Art, Beach, History, Nature and Sport. The categories with nothing in Hong Kong so far are Food and Party.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Bird Garden. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other four are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers two of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. A beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

Hong Kong is a short list for now — five quests against the three a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Hong Kong again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Hong Kong quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Hong Kong the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country.

Questions

About quests in Hong Kong

How many photo quests are there in Hong Kong?
5, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. Nothing in Food and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Ten Thousand Buddhas, Bird Garden and Yick Cheong Building.
What is there to do in Hong Kong beyond the obvious?
One of the 5 quests in Hong Kong is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Hong Kong holds one at tier 1, two at tier 2 and two at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Bird Garden, in Nature.
Can you do all the Hong Kong quests on one trip?
Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 5 is 12 km from the middle of the Hong Kong list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each.
Which Hong Kong quests can you do for free?
4 of the 5 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 5 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Hong Kong means one quest: Bird Garden.
How do I prove I visited a place in Hong Kong?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Hong Kong is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Ten Thousand Buddhas fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you.
