Really well done info video. This also made me supremely nostalgic about HK since it’s the first country me and my family decided to visit 10 years ago this 2024. Our trip was only less than five days since we booked a budget tour package but it was nothing short of magical for all of us first time travellers back then. ☺️

[@KatrinaC400]

Finally someone suggested Tung Chung Area 💜💜💜💜💜

[@IScreamer]

Excellent presentation! I’ve stayed in all the areas you mentioned. My favourites are Tung Chung and Causeway Bay. As for Tung Chung, it’s only 30 min on the Tung Chung line into Hing Kong Station on the island, less to Kowloon. It’s quieter living there than downtown yet, as you say, several popular attractions in the area. I’ve even stayed at the Regal Airport few times and besides having a shuttle to Tung Chung MTR, you can walk to the AirPort Express and be downtown in just 20 min, although ticket prices could be prohibitive. I’ve only stayed in Monkok once and found it far too hectic. I found it better to commute from Tung Chung where it’s relatively quieter and you get more for your dollar at the hotels there. As for the island, I’ve stayed at Wanchai and causeway Bay. My preference is Causeway Bay, near to Victoria Park. Fairly easy access across the north part of the island on the Island Line, as well as to southern parts such as Stanley, Aberdeen and Shek o. Whichever part of the city one decides to stay in, first time and return visitors will have a blast in this city. It is my most favourite city Asia and never ceases to disappoint! Looking forward to seeing your other videos!

AHHH! Favorite Vlogger ko na talaga kayo!!! From Tiktok to KZbin, you really help us a lot! More travels to you guys! 🥰

[@carlostorres8767]

I didn't expect that Tungchung is an alternative area to stay because it is really far but come to think of it na as first timers na nasa itinerary ang Disney/Big buddha & Ngong Ping/Macao which is so time consuming, i think will check this one out as this is near airport as well and has good price & size for a hotel to stay, the only thing missing is the street food in mongkok & good value restos in Central. Which is a train away lang and can do in a 2 days for both areas. Thank you guys for making this informative vlog 😃

[@thepoortraveler]

You are very welcome ☺️

[@zendelrosariomtaruc5397]

Thanks

[@thepoortraveler]

OMG! Thank you so much!

[@babsthebunnyph]

Very informative. Just the right information facts that I need. Not too madaldal.

[@josereyRecinto]

so far the best review...I have been travelling to HKG since 2012 and the last trip was in March 2024. I became semi-based in North Point for a couple of years and still maintain a shared office in Hau Fook TST Kowloon. but most are business trips....In fact, I have an HK Immigration Frequent Visitor bar code on my PHL passport which give the privilege to use the EChannel immigration gates at the HKIA rather than the normal IO entry gate. very informative and comprehensive especially for first-time travellers.

[@Ferryllicious08]

I want to say thankyou…very helpful vlog.. i follow your suggestion to stay at tungchung..most of our activities disney,360 Macau oceanpark… sobrag hassle free… wala Kame masydo ginastos sa pamasahe my free shuttle ang hotel and hindi nkakapagod ang byahe.. hindi mauubos oras mo byahe.. masadami ka magagwa na activities hindi mo need mg madali paguwi..3minutes lang hotel from Tungchong MTR.. from city gate nandun ndin mga terminal..na kahit nasa dulo malapit sa airport…totoo mga advice niya😍😍 ngenjoy kame ni hubby… Maraming Salamat..travel Time january 5 to 10…dito pdin kme hongkong..

[@thepoortraveler]

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to share this. Tung Chung is such a convenient place to stay. Saves us from that long train ride from Disneyland to the city center na pagud na pagod hahaha

[@wc4109]

I’ve been to HK a number of times… I find almost anywhere is fine, as long as you’re near an MTR station… MTR made it so convenient to travel around HK. But if you like more central, then stay near the Mongkok area or Central area on HK side…

[@shanerocelle]

Just in time. Planning to go to HK this December ❤ may iba ng option aside TST

[@gibraltarchan9750]

AS A LOCAL WHO LIVE OVERSEA MOST MONTHS, I FIND YR VIDEO QUITE WELL PRESENTED, THOUGH NOT COVERING ALL , ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR FIRST TIME TRAVELLERS.............WHAT I LIKE BEST IS YR MAP REFERENCES OF DISTRICTS SHOWING DISTANCES & MAIN ATTRATIONS.........YES GREAT INTRODUCTORY VIDEO FOR FIRST TIME TRAVELLERS STAYING LESS THAN 7 DAYS WITH LTD TIME BUT WANT TO DO LOTS..........HOW ABOUT BOOK 2 DAYS IN MONKOK & 2 DAYS AT TUNG CHUNG......NOW THAT WILL BE A GREAT PLAN TOO RIGHT???????

[@ropoles]

This is an insanely good video, thank you so much! Our trip isn't until November but this video amped up my excitement tenfold, I can't wait!

Woaaah got so hooked in your video. Very informative! It’s like studying HKG landmarks in 17 mins.

[@thepoortraveler]

Thank you! 🤩

[@cpcxgsr]

my go to hotel for the last 25 years has been the BP International hotel in TST. No need to stay at the shady places in Chungking Mansion, where you can potentially catch a case of bed bugs. Or robbed by the shady characters that lurks in those areas... BP is conveniently located by Kowloon park. It's relatively affordable and by all the trains/bus lines. Not to mention, all the night markets.

[@blake1001x]

Stayed there too 😊, it was good

Thank you so much for sharing this vidio

[@hottesteverything6545]

I stayed in a hotel near NorthPoint Station (Causeway Bay) in Dec 19-22, 2019, it only costs around Php800+ a night. There are a lot of inexpensive hotels around that area. I booked that hotel because I want to try the ferry that is going to Kai Tak Cruise Terminal ... I went on a cruise with Royal Carribean's Spectrum of the Seas - 7 Nights HK-JP-HK

[@ferdieang558]

mind if if you can share what hotlel you checked-in? TIA.

[@neliaabenoja5413]

May I know the hotel you stay? I'm planning to visit this April..

[@vilmabilolo1967]

[@Therishabhchandra]

[@smalltalkjoey]

Very great video! Thanks, I’ll be visiting for 3 full days in Novembers, will probably spent every day on a different part (HK island, Kowloon and Lantau). Will stay at the causeway bay, any recommendations?

[@tca666]

I stay in northpoint mas mahal na area but at least less crowded at shala yung mga nasa paligid 😊

[@deceriemaetacuyan2772]

So helpful

[@MinEbEaST]

I’m looking forward to travel to hongkong for the first time with my partner, I’m still not too sure on where I really want to stay so if anyone is reading this and has recommendations let me know, we’re going for 4 days and we really want to visit a lot of places like of course Disneyland, Tian Tan Buddha, Ngong Ping 360, Victoria peak and many more. Another thing that is on our bucket list is food so with all these places scattered around and from the video I understand that it takes awhile to travel from point A to B so my question is where should we stay. Any further tips and advice is appreciated! Thanks

[@catherinevaldez8850]

Very informative video. Been looking for a good review on where to stay and I got here. My 17 mins were never wasted watching this. Kudos! But still confused on where is the best place to stay since our plan is disneyland, victoria peak, M+ museum and victoria cruise and were eyeing in Royal View Hotel. Would that be a good option or not? Hope someone could help. 😊

[@vincentruiz2727]

Just happen to discover you two. First time traveler to HGK, 4D/3N. Would love to see Disneyland, Ocean Park and Macau if possible. Need recommendation for hotels close to airport and areas to visit. Salamat po.

We are currently staying in Kimberley hotel tsim sha sui

[@PunxitPalaboyTraveler]

Very commendable vlog, I remember watching other Pinoy vloggers berating Chunking Mansion guesthouses & hostels online due to their bad experiences but it was their fault after all due to not following check-in hours policy & expecting way too much from a budget guesthouse/hostel. Also one criticizing Chunking Mansion being a creepy place to stay but saying he hasn’t stayed there yet (he just heard bad stories about it, huh?what the heck just hearsay!). Honestly You pointed that there are good & not so good part of staying there since you experienced it firsthand before.

[@edgarnapiza4667]

We booked in Chunking Mansion, the CR is very small you can barely moved. That is why on that same day we move to Macau and we booked a good hotel. Then the next day we stayed 1 night again in Chungking because our accommodation was for 3 nights lol. I was not able to take a shower the water had no hot shower. lol

request po sana, may prices and travel time comparison po ba kayo in each areas? para ma compare which is better based on top attractions.. Thanks

[@michelleangel2559]

thank you

[@theross327]

Thanks for the very informative video. I’m now thinking of finding a hotel in Tung Chung or Skycity area as it fits our itinerary. However I’m worried about the food choices. Can you suggest any budget-friendly restaurants near those areas? Thank you.

[@thepoortraveler]

Yun lang talaga major con nung area. Wala kami mahanap na kainan masyado, much less budget-friendly. Often kumakain muna kami malapit sa attraction (CityGate Outlets or sa city center if dun kami galing) before bumalik sa hotel. Worst case, magtake out ng mga onigiri sa 7-Eleven. Hahahaha

[@Twicycle90]

Find the place where the locals eat. There is a place within the market near the Carribean Coast

[@sharonannfernandez4445]

is it cheaper to bundle Octopus card with the Klook Hotel booking?
