Hong Kong is in the midst of serious civil unrest that has spilled into major commercial districts of the semiautonomous city. This may be the worst political crisis facing the former British territory since it was returned to Chinese control in 1997.

Travelers to Hong Kong should take extra precautions, plan for serious transit delays and avoid areas of conflict — particularly Admiralty, home of the Legislative Council Complex and Chinese People’s Liberation Army Forces Hong Kong Building, and other parts of the Central and Wan Chai commercial districts.

“Nevertheless, most of the city remains perfectly safe”, says Danny Lee, reporter for the Hong kong-based South China Morning Post.

“Despite what is going on and seen on TV, the majority of Hong Kong continues as normal,” he said in an email. “The rest of Hong Kong goes on as normal, but with roads closed sporadically, it’s best to stick to the metro. … No one knows how long the protests will last, to what size or intensity. Daily life will go on in Hong Kong regardless.”
