I asked people in Singapore if they want to visit Hong Kong now｜Free Air Ticket POV

Irene so long never see your new video . How are you .miss you so much

[@moonieek]

I got my free tickets, going to HK at end of October,this would be my second time going to HK. I would love the food but I don't particularly appreciate sharing tables oh well. I am planning to bring back plenty of 虾子麵back to SG。 Those sold in SG like the 寿桃 brand one sucks。

[@toyoyoyo104]

My first visit to HK 20 years ago was great. But I was taken aback by how rude some HK ppl have become in recent years in my last 2 visits in recent years. Sad but true. But my trips to Taiwan have always been great. Ppl there are super friendly.

[@ziq2188]

[@bababaghanoush]

Greetings from HK. I quite agree on the comments that accommodation in HK is too expensive a free tix doesn’t seem attractive. Regular tix from SG - HK is not very expensive anyway. Also the part for rude people: yes! Rude people and scammers are rather common even HKers are bothered by them. But I’d argue there are still many many polite and passionate people in HK willing to help or whatever. Maybe young people! It depends on who you choose to interact. Don’t be afraid to talk with local youngsters, I am sure the exp will be much better than dealing with rude uncles and aunties 😂 they may also give you travellers tips like cost of taxis or what scams to avoid. Maybe I am biased but there are indeed some bad influences from China even Hkers are not used to. A coin has two sides I m sure Singaporeans so smart you get it.

Not keen to go to HKG, no attraction points there. I reckon people will visit HKG if they have friends/family there otherwise I really can't see a need.

[@garchua69]

I brought my family to HK during 2018 Dec. It was before Covid and the big protest. The experience was on the extreme end, my family finds the younger generation were generally much more polite then the “boomer gen”. I’m almost a boomer gen and HK was a destination that the wife and I always wanted to go when we were young, maybe due to watching tv shows and movies. My son would love to visit HK again as a tourist but not my daughter and my spouse. The shopping experience was okay in most shops but can be better. I’d rather do repeated visits to Taiwan and Japan. Sometimes it’s not about the glitzy buildings and malls, to me it’s the experience and people.

[@ericphua2359]

Hk taxi drivers are very rude, not like Singapore where taxi drivers are generally friendly.

[@bababaghanoush]

Esp when the city side is quite similar to that of Singapore. There used to be many cultural stuff unique to Hong Hong but slowly fading away. Now the gov only focus on Disneyland or big buddha or other mediocre man made tourist attractions. But without the soft culture what do we have left could win over other places? Sigh 😔

[@dawnho7744]

The thing is that most of us in Singapore have been to Hong Kong and for some of us, quite a number of times. Rather than the attractions HK offers, it's more about the food. That's why we rather go to other countries where there are more sceneries to look at. The free air-tickets won't be enough to entice the locals to go there and like the ladies you've interviewed on the streets, accommodation is the main cost for the whole trip.

[@bababaghanoush]

Interesting. What food do people like? To me, Singapore is a food heaven for me too! Prawn mee, bak kut teh, laksa, Bangawan Solo, bee chun Hiang, and many more! The only thing I don’t like is it is really hot I cannot lah. I sweat like I got out from swimming pool.

[@dawnho7744]

Hi Irene~ I saw this news and was kinda surprised coz in my opinion Hong Kong is still a fun place to visit though I have never been to Hong Kong before. I have tried to work out travel plans to Hong Kong before COVID but every time when I do that, I compare the cost of plane tickets + accommodations to that of nearby countries e.g. Taiwan, Seoul, Thailand, I ended up visiting those other countries & gave up on Hong Kong because accommodations is really more expensive than those other countries.

Not surprised by the results. As Singapore is becoming more diversify, many Hong Kong eateries are being set up here in the past years.

Hmmm…. it’s not just the free ticket that matters. Time is limited and we just came out of the pandemic and that traveling restrictions have just been lifted not too long ago, so there are lots of choices. I guess it’s a question of what comes first given the limited time and resources and also partly becoz most Singaporeans have been to HK already and for some, even multiple times. So, to make the money worth every single cent, you probably need to compare and work out your budget before booking the trip.

First time seeing you narrating in English and I must say you have done a great job! I would love going to hk but there are other concerns like cost of accommodation and what are the current attractions there. Also, there are not many air tickets offered to sg and it was snapped up like less than an hour 😢

[@kaneaties]

Love to go even if tickets are not Free! But need to plan for as I have to take paid leaves.

[@pgobservers]

There have been some negative comments about the free airline tickets offer in Hong Kong, particularly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some people have expressed concerns about the safety of travel and the potential risks of spreading the virus, especially if large numbers of people take advantage of the free tickets. Others have criticized the government for prioritizing tourism over public health. Additionally, there have been concerns about the environmental impact of the initiative, with some people arguing that it will contribute to air pollution and carbon emissions. Finally, some people have questioned the long-term impact of the free airline tickets offer on Hong Kong's tourism industry, arguing that it may not be sustainable in the long run and could lead to a boom-and-bust cycle.

Thanks for watching!

No offense. Don't wish to get caught in any planned/surprise riots there again to be honest😅And If you speak mandarin in HK unless you're Taiwanese (I guess) all reactions are mostly hostile. HK's anti-chinese situations & it's turmoil had gone over those anti-chinese citizens' heads (they hurt nobody but themselves mostly impacted the city as whole)!! Their actions had caused the city's own demise.

Oh and if you are Mandarin speaking Singaporean, don't even speak Mandarin but English....

MY VIEWS: the reason why you as a Hong Hong Hokie are even working & living in Singapore shows Hong Kong is FINISHED, TOTALLY GONE, BYE BYE HONGKONG, you even chose to be with a SINGAPOREAN, but this is smart, in Hong Kong the people there are mostly rude, pollution is bad, food is expensive, oily and dirty, accommodation is small & not even suitable for dogs, the morning air when you take in a deep breath is full of sewage stinking smell, sure get lung cancer very fast, the attractions Hong Kong Disneyland????, you would rather go Tokyo Disneyland or even Shanghai Disneyland, how about Ocean Park, please give me a break, the place is rotting, seems like stuck in the 90s, even give me free ticket i also don't want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IrenereneHK]

I don't if it is still the case now? :-O

[@ericphua2359]

You speak English, HK taxi uncle will cuse at in Cantonese.

Been to H.K once just before 2000... I have to said its not a place I would want to go back again... at least not until I ran out of other places to visit... People then was rude... Everyone was rushing... The trains are packed... But the view from Victoria Peak at night is more beautiful than anything I've seen... But sadly, its not worth going back... Me and my family rather go Taipei, Taiwan...

[@IrenereneHK]

Yep some of my friends expressed they prefer TW comparing to HK

[@hloc]

@@IrenereneHK Mainly because as a holiday destination... both H.K and SG is too similar... small, tiny hotel room, packed, $$$$, rushing... make worst that nowadays so many H.K food also can be found in SG, no longer needed to go H.K for Cantonese food... except Roast Goose... LOL

I was all ready to go to Hong Kong...then the Hong Kong model Abby Choi murder case came along and i decided to give Hong Kong a miss....
