Hongkongers forge ahead with Japan travel amid July 5 ‘megaquake' fears
Some Hongkongers have pressed ahead with trips to Japan on Saturday morning despite 'slight worries' about a widely discussed prediction that a mega-earthquake will hit the country today. While travellers told the Post they would pay more attention to the local news, they acknowledged being unprepared for potential earthquakes. 'I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but my son and his wife already got the tickets. It is summer vacation for my grandson, so we seized the chance,' said Ho Wan-chan, a 73-year-old travelling to Nagoya. The family was among the dozens of Hongkongers waiting to check in at the airport on Sunday morning. They snatched up round-trip tickets that included one piece of luggage for each person for about HK$1,000 (US$127), which they described as 'much cheaper' than usual. Bonnie Lei, a 40-year-old teacher heading to Tokyo, said she was 'slightly worried' about the earthquake because of the predictions.

Warship Shandong wows Hong Kong tour groups with fighter jets, military displays
The Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong has left many Hong Kong residents and visitors impressed with its contingent of fighter jets and overall military prowess, while tourism sector veterans have said they are looking at how to capitalise on 'future warship visits'. China's first domestically built aircraft carrier and other vessels in its strike group began accepting tours on Saturday morning while the ships were calling at the city. The tours offer the public the chance to explore designated areas of the ships, view fighter jets and helicopters, and observe training displays. The Shandong arrived in Hong Kong on Thursday morning for a five-day visit, accompanied by the destroyers Yanan and Zhanjiang and the frigate Yuncheng, while carrying a dozen advanced carrier fighters and military helicopters. The high demand to see the vessels saw the 10,000 tour group tickets snapped up within minutes of becoming available earlier this week. According to police, the first two or three ships taking tour groups to the Shandong had returned empty due to the trips not being subject to strict time limits.
