oh my god chris u made it out of the chungking mansion, safe! as a person who lives here in hong kong myself, i've never go into the chungking mansion ever in my whole 24years of life, it's even scary for us too
@@lepickle4415 The people in the doorway were very rude and annoying, trying to make you stay at their particular hotel. All the workers at the stalls were pleasant and kept to themselves. The hotel staff were alright, the room itself isn't the worst I've stayed in. The building as a whole was fascinating, sort of like a watered-down version of how I imagined Kowloon Walled City to be
I have always loved Hong Kong. The crowd, the mysterious feeling and the general layout of the city. It's intoxicating. And the people value what they have and fight for it. Hope Hong Kong can fight off the danger it faces.
Do ignore the Chinese nationalist (or wumao) above, he’s entitled to his own opinion but doesn’t represent the majority of HK people. You are definitely welcome to HK whenever this virus dies down, though I would advise you to stay vigilant; a gang of 40 people just beat up 4 citizens that were posting posters regarding the movement. And guess what, instead of arresting the assaulters, the hkpd arrested the 4 victims under illegal assembly, absolutely ridiculous.
Endelig Gnist that’s the last resort, or we say Phoenixism. Burn Hong Kong to the ground by draining the money flow and rebuild it after this quasi-civil war.
I've been there once in Chung King Mansion, an local Indian (I mean ethnicity, she's 100% Hongkonger) guide us to try out the curry and the food were superb. Anyway it's less horrify than most of u guys might think of haha =]
@@BlaudracheLP its actually not cheap AT ALL. Im from hong kong and stuff cost a lot.. i have friends from different places and they once told me how much their orange juice cost.. its like &5 dollars while at my local 7-eleven orange juice costs $11
such a pity you went to the least local places in hong kong. you didn't discover the true beauty of this fascinating labyrinth. as a local hongkonger, i'm still enjoying being lost on the streets and always discovering something new. hope you'll come again and see more sides of hong kong!
I stumbled across this video and it's interesting to see the perspective of a tourist as I am from and lived in Hong Kong for my entire life. In all honesty, most of the places you mentioned are places I have never even stepped foot in, especially the ChungKing mansion. It is also super cool to see HK from a couple years back, with protests that have majorly affected our lives and the coronavirus, it has taken a massive toll on Hong Kong. Us student haven't been in school since January but luckily our cases are dying down and most places have reopened. Once this pandemic is over and if you do return to HK, I recommend going to Ocean Park, its an amusement park with a mixture of sea life, animals and also fun and thrilling rides. Also, the street food in Causeway Bay and Mongkok are iconic and delicious and for sure a must-try. Anyways, hope you guys are safe and healthy and thank you for this beautifully made video!
Welcome to the Pearl of Orient and the Miserable City of the East. And that Chunqing Building you go to, most of us didn't go there, it is mostly populated by foreigners, and it was truly a interesting and unintentional trip to Hong Kong. Hope you stop by soon. ~Love from Hong Kong :)
I'm from Hong Kong! It's incredible to see my favourite RUclipsr in my hometown! Love my city! If you ever come back and need any tips or anything, I'll give you tips!
What the- As a child my mom never let me go into Chungking Mansion, let alone walk past the entrance! Can’t believe you made it out. Thanks for choosing Hong Kong out of all the places you could have gone to! Also I loved that brand of noodles. It was great. Come back soon! It’s the best place I’ve ever lived, and I think of going back every day.
@@HalfAsleepChris I think it's called doll fried noodle, and this yellow one is deep fried garlic and chilli flavour. Personally I prefer chilli sauce flavour, it's classic.
hong kong is very strange - the new, old and the natural blend into one because they have too many mountainous terrains that can't be built on, and the old includes old buidings from the far past till today. the new is just as uncertain. but that's the beauty of hong kong. it's beautiful in its own bizarre way. going once lets you see the city from the tourist view. but going twice or more allows you to see even more than just a tourist view. you get to see it from the perspective of a citizen. it is so weird to see the new world blend with the traditional, but hong kong prides itself on that.
I'm so glad you made this video Chris! Because me and my family were planning to go to Hong Kong, but because of the lockdown, we couldn't go. Great video. It made my day.
I am from Hong Kong, and I am really thankful that you appreciate the scenery and all the other awesome things in Hong Kong. (Well in fact, you should book hotels that have better reputations, although it may cost you more, or otherwise you might end up in a really terrible place. The quality of hotels vary significantly, and those with less reputations usually bring a less pleasant experience) Hope you enjoyed your stay here, and please visit us again in the future! There are so much more to explore.
Looking at this makes me miss Hong Kong because it was the first time since I ever left the country and it was a sight to see, like it was the New York City of Asia and yes I may have inhaled smoke from the people smoking, it didn’t stop me from enjoying my time even if we were in a small room in the middle of the city. I enjoyed going to Disneyland cause it was my first time in a Disneyland and it was a dream of mine, it was the first time I encountered different people and different cultures. So Half-Asleep Chris, thank you for making this video, it reminded me of a time of firsts and joys and I do wish I can go back to Hong Kong soon.
Broken Ankles a man of culture i see.... I only go there for cheap Indian and Bangladeshi foods because i ma from Bangladesh and my parents and their friends are familiar with the shops and the place. The place may seem dodgy because of some south-east Asians their but they seem harmless and are helpful except few......
As a person born and lived in Hong Kong, I love the video. It was detail and fun to watch. If you were to go back make sure you go to ocean park, it is an amazing place ( now theres even a water park available and hotel ) and ofc stay at Disney hotel ( but sadly theres o fire work anymore ). And make sure to go to some different Hong Kong's shopping centre / mall is a lot of fun!!
As a Hong Konger, I found Chung King Mansion pretty interesting if you give it a chance. It reflects the “low-end” side of globalisation, where people from developing countries gather and sell goods and services. They actually have some pretty authentic Indian/ African restaurants that’s really good! I’m glad you enjoyed your time here, but you missed out on the food! The culinary scene here is amazing!! We actually have lots of local deli (chachanting) that sells local food like pineapple bun at a really affordable price.
Chris: "I'm one of those people that wants to be extremely early!" I yelled," ME! Edit: (Also cheers to everyone for liking this is the first time someone has liked one of my comments!)
When you said 0:01 "We were never supposed to be in Hong Kong" , I expected that you were talking about all British people! Didn't you already have enough empire?! Just kidding, you're nice. 😂
Respectfully, I think having Brits here in Hong Kong are far better than having the Chinese here (speaking as a fellow Hong Konger). Politically and as tourists.
I'm a local and I never knew what was inside chungking mansion but I'm glad you made it out! Hope you come back to HK soon! There's a bunch you definitely missed out on, especially the food HK has to offer.
Welcome to Hong Kong, we just have some huge protests for the past 9 months, and now police brutality and torture happen every weekend, not to mention almost everyday naked body can find in the sea and throw down from building which police declare not suspicious. Seeing you video give me a peculiar feeling. Anyway glade you like this place.
OMG, I laughed aloud when you described the Chunking “hotel” experience. I’m sure it wasn’t so funny while there. What an experience, overall. Sad you could not get money back from originally purchased air and hotel prior to Hong Kong.
Chungking mansion is famous in Hong Kong for being less safe and secured, but it's a real budget to stay there I guess. Hong Kong may not be the nicest place to live (due to its high living fees) but its skyscrapers view and diverse culture is absolutely amazing.
You could say that HK visit was a happy little accident. I've always wanted to visit HK to climb the Peak, ride the Ngong Ping 360, and go to Hong Kong Disneyland. The Mickey MTR train is so cute. Excited for the new castle. I really want to ride Mystic Manor
It was amazing. Unfortunately the Ngong Ping 360 was just too expensive on this trip, hence why we got the bus. Disneyland was great, there are pictures online of the new castle almost fully built now, it looks really cool and unique. Mystic Manor was excellent!
Oh Hong Kong! I miss it so much from when I visited last summer (I suppose it’s changed a lot since then!) I managed to see a wild boar in the forest whilst climbing Victoria Peak so maybe all that staring at the ground did you good! I’m actually doing a presentation on real estate in HK today for Geography XD great video as always!
I was in hong kong for a while (maybe a week) on a trip through southeast asia and honestly it has some of the coolest history ever and I really just love the place and btw I really love your video’s.
I stayed 3 nights at Chungking mansions about 18 years ago and my room was about 1/3 of te size of yours (but i was traveling by myself) I wanted to stay there because of the movie: “ Chungking express“ (a must see in my opinion). and: Tay pan by James Clavell is a nice novel to read about the origins of Hongkong.
This is one of the best video edits about a HK that I've ever seen. It's a great video to forget that we have a global pandemic, thanks for sharing it. Greetings from Mexico!
@@jaydonly2336 I think Chris saying the phrase "happy accident" is the Bob Ross reference, As Bob Ross was known for saying "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."
Chris thanks for biting the bullet and doing the mammoth edit required for each of these trip videos. I love your stuff, but these trip videos I love the best. It's lovely watching someone with a gentle and kind nature experience things for the first time, and the production values are great! Can't wait to see you hit the ground in NZ
you dont need to worry about the corona virus thing, its gone down already. just be aware of the police :) you would like to avoid them as much as you can :3
People in Chungking Mansion are quite friendly, tbh. You can get spices, grains and curries at a VERY reasonable price in the south asian supermarket; good quality perfumes and incense; genuine parallel import goods and more. They even have some of the best curries and vegetarian restaurants. There are also guided tours to the Mansion held by locals who actually live or work there, quite fun.
I was in a similar predicament last year! After a great time in Taiwan, me and my family were heading back to the Philippines. But a day or so before, we found out that dangerous storms made it so that all flights there will be cancelled. We didn’t want to go through re-booking our hotel there, so we decided to go to HongKong and would take a different flight back to the Philippines. In the meantime, We were just kinda stuck in HongKong for a day or two. We booked a hotel and explored various areas. We explored a museum, checked out a few stores (hidden Jolibee!!), and spent the afternoon at a park. I loved my time in an unexpected trip to HongKong!
Hongkong Disneyland is so fun. I was in Honkong for most of my life and I remember when I was around 5, me, my mums friends, and my mum would have so much fun there and buy so many things, pens, bubble blower thingamajigs, water bottles etc, etc. It was so much fun, but now because of covid and quarantines, I cant go back to Hongkong for yearly visits. I hope I am able to go back there and see the rest of my family. Love from New Zealand
Top tip - to get up Victoria Peak get the bus! There's a public bus to the top (and the reverse journey down). Cheaper and easier than the tram and it shows you the other half of Hong Kong Island than the view back to the mainland.

oh my god! Finally! I've been waiting for this installment for years! Thank you Chris for showing a wonderful side to my sometimes crappy hometown!
Hey Chris any tips on making a mini fort for my 20 year old cat
The jolliness of this video make it looks like it was made 10+ years ago!
You should have got the bus down! It's faster and actually quite peaceful.
yea disneyland is very happy n cute but i would totally suggest ocean park instead, it's a lot more fun n interesting!
This will be interesting :)
Love your avatar, Hermitcraft forever
It was so interesting that I subscribed to your channel
People in Chungking Mansion are quite friendly, tbh. You can get spices, grains and curries at a VERY reasonable price in the south asian supermarket; good quality perfumes and incense; genuine parallel import goods and more. They even have some of the best curries and vegetarian restaurants. There are also guided tours to the Mansion held by locals who actually live or work there, quite fun.
6:30 I’m a train enthusiast, and I’m shaking my head now,
Very nice , hope all of you are keeping sane in these troubled times, brings back some great memories
"But, it turns out you need a visa to visit Myanmar"

In 2016 I also went to Hong Kong-Thailand-Malaysia and many other places. Missing that time and loved your video!
Many people live in a place like that everyday in Hong Kong.
P sad

Oh thank you chris! I am from New Zealand also so I am absolutely pumped to see what you have planned for the video!
McDonalds in Hong Kong is operated by China hence we are mostly boycotting them.
No we don't
ik due to its price.
I was in a similar predicament last year! After a great time in Taiwan, me and my family were heading back to the Philippines. But a day or so before, we found out that dangerous storms made it so that all flights there will be cancelled. We didn’t want to go through re-booking our hotel there, so we decided to go to HongKong and would take a different flight back to the Philippines. In the meantime, We were just kinda stuck in HongKong for a day or two. We booked a hotel and explored various areas. We explored a museum, checked out a few stores (hidden Jolibee!!), and spent the afternoon at a park. I loved my time in an unexpected trip to HongKong!
1:22 lol that’s downstairs of where my apartment is haha!
oh god you were _that_ close to meeting him
Hongkong Disneyland is so fun. I was in Honkong for most of my life and I remember when I was around 5, me, my mums friends, and my mum would have so much fun there and buy so many things, pens, bubble blower thingamajigs, water bottles etc, etc. It was so much fun, but now because of covid and quarantines, I cant go back to Hongkong for yearly visits. I hope I am able to go back there and see the rest of my family. Love from New Zealand
IVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE. WILL CHRIS LOVE THIS COMMENT? WE DON'T KNOW.
Keith A. No. He has better stuff to do.
Top tip - to get up Victoria Peak get the bus! There's a public bus to the top (and the reverse journey down). Cheaper and easier than the tram and it shows you the other half of Hong Kong Island than the view back to the mainland.
6:31 ARRRRRGH Train Based Anger!
soooo true!
Wow! That looks like so much fun. When I’m older, I aspire to travel all over the world. Watching these videos make me want to go to Asia!
It doesn't look fun
