Can't Go To Hong Kong? Have Virtual Reality Trip Then

Can't go to Hong Kong? Be there virtually! Brought to you by USA TODAY NETWORK and YouTube, you can spin videos up to 360 degrees with VRtually There. Every week, the team gets you to experience adventures with three virtual happenings.

This time, the team gets you to tour the country even if you're in your jammies. "Hong Kong is an amusement park of a city, full of wonders both natural and manmade," VRtually There offered. "The world's largest fleet of double-decker trams offers a front-row seat to one of the world's most vibrant cities," they stated in a YouTube video.

For a couple of minutes, the video takes you a ride along Wan Chai in the tram. Drag your cursor to view other passengers with you! VRtually There lets you have a boat ride around Victoria Harbour.

Your next stop would be Lantau Island, where you get to be with other tourists visiting one of the world's largest Buddha monuments that seat over the mountains. Take a ride of their glass gondolas as well and see what's below you. More trees.

VRtually There launched in October this year with their first show in the Arizona desert. Technically you get to experience walking on a rope thousands of feet above the ground. Their second VR episode streaked you out of your sporty and daredevil side by walking on a plane's wing and goes skateboarding with pros.

According to USA Today, new episodes will be published on Thursdays at 2 PM Eastern Time, with three segments that last about five minutes. Joanne Lipman, USA TODAY NETWORK's chief content officer, said, "Our in-house VR content production is unique to the industry, allows us to showcase our great journalism across the NETWORK and allows us to expose our vast audience to this innovative storytelling."
