Guys, if you really have 48 hours in Hong Kong, this is great guide to follow! A good balance between famous tourist spots and off-the-grid spots! Thanks for coming, Phoebe! - From a Hong Kong citizen

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you SO much!! That means the world :)

[@Bluboy30]

Hong Kong is still on my bucket list. I hope to travel there this year or next!

[@travelforphoebe]

I think you’ll love it! It’s so beautiful

[@Buttercup_ZA]

The camera just loves you. You always look good

[@travelforphoebe]

You’re so kind, thank you 🙏🏼

[@HongKongSeeEatShop]

Good video Phoebe. Just a couple of things Kowloon is a peninsula, not an island. The first egg tart you tried is a Portuguese egg tart (pastel de nata). The second one you tried was the Hong Kong egg tart (daan tat).

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching!

[@sui-fanwong6878]

Thank you for the distinction. I found it very helpful. I have not tried a Portuguese egg tart. I think I would like to.

[@northenpeace1111]

By the way, Hong Kong has over 200 islands and I highly recommend going to the Peak at night, to see the gems of Hong Kong light up.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching!

[@miriamluskberry]

That is so true! Over 300 islands I believe and I've only visited a few.

[@germananditravels]

Great video! I really look forward to seeing the city later this year 😎

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelsMusicMix]

Brought back great memories of our week there in 2017. We stayed in the heart of Mongkok and ate our way around. We found the bird market a bit odd as a tourist desto. Elderly men with their caged pet birds gathering for a chat and a smoke while hanging the birds on hooks. We felt quite intrusive so didn't stay more than a few minutes, The flower market though was amaaazing. Thanks as always for capturing the places you visit so wonderfully

[@travelforphoebe]

I’m sooo glad this brought back memories! A week is a great length of time to spend there. Sounds like you did it right ☺️

[@AmarP100]

Hey luv i lived in HK for 10 years this video brings back great memories i miss it 😍lookin fab too

[@liftoffandtravel]

Particularly enjoyed your song during the boat cruise. The wind was pretty funny. You also visited some lovely places. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@olivialazaro1729]

Hey Phoebe My sister actually lives in Hong Kong so we visit quite often, it is such a nice place

[@robinsee_ing]

Thanks for the 1st great impression and inspiration! I booked my 1st solo trip to H.K. momentarily ago, you popped out as my 1st research video. I feel confident already. Gonna be there 3rd - 10th July. This is a great guide vlog. Love from Singapore! 😊

[@brandrunway]

Thanks, Nice introduction to HK. BTW great audio. Completely cut out the wind on the sky deck. What's gear do you use?

[@amozamustafa]

Thank you so much for your vlog, loved it! Traveling to Hongkong in May so excited 😃🥰😍

[@machaimiloais]

How was your trip ?

[@amozamustafa]

@@machaimiloais It was amazing. Tried the Waffle and the Egg tart in the video, loved it! Unfortunately I was during the worst rainy season there but I love the rain season in Asia. The one thing I missed was the Peak, I could not see anything when I went with the tram because of the weather. But Hongkong as we all know has a lot of food to offer and I explored all the local restaurantsand included a Macao trip with the Ferry which I can really recommend!

[@louisemcclennon6718]

My god your chaotic eating certainly had me in stitches. I can relate! Sometimes I've been in so much "chaos" it's like a toddler trying to eat in a wind tunnel.... 😂 also feel the hair drama... long hair problems 😅

[@travelforphoebe]

😂🙏🏼 so relieved you enjoyed the chaos

[@alfong8279]

Love your upbeat, cheerful and high quality background music, on top of your excellent editing.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you SO much :)

[@miriamluskberry]

So fun to watch! I grew up there in the 1960s. Have been able to go back for a visit several times, but the last trip 2019 made me feel a bit sad at so many iconic places have vanished.

[@youngcrippen]

I love a market! Hong Kong looks fascinating. I loved the "chaotic" stuff too - it made for a great watch. Brilliant again!

[@travelforphoebe]

Hahaha I’m relieved you enjoyed the chaos! That wind was a LOT to contend with 😂 I love a market too 🙏🏼

[@angelwong7220]

You should try egg tarts in Hong Kong-style cafes or local bakery stores instead of the Bakehouse.

[@travelforphoebe]

Next time I'm in Hong Kong, I will try that 🙏☺️

[@oriondragos5876]

Hong Kong gets slept on when it comes to travel destinations. It’s such a vibrant city with so much to see, do, and eat!

[@sui-fanwong6878]

". . . hammering down food in a wind tunnel." - that was my favorite bit. (You had me belly laughinging.) I love your candor and authenticity. I also appreciate your audio game. Your audio editing and transitions are on-point. Thank you for this video.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha glad you enjoyed that part :)

[@FelixCattenstart]

Hiya! The views up there are beautiful and I love the way your hair floats on the wind. Hong Kong seems to be a real busy city, how did you experience it? Didn't you feel a little overloaded? The scenery is gorgeous, some Asian countries (Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan) are making the most of every wall in terms of art. Cruise with lunch is the best. The birds and flowers look so peaceful. That eggplant looks so amazing. Thanks for sharing your Hong Kong guide, see you in Bohol 🤙

[@deyanadyankova4333]

Great one! Thank you! Makes me want to go back to HK 😊 funny but I did stay in the same hotel few years ago and it looked the same 😄 I would add - bedsheets felt really damp. Best wishes from The Netherlands and happy travels!

That’s so funny you stayed there too!!!

Hi Phoebe, you stopped by one of my favorite cities in Asia. I’ve been to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 9 times! 😂. I love it there. The food, sites and people are amazing. I’m also a big fan of HK cinema. I was last there in 2017. Anyway, I enjoyed your 48 hour excursion and saw a lot of familiar places. Even though it was super windy, you still looked great. You are one of the most photogenic KZbin influencers I’ve ever watched 😍. Have a great week and looking forward to the next one.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you sooo much for the love on this video. Hong Kong is such a beautiful city to film - I found it so inspiring! Glad to hear how much you love it too. Totally agree it’s one of the best cities in Asia!

[@angelwong7220]

Thanks for your coming

[@thetravelfriends]

Great video! Its surprising you never tried Egg Tarts in Singapore or any Chinatown Bakeries. They are pretty famous mini-custard pies, and are also sold as desserts at Dim Sum restaurants.

[@MlleWanderlust]

Hello. Thank you for sharing your travels. I have just found your channel. I love it when I find an Aussie traveller. It is really good to have things shared in Australian dollars etc.

[@turkishdelight6032]

3:35 I also don't like "eggy" desserts, so that's why I enjoy egg tarts from Macau the most. They are caramelized on top, which provides a nice bitterness to counteract the egginess. I also like the use of puff pastry

[@travelforphoebe]

Yesssss!! So glad you can relate!!

[@G_monE369]

I can’t eat eggs

[@SA-cloud]

I haven't been to HK in a while...now I'm imaging taking the Star Ferry to that Bakehouse cafe 😍 As for that windy ferry dim sum Mukbang, I think you may have created a genre 😄

[@RMFW469]

First time encountering your channel. Great video!!! I'll now embark on a mini binge, with the expectation informative, entertaining content. If it lacks some manner of tragedy, such as hurricane force winds, octopus hair, or something in that realm, I will deduct points. I definitely appreciate that fact that you avoided the usual tourist magnets. Thank you!!

Word of warning about the street hawkers at Mong Kok. Food is a bit hit and miss and can be unsanitary. Oh, and thanks for taking one for the team with the egg tarts! First one looked delish!

[@proudasiangirl576]

For someone like myself who is disabled and needs a mobility scooter to get around, it can be challenging to get to places. 1:10, instead of stairs, is there a ramp to use to take the Star ferry? Also, how would one get through the turn style gates (1:48) to enter the ferry? 6:46, is there an elevator vs. escalator to use at the Peak Tram? 16:10, is there an elevator to go down on the MTR?

[@travelforphoebe]

I wish I could answer this for you but the truth is I was so focused on filming, I wasn’t thinking of the location from an accessibility standpoint. I’m wondering if there may be creators who specialise in this type of insight! If not, sounds like there could be a gap there for someone to fill 🥰

[@proudasiangirl576]

@@travelforphoebe OK, I understand. If you ever go back to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan or Singapore, will you please be mindful of this? Just whenever you are shooting, can you please also put into your camera frame a ramp if you happen to see one when walking to stairways? Thank you!

Welp…this is all *your* fault! After watching your video, I am now typing from our favorite dim sum restaurant here in Orlando as we wait for our order. Happily, it’s less windy here 😂, so I don’t fear my fried rice will blow all over our neighbor! I’m so glad you left all that in. It’s so genuine and we don’t think we’ve laughed that much with you. 😂😂 Thanks also for the honest review of the hotel. I like how you addressed it: here’s the good and here’s the not good. Your honesty is why we trust you. Same goes for the egg custard. Glad you tried them (first one looked SO much better) and explained why you didn’t like the second one. Erin commented that your music selections, which are always good, were especially good on this video. As always, big fan of your b-roll shots overlayed with your info filled commentary. It’s what sets you apart. Phoebe-you’ve come so far. You’re no longer nervous while vlogging in crowds. It’s now natural and makes us feel like we’re talking with a friend. Glad to hear you’ve noticed too. You’re right: you are now a more experienced and savvy traveler and that comes through in your videos as well! Thanks for taking us along with you to Hong Kong. It’s a place we’d like to visit and now we have an idea of what to expect. Hope to hit HK Disneyland one day. Looking forward to next week’s adventures! Safe travels and see you again soon. Rob&Erin PS: I love egg waffles. Your guess was right, they are named so because of the shape. And you’re also right that they can be a bit dry. Need a sauce or ice cream sometimes. We spent a bit of time drooling on the menu (we paused that frame). The hazelnut “sandwiches” looked amazing. 🤤
