What's up fam! Hope the video helped you get a better handle on this amazing city! For a full list of recommendations, restaurants, street food spots, and bars check out my website: www.golocaltips.com/hongkong

Next time, go to Sai Kung and take one of the many small ferries to Sharp Island - get off at the first stop and hike across to the second stop! It is an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL hike!

[@kchung9209]

Lan Kwai Fong is not on the Kowloon side of the city....it is located in Central on the Hong Kong island side of city.

[@CalMcKinley]

Must've been drunk when I edited this part haha yeah it is on the island side of the city, your absolutely right :D good catch!

[@JRebsauce]

Please do not hike up Victoria Peak even if you are trying to avoid the crowds. I lived there for over 2 years and there are much better ways. 1 - Take the Peak Tram 2 - Take a bus - Double decker or mini buses are constantly going up there. 3 - Uber/Lyft 4 - Taxi There is about a 15 minute loop up on the top that you can get great views of HK on.

[@youknowwho2887]

Could you also tell how much each way of transportation cost? thanks, i'm going in may:D

[@tschanen]

Just returned from Hong Kong. Just so you know... There is now a ferry that goes directly to Sok Kwu Wan from the Central. If eat at the Rainbow Market they will provide you a free ferry ride back home.

[@bigballer3760]

you are the best explorer I watched on KZbin

[@Reformatt]

Kal is doing a great job indeed, lots of envy!

[@BROSONTHEGO]

Great video.. helped me alot in my vlogs for HK

[@careystravels]

You also missed the Tsim Sha Tsui Stars Walk of Fame along their Waterfront, AND Tung Chung's Cable Car Ride!

[@sabrinamobley1978]

Good Video! I love the music.

[@marta_coz]

Thanks for this video !

[@tildstickley]

Tian Tan Buddha - spiritual and surrounded by Starbucks and 7-11? Nah! You need to get to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastry in Sha Tin. Pretty hidden (but there are signs from the station), a little bit of a trek but not well known to tourists. And beautiful! There are more than 10,000 of them for sure. Plus it's free.

[@adamszekrenyes9741]

You're basically the younger version of Casey Neistat who's also a bad-ass with a guitar. :D I love both of your channels! Keep up the good work!

[@CalMcKinley]

Haha thanks man! Always appreciate the kind words!

[@sydneyleiher7381]

I'm flying into Hong Kong June 1st!

[@whereeveritgoes]

The cheapest Michelin star in the world is in Singapore.. xD Anyway, nice vid! Travelling to HK in two weeks time and your video helps me a lot in my decisions on places to go.

[@angusgotbeef]

That may be the cheapest for some, but I think it all depends on what kind of food that you order. If you're only interested in getting Char Siu Buns as featured in this video, you'll only have to pay $2.7 US dollars for 3 buns.

[@jdkrasinki2214]

both sucks. the michelin people are crazy to give them a star and their quality has been dropping like birdshit everyday since. michelin star should go to really good restaurant with impeccable food, service, and ambience. not some dinghy chicken rice stall and some overrated dim sum joint

[@yinmunho8966]

nice video!

[@hunhunhaha]

great job

[@AJ627]

Was that a reference to Kung Fu Riders at the end?

[@cevramz]

Hey! How much was the customized shirt and how long did you have to wait for it? Thanks! Really curious.

[@CalMcKinley]

He'll take your measurements there and then ship you the shirts or pants in about 2 weeks time. The cost totally depends on what fabric you choose and can range from $50USD to $200USD. but i promise for the quality its the cheapest custom tailored shirt you can get!

[@cevramz]

Cal McKinley I’ll take note of this! Thanks!

[@mkorenhof]

You forgot to mention day trip to Macau

[@Anunnaki976]

How much was the shirt?

[@robertramsey6996]

LKF...is not on kowloon side...its on hk island!

[@chriswoo2867]

There is another European country that is very known to Americans but it is safe very low crime rates and very very peaceful also neutral the country is called Finland, heard it was a beautiful place to visit, thinking about moving their when I am older

[@cookingshowslee7607]

Chris Woo cold as shit there

[@arts4152]

I don't like Finland

[@arts4152]

They are rude

[@ivyanddavid]

It's Chinese Chess (Xiangqi, not checkers.) And yes, it is taken seriously, like chess for some westerners.

[@antifugazi]

Y'all travel bloggers are great n all but... you guys gotta stop playing the same style music, all the music in the world and you guys always pick that choppy hip hop stuff.

[@ryannt]

I was talking to a youtuber the other day. due to copyrights, most vlogers use the same music. Their videos got flagged if not careful. Then they hv to re edit and re upload it

[@m0kkori]

That video didn't age well...
