Woman in bikini on central Hong Kong road crossing gets pulses racing on buses
A social media user posted a photo on Friday, showing a woman in a white bikini sunbathing on a beach lounger on a road crossing on Pedder Street in Central, with photographers taking pictures of her.
The scene took many people by surprise, including passengers on board a KMB bus, which had stopped in front of the zebra crossing when the traffic lights turned red.
Some pictures circulating online appear to have been taken from the upper deck of a KMB bus.
Threads user 'Convoy_wolf' said he came across the scene when taking the bus to Central on Friday and uploaded the two pictures at around 7am.
'I was woken up by an uncle who jumped up and took a lot of pictures of the woman in a bikini,' the user wrote.

AirAsia blames bad weather after flight lands at wrong South Korean airport
The AirAsia flight that caused passenger confusion by making an unexpected landing at South Korea's Gimpo International Airport instead of its original destination of Incheon International Airport on Wednesday evening made a safety-based 'planned diversion' due to adverse weather, according to the airline. Flight D7 506, which departed Kuala Lumpur International Airport earlier that day, had been scheduled to land at Incheon airport. However, after circling over Korean airspace due to bad weather, the flight instead touched down at Gimpo at 8.08pm, about 20km (12 miles) away from Incheon, causing confusion and inconvenience. Videos taken on board showed a crew announcement stating the aircraft was short on fuel, describing the landing at Gimpo as an emergency measure while the captain assessed the possibility of flying to Incheon. However, several passengers later told local media that the crew failed to manage the confusion effectively during the two-hour delay, citing the lack of a clear announcement or apology in Korean about the landing. Even the cabin crew appeared 'as confused as the passengers'. After remaining on the ground for about two hours, the aircraft departed Gimpo at 10.03pm and landed at Incheon at 10.54pm. The Korea Airports Corporation confirmed that strong winds and heavy rain in Incheon's airspace caused air traffic delays, prompting the captain to divert for refuelling. In a statement released on Thursday, AirAsia confirmed the diversion was a safety-based decision due to adverse weather and air traffic congestion at Incheon.
