Typhoon Talim's strength fails to meet tourists' "expectations"

Many people continued their activities despite the No.8 typhoon signal hoisted, with some saying that the wind wasn't as strong as they expected.

Some tourists from the Futian District visited Tsim Sha Tsui as planned but later found that most of the stores were closed.

Their moods were not affected as they opted to watch the waves, though they were disappointed by the lack of wind strength.

A sightseer from Chongqing, surnamed Li, stated that his original plan was to visit Lamma Island with his wife but canceled due to the typhoon.

They were glad to "feel the typhoon," though it might be weaker than expected, as they lived far from the sea and were rarely affected by typhoons.

Some people had to head to work despite the No.8 typhoon signal. A staff member at a hotel near Harbour City said the boss told her to come to work at their discretion, and she chose to go to work as the wind wasn't too strong.
