I went to Hong Kong in May this year. As a Chinese, I think that HK is really different from the other cities in Mainland China. The beautiful view around Victoria Harbour at night left a deep impression on me, and there are so many tall buildings in Central, which made Hong Kong one of the most advanced cities in the world. And it is a humanistic city as well, maybe the sound of the traffic light is noisy and annoying for most people, but it is designed for those who have problems in their sight. I really love HK, and I also love your videos about China!

47:22 Last year, I visited HK for the first time. I fell in love with the city and its people. I was treated extremely well and felt very welcome. HongKongers seemed very nice and polite, friendly, accommodating, helpful, and hospitable, always ready to offer advice, tips, and recommendations. I have lived in South Korea for almost a decade and I happen to travel often to Japan. My experience in both countries has always been so great, I felt the bar was set very high. 🤭 I didn’t know what to expect of HK, but it knocked me off my feet. I am going back in two weeks and I hope this trip becomes an annual occurrence. I pray that things get better for HK and the outflow of residents drops. I cannot imagine HK without HongKongers. 💗 🙏🏻 🇭🇰

There’re so much more to see … museums, parks, theme parks, country parks, beaches, live seafood markets, … and plenty of world class hiking trials spreading all over HK Island, the New Territories and outlying islands. And there are a lot more delicious local food other than pineapple buns and HK style breakfast. 🤣🤣Anyway thanks so much for your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful and diversified city. All the best and safe travels ! ❤

I'm from Germany and I came to Hong Kong in 1989. I planned 2 years and I'm still here after 30+ years. I love Hong Kong 🇭🇰 ! Today I live in the countryside and I work in the city. It's a good balance! I got my motorcycle license here in Hong Kong and I love driving my bike here as I can get anywhere and park anywhere. Hong Kong truly is my home ❤ By the way, the 🍍 bun's are called like this because of the look and they are called "Bo Lou Bau" in Chinese. I love Hong Kong food and next time you are in Hong Kong 🇭🇰, try the "Cheung Fan" for breakfast and "Dim Sum" restaurant for Brunch. It's the best. And the country side of Hong Kong is amazing! Hong Kong people are friendly and hard-working people. I know because I'm married to one 😊❤

It is recommended to try to visit Chinese dim sum restaurants that have morning market specials from 8 to 11 a.m. or afternoon tea specials from 2 to 4 p.m. It is worth noting that you don’t necessarily need to go to Michelin in Hong Kong because Chinese restaurants usually serve barbecued pork and roast goose. It’s also good and worthy of mentioning Hong Kong’s famous authentic snack bowls, curry fish eggs and Western-style egg tarts.

There are actually quite a lot of hotels in Mong Kok or Causeway Bay that are cheap, spaced, and clean, but you just need to do a little bit more research for that.

Oh man, this video wasn't short, but it's already half an hour when i realized it, sth mesmerizing of the video maybe 😅. at first i was interested to see what a British would think about hk, and it's good to know that you feel like home. And then it was fun to see you guys' reaction about the most ordinary things here, the octopus, the most basic breakfast, the french toast, the milk tea, etc. Makes me look at these things in a new perspective maybe. And i appreciate you guys honesty as well, coz it is what it is. I also agree that it's not worth to waste an hour for that roasted goose, coz these type of food are generally not bad here in hk, and the price is much much cheaper.

Hk is pricey because the salaries after taxes in hk are higher than london and are comparable to NYC and the Bay Area.

This is not sure. I am Hong Kong and moved to USA. The median salary in Hong Kong is less than 3k per month. New York State (not nyc) is already 7k per month. Nyc is even higher. Hong Kong salary is much lower. I am working in it industry. With stock and bonus, I earned 500k last year. I don’t understand why most of people from Hong Kong think their salary is high.

@ read carefully. I was taking median salary too. This is 7000 per month as median in New York State. After tax this is still 4800. Hong Kong is round 3000 before tax. I am from Hong Kong. I know what I am talking

Welcome to Hong Kong! Omg, the one you booked is not a hotel at all, it's just a motel only. HK is very safe in general, but still be careful of your belongings. Wish you enjoy the trip here:)
