My video from the northern outskirts of Hong Kong at the China border ➡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4TJp4iAqbJnha8
Hong Kong has more to offer than just the one big city. There are many outskirt areas, mountains, beaches and more to explore around the city of Hong Kong. Join me on a journey to the southern end of Hong Kong Island, to a small town called Stanley. Getting there was quite easy: I just took one bus and after 45 min I arrived in a place that was very different compared to the crowded and busy Hong Kong city. Stanley Hong Kong surprised me!

Ken, I watched every single video of your HK trip. I have to say you are a explorer, different angle to see HK from a tourist perspective. I was born there but I live in Canada now, your video makes me missing HK a lot. Hope you will revisit HK again in the future. Well done, a very good video indeed and enjoy travelling.

Will definitely visit again 🙏

Actually, there are many tourists, especially from Japan, coming to Hong Kong for hiking. They enjoy the countryside very much. The transportation is so convenient.

[@giannishen]

The facility where the dogs are temporarily parked is interesting, but it also feels a little cruel! That alley is actually not the main entrance, but it also gives that noodle shop an extra feature! There are many ways to make black vinegar. The easiest way to make it is to use low-salt soy sauce for secondary fermentation. Its benefits can not only reduce weight and reduce visceral fat, but also promote blood circulation and eliminate edema. Stanley's beach is really beautiful, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏

[@jessc9004]

Just want to comment the dog parking is a place for them to let dogs wait for them safely while people shop in the grocery store (since dogs aren't allowed inside) Some domestic helpers take the dogs for walks while going to shop for groceries. I guess the name "dog parking" can seem a little weird to some 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

[@giannishen]

​ @Jess C "dog parking" is the official name they use, so that's a bit cruel! In other countries, people don't go shopping and take their dogs out. It is illegal to leave dogs out of sight, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents if they are left alone outside!

[@samlee6938]

Most of the tour guides enjoy having a drink at the fish ball noodle shop (where u visited), while giving free time to tourists. So, u actually went to a right local one 👍🏼

[@ivannachoo]

HK in the summer is HOT and HUMID. You went at an ideal time! The weather in the springtime is much more mild.

[@TheVariousExplorer]

Hi Ken I looked at all your Hong Kong excursions and it occurred to me that I was in Hong Kong for a short time in 2008 and visited the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Hong Kong, the whole trip including the drive there was very nice and the view from up there is a unique experience ! I think that I will go there again with my wife to make a video for our channel because I didn't have much to do with photos and film at the time and that only developed with travelling best regards Frank

[@aminahforever4277]

Next time ask for XO chilli oil sauce for your bowl of noodles. That was a plum vinegar, ideal for fried noodles. You are right, on weekends, Stanley is very crowded. Thanks for visiting our beautiful Hong Kong. You should explore The New Territories and Lantau Island.

[@redrice2010]

Welcome to HK Ken, glad you have had a great time here so far, I would recommend trying out the " cha charn teng" which is actually local eateries which serve authentic local casual food like spam, egg with instant noodles and egg and corn beef sandwiches if you have not yet done so. Are u still in HK?

[@hueyy.9241]

Ken, I am really enjoyed how you bring audience to see the places that you were there in details. Good Jobs!! Btw, the dog parking is so funny! 😂

[@Fluster]

I have watched every single one of your Hong Kong videos and love it. You should try hiking! Hong Kong has so many nice hikes. If you want a hike competely seculded from the city and surrounded by mountains, try hiking in Sai Kung. If you want really nice views of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, Lion's Rock is a must-go, but it can be crowded. An alternative is Beacon Hill and is just west of Lion's Rock and has little no people and argubsly a better view because you can also see Sha Tin behind. Tai Tam and its reservoirs are also very nice, and is a very easy and gentle hike. Most of these places can be reached by a combination of MTR and bus. Any questions, please ask!

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks for the tips 🙏

[@duperIDN]

Thanks to share another awesome vlog from Hongkong. You have shown and describe all the needed spots to look/visit, in a very nice way. The dog parking point(s) is new to me, and interesting to know it does exist over there. Looking forward your next vlog(s).

[@wildorchidxxx2644]

Best if you put chili oil on the fish noodle soup . Vinegar or soy vinegar is best for dimsum or xiao long bao. Next time try the wonton noodles or beef wanton noodle soup.

[@JanVosecky]

Ken, I would highly recommend visiting Sai Kung, there are some amazing hiking trails there fully in nature and beautiful beaches, such as Tai Long Wan, where you can truly escape from civilization. There's not even public transportation going there, you need to take taxi and then hike to get here. Sai Kung town itself has an impressive choice of seafood restaurants. Enjoy HK!

It is a must for incoming visitors once u tour round in public transportation, in keeping Octopus card for travelling, buying, shopping, payment etc. U need to top up much money.

Dear Ken, Maybe it's time issue. You visited Stanley beach but you've missed the beautiful St. Stephen's Beach on the west side of Stanley. You can walk on foot to go over there within half hour & so, along the road you'll have the feel that you're in South Europe.

[@henrychung8479]

Hey! Loving your videos!!! Two things worth mentioning: 1) Regarding the vinegar: The theory is that because the noodles in your type of noodle soup are typically "alkali noodles" (鹼水麵), it tastes better when you balance the alkali with acid, hence the tradition of putting a small amount of vinegar in noodle dishes. 2) Being a former British colony, HK has had a long, long tradition of expat communities. As a tourist, one might tend to shy away from that in preference of "authentic" experiences, but keep in mind that the expat experience is very much part of HK culture, history and identity!

3:21 Stanley is a more prestigious residential area. There is also a higher portion of Europeans living here, so perhaps they like dogs more and thus the dog parking.

The Octopus card Is like the Touch n Go card in Malaysia. It can be used for just about any transport and to pay tolls and parking.

The Octopus card is not just used for transportation, actually it seems like another kind of debit card. You can use the card for shopping in so many supermarkets, convenient stores & even restaurants.
