Wala namang trip na perfect. Kahit anong galing mo sa pag-plano, may mga bagay ka pa ring makakaligtaan or hindi alam, lalo na kung first time mo. And isa sa mga karaniwang first-time destinations para sa mga Pinoy ay ang Hong Kong. Sa totoo lang, hindi naman mahirap i-explore ang Hong Kong, pero syempre, may mga bagay pa ring kailangang alam mo before you go.

just to add… better may dala ka na eco bag kasi may charges ang plastic bag sa mga supermarket at ibang shops
Don't buy water in 7-11 store . If you really in budget. Go find wellcome and park n shop for bottle water only 3.50hkd and buy 3 for 15 HKD that's 1.5 litre of water.
Actually if you want to explore cheaper food with a lot of options from Asian to Western, you can stay in Kowloon area. Mong Kok, Jordan, Sham Shui Po, Prince Edward, Tai Kok Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, these are the districts where you can find various food options that typically ranging from 40-80HKD per person. That’s already a meal with really big serving. Because looking for food anywhere in HK side (Central,Sheung Wan,Kennedy Town) food prices are already higher since a lot of expats live there and the area is the business center of HK. There are a few affordable food shops like what we call here “Dai Pai Dong” or their carinderia version that some even got Michelin Star but in most cases they are super busy especially during peak hours which will eat a lot of your time while waiting for your table. Plus, if you are a tourist here in HK you will want to try their traditional food unless you want something more modern. Another tip, if you love seafood (HKG seafood cuisine is a must try) Cheung Chau, Mui Wo, Sai Kung and Lamma Island are the places to be.
And this vlog is also correct concerning random checking by the police. Every resident of HKG MUST be carrying their HKID all the time, if you don’t have it, your ID must be reachable within 500m from your current location otherwise we will get a penalty. This is also applicable to tourists. You SHOULD bring your passport wherever you go. HKG law is very strict. If you can’t provide your ID, then sorry. For lodging I think it’s better to look for an Airbnb. There are big flats that can accommodate large groups for the same price of getting a hotel room that can only accommodate 2pax.
Your videos very informative and always updated, A true traveller
Thank you for this! Will be traveling to Hong Kong for the first time this September 2024. Napaka-helpful ng tips!
“ Mahal ang Hong Kong “. Totoo yan. It was way cheaper pre pandemic. Japan is actually cheaper than HK now when it comes to eating and shopping.
True
Better mag Taiwan now than HK...But I love HK because of Disneyland...But won't go there every year
Love your suggested places to visit HK. Sana more affordable hotel and food places to go for on your next video. Looking forward to our first time travel to HK sa November. Sana may Macao recommendations too kasi plan is to stay in HK for 3 days and 3 days in Macao. 🙂
The best talaga content mo ..
I really like the way you narrate your vlogs. Very detailed and informative. Salamat po.
Thank you! 😃
Planning to go to HK on August this year with my wife. Thank you for the tips. :) We really need to check the weather to make the most out of the trip.
A little bit rainy in August
August weather in HK is horrible! Hot & humid.
Better visit during the winter season esp. January or February
August is the peak of summer here in HKG. Just a reminder that HKG summer is different from Pinas. It is veeery humid here. Aside from visiting major tourist spots, I hope you try going to a public beach here. It’s worth it ❤ Just don’t visit on weekends of course it will be crowded. Lower Cheung Sha, Big Wave, Shek O, Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung. I personally recommend these options. Don’t go to Repulse, Deep Water Bay, Stanley, Middle Bay, these are all overrated and dirty.
oct and nov pinakamagandang mag travel dto di mainit at d rin malamig ang klima
pwidi magtanong anong klaseng ticket sa disneyland ang kuhanin, yung pwidi kay pumasok sa frozen ride both and mga shows need ko this coming november 14, 2024 tatlo kami... then in november 13, 2024 need ko ng isang sim card at need ko din the tatlong octopus card
We went to HK prepandemic and stayed in Golden Crown (TST area). Very accessible sa mtr and bus specially from and to the airport. We explored the usual key areas like Ocean Park, Disneyland, Victoria Peak, Mongkok area, etc ng walang kahirap-hirap dahil ang ganda ng transpo system nla. We also purchased the amusement parks tickets in Golden Crown since they are cheaper compared to Klook. Best mont to visit is mid-March parang Baguio weather lang, sarap maglakad kc di mainit kaya maski bata na kasama ko di nagreklamo.
We stayed in Golden Crown too!
Anlakas ng wifi...ang mura ng mga amusement park tickets...Try nyo din yon mag Hygee House maganda din near Golden Crown( laging puno ang Golden Crown e)...The best kasi near MTR station...Whenever Info to HK I booked with these 2 guesthouses ❤️
@@yasminreyes957 True. Mabilis ma-sold out Golden Crown since recommended din sya sa mga travel forums. GC is a better option compared to Chungking or Mirador - medyo shady ang vibe nitong 2 sa kin 😅
@@pilyangmaarte1551 Yes! Kami we tried to book a year ago...Fully booked talaga sila palagi 😭
Kami din dati (2008), pag bumalik uli kami sa hk, dun pa din kami hehe. Pinay pa din naanutan nyong staff o receptionist sa maghapon?
@@NellaSantos82 We were there 2018 and yes Pinay pa din ang staff.
We will visit HK next year February. What is your suggested tourist spot na okay puntahan? :) maulan ba kapag february?
For me kng gsto nyo ng malamig January to feb. Nice weather good for long walk
hindi po ba maulan kapag february? okay kaya mag disneyland?
Pati plane ticket (laki singil sa gas, parang hindi ramdam dati ba, libre kasi ako dati😆) travel tax dito sa pinas tumaas din, pumunta kami ng 2008 nasa 1k pa lang travel tax, ngayon nasa 1,500+ or 1,600+ pesos na.
Planning to go to HK sa January next year (sakto din sa Chinese New Year). Kaso nahihirapan ako makahanap ng accessible and affordable na accomodation (for 3pax) na hindi mahihirapan ang pag commute. Plano namin Disneyland, Cable car and Buddha
You can try best western hotel sa Tsim Sha Tsui. Accessible sya sa maraming destinations. super efficient ang train system Ng Hk. Mura din yung hotel. Walking distance lang sa avenue of Stars at K11 mall. Train papuntang Disneyland at Ngong Ping na Cable car.
Or sa golden crown sa tst din, mura duon mas maayos sya kaysa sa mirador at chumking mansion ba yun hehe. Pero wag mag expect ng malaking space, 2 luggage at maliit na bag keri naman sa place
Khit lowbatt po ang cellphone pwde pa din po magamit ang octopus sir 😊
Kaya po ba Ngong Ping Cable Car sa umaga till noon then The Peak sa hapon hanggang pagabi?
Mag suot ng comfortable rubber shoes dahil puro lakad sa HK at masarap din ang mga foods sa market at mas mura .
Good evening po idol c kuya bong e2 sa Boracay Island naalala mo ba po nasakyan Nyo multicab.ako ang Driver po marami nagtawag sa akin dahil Nikita daw po nila ang n#. Ko sa you tube channel mo.sa pgland tour po at sinabi ko sa mga visita ko na Mg comment d2 sa you tube at share at like comment siguro mhigit kumulang 600 na katao.ingat ka idol dyan.
I think I saw you two last May 30 in the immigration T1.
Baka kami nga yun 😅 Morning ba?
@@thepoortraveler yes. And mas matagal IO natin (Yosh) compared sa IO ni Vince. Tas cancelled flight pa ni PAL
nalilito ako.....parte ba ng kowloon ang tsim sha tsui?
Yes! Nasa Kowloon ang TST.
Mas mahal pa sa hong kong disneyland kesa isa tokyo disneyland i'm tokyo disneyland 3,300 something lang pag nag travel ka ba question na ba ang 50k pag solo ka lang minsan kasi promo ang hong kong eh bakit 3,500 ok God Bless 🥰
have you tried going there ng Dec? how was the weather and the view?
Is it good to visit hongkong end of Aug to 1st week of September?
Anong best weather month sa hongkong? Balak kong pumunta sa HK by november..
Sabay na po kayo sa amin sa September (last week na po siguro), autumn season nila yun, hindi ganun kainit at kalamig. 2008 pumunta kami dun september, sakto sa nanay ko na ayaw ng malamig na weather at hindi mainit ng bongga (december to march malamig daw paramg baguio), april to october tag ulan daw sa hk.
Bahala ka pokung anu gusto mo, malamig o summer o saktohan lang na weather
Yung pumunta kami sa Hong Kong thinking na makakapagshopping spree kami ng tulad sa Bangkok, nope! Dun kami nagkamali. Rubber shoes at konting tshirt lang nabili namin. Yung stores na tabi tabi selling cute clothes, bags, anik anik, waley!🤣
Nasa argyle center mga cute na damit in mongkok
1st wk of april kami pumunta infairness madami pa sale pati malamig pa.
Marami po but u did not go to d right place in between mong kok and prince edward near the biggest flower market is a long bangketa shopping area side by side and middle are all selling clothes bags etc mostly korean, japan, china made. Temple St is the same pero mas mahal and nagtetake advantage mga ibang seller. Sham shui po is another area where in you can get crazy brand new and ukay at mga gadgets to as low as 5$ lng. In the night marami din latag mapapagod ka kapipili because buong area from A to D is latag
For shoes dami branded umpisahan mo lng mglakad from tsim sat tsui khit diretsuhin mo lng highway dami. Easy Jodan mtr exit D2 yon shopping mall dami good buy for shoes. Mong Kok you'll get crazy dami shoes n clothes
Can i bring my extension in hk
3 adults kami pero balak namin na 1 room na good for 2pax with 2 single beds lang ang kukunin para makatipid. Pwede ba ito gawin sa hong kong? Hindi ba kami masisita ng hotel staff?
Sa Metropark Hotel Mongkok sana balak namin mag stay. Dalawa lang ang mag check-in tapos susunod na lang maya-maya ang isa para 3 kami sa room.
Actually dito sa hong kong hindi naman sila strict kung ilan tao yung nasa room, base on my experience during staycation
Hi! I have watched many of your videos. I enjoyed and learned the most when you compare cities. I will be visiting HK soon that is why I stumbled on your video because I felt that though I have been in HK for three times already, I needed to be updated because it has been long I have visited HK. Another, I really wanted to see Frozen. I took note of your suggestions, but I booked in Yha Mei Ho Youth Hostel in Sham Sui Po because of the space. I booked it through Agoda. I need airport transport. Any recommendations on this since we are four? I agree that HK is expensive, but I need to see the changes in Disneyland. I agree also that one must bring his passport all the time not only for security but also for discounts. I hope you can recommend to me a hotel in Fukuoka. Should we sleep in Nagasaki for two days? I am planning to go to the Peace Museum and Huis Ten Bosch. I know you have a video on this. But where else do you recommend for a side trip.
Thank you for the videos with language that is appropriate even for young audiences. God bless!
Hi!! Will go there next month. Planning to use our gotyme card instead of buying octopus card. Is it more convenient? Pls share some tips!! Also, nice content 👍🏻
Octopos card na lang po bilhin nyo, gamit namin last 2008, yan din uli gamitin namin pag sure na kaming pupunta uli
@@NellaSantos82 been in HK last week. Nag gotyme lang po kami 🙂
@@_comffee ok po❤️
Hi, thanks po sa mga info, my mga questions lng ako about sa sim first time kc nmin punta hk. Need ba nmin ng pocket wifi if bibili kami ng sim card? Or we can buy sim card na may data na po? Mag stay kc kmi ng 4 days, ano pong sim yung ma rerecomend nyo na bilin sa klook. Thanks a lot.ingat kayo lagi.
esim sa klook.mas ok
I took pre registration for 6 days since I will visit Macau on day 1 .When I enter again old pre registration will expire and I need to take a new one right
Actually kahit visa free ang HK d ako naattract pumunta dyan parang madami magaspang ugali na lokal, mag eeffort na lang ako sa visa ng Japan
Taiwan ok mga locals...they will go on their way to help you...Di ka masisisgawan😂
@@yasminreyes957 yes Taiwan kami sa October, super excited
Good enjoy!
True hindi maganda ugali ng mga taga hong kong ….. mga naka angil ang tono ng pagsasalita sa foreigner …. Wag mong hawakan ang prutas maski ma examine mo lang muna …. Kaya di ko na enjoy ang pag punta sa hong kong ….. mahal maski noon pa di naman ganoon ka worth maski ang food …..
Ano pong sasakyan from central station to peak tram? May kasama po kcng senior. Thanks po
Malapit sa mtr central station at cathedral ng catholic yung sakayan ng peak. My sign board naman malapit dun or magtanung na lang kayo. Di lang kami natuloy dati (2008) uso rally nuon, eh senior kasama ko. Sabi ng mga pinay na naka chikahan namin sa Central (nadaanan namin yung sakayan sana ng peak) eh my rally daw ng hapon, baka di na kami makauwi sa guest house na tinutuluyan namin pag pumunta kami duon kaya bumalik na lang kami sa TST
Hello ThePoorTraveler (or anyone who may be knowledgeable about it when they see my comment/question), I'd like to ask regarding the Hongkong Tourist Octopus Card. Can I use that to pay for Airport Express by tapping up its amount? I was hoping I could use that instead of pre-buying a one-way return ticket. Or is there a particular reason why Airport Express tickets are bought separately? TIA
Hi! As far as I know, the Octopus card also works on Airport Express.
But booking a separate Airport Express ticket on Klook is cheaper. For example, the roundtrip to Hk station using Octopus, i think is around 220HKD. If you buy on Klook, as of this writing, it’s only 154HKD. That’s 66 HKD savings.
Ooh, ok. Got it, thank you for clarifying. Currently planning now for our HK trip with fam this Nov 2024 🙂 Always appreciate your content as we are always on the lookout for bigger/better savings + maximumnexperience when traveling
Hala yung price ng water pang malaki na ata yung nabibili ko dati
Why some vloggers recommend rabit card what is the difference?
Octopus card ang gamit dito sa hong kong, at pagkakaalam ko rabbit card naman sa thailand
Planning to go back to HK.
first time to go there in 2019 and most people are rude (in my experience), did you also experience the same?
mabait nman sila ..pero sobrang mahal ng food.mas mahal pa sa singapore.
Mahal tlaga ang water sa 7/11 punta ka supermarket 3$lg mlaki n.
kung gusto po ninyo ng cheapest water sa mga dispensary po mas mura im here in hk
Magkano po ba dapat ang cash on hand pag pupunta sa HK? ung tipid tlga pang kain lang and ikot ikot lang.
@@Mommymadghielittletreasure Mag alocate ka at least 80 hkd for each meal. Meyron din naman as low as 40 HKD. Yun kung sa restaurant ka kakain. Pag gusto mo mas matipid, pwede ka bumili ng cooked meals sa mga supermarket like Welcome .You just need to look around. Pag bus and train, di naman mahal ang pamasahe.
@@514broly thank you po
What requirements did you bring when you visit Hong Kong
Wla naman. Passport lang
Ang weather d2 sa hk prng mga ugali ng mga hongkongers,weather,weather din,at pag mamili kyo wag kyo hawak ng hawak tpos nd nyo bibilhin lalo n s market mkkrinig kyo ng hiyaw hehehe
are they really like that or tlagang galit sila sa mga pinoy? im here in Hk now and di naman ako 1st timer sa Hk tho madalas sa TST kami nagppunta then 1st time ko dito sa causeway bay. we stayed in Harbour Grand then alam ko naman masusungit sila pero kahapon may ibang nangyari. we went to an art museum malapit lang sa hotel then may nalabasan kami na field na puro rock pebbles. then naglakad kami kasi nagdidiscuss kmi ng husband ko saan kami dinnner. there were few kids cguro 2 lang then i told my kids (11 at 13 yo) na umiwas kasi baka mabato sila ng mga bata. then we went at the edge ng field. nagppulot pulot ng pebbles anak ko babae kc nabobore na daw sya. then usap kami ni hubby. suddenly, may hongkie woman na lumapit at sinita ang anak ko. galit sya sabi nya “dont do that to my son!” napalingon ako sa nak ko, sabi ko what happened, sabi ng hongkie “ shes throwing rock to my son!” e wala nman kami nakitang dumaan na bata or tao. sabi ng anak ko “ i just threw the pebble back to the field because i dont like it!” so meaning wala nman syang ginaagwa na kakaiba at wala nmang bata or tao na malapit bukod sa knila ng kuya nya. so i asked the hongkie “why are you accusing my daughter??! she disnt throw any rock to anyone! do you have proof!?” she said “yes i have proof” me: “where is your proof! show it to me! why are you accusing my daughter??!” then she continued talking but not looking to me but to my daughter, she was really picking on my daughter! then i got really angry i told her “ we came here looking for food! and we didnt hurt anyone!” then she walked away talking pa rin then i shouted to loud i was really angry “we didnt hurt your son! what is your problem??!” then i watched while she walked away wala nman syang kasamang bata or lalaki. parang may saltik sya sa pag iiisp pr sgiuro she just wanted to pick on my daughter talaga kaya inis na inis ako.
How is Hong Kong in November?
Medyo malamig na rin. Pero prepare na may mga days na maulan.
good day po! tanong lang po.. required din po ba mga kids to have octopus card like 6 yrs and below?
Hi Catherine! Ang alam ko po, yes po. Meron pong Octopus Card for kids 3-11 years old na mas mura.
@@thepoortravelersaan po naaavail yon? Sa klook din? O sa airport na upon arrival? Thank you
@@lmponteras2898yes po sa airport meron iba din po yung octopus card ng senior
planning to go Aug I needed this
Meron po kau video New York?
Naku, wala pa po. Di po kami natuloy pa-US last year. 😅
super big mistake tlga ung booked lhat ung itinerary, lalo n ung pgpunta nmin sa Victoria peak ng gabi na foggy. Maaga nagsara mga shops so hindi tlaga nmin naenjoy.
Sayang! Mas ok po ung mga tickets na flexible ang date pag sa Victoria Peak talaga lalo na pag autumn/winter.
Sa sheung wan island ata kame napadpad nun from macau, Naalala ko yung shun tak center duon, anu bang major attractions dun sa sheung wan island?
Sheung Wan is an MTR station not an island.
You must be referring to HK Island.
@@flip1sba ah ok, ganun pala
Sa Sheung Wan, madaming makikita na hindi common sa tourists. Tulad ng Man Mo Temple, Western Market, food streets markets, fringe clubs, at madami pang iba
@@0xastley thank you
Guess house tiny and dangerous
pag senior kailangan pa ba ng vaccine card
Hindi na po requirements ang vaccine card dito sa hk
@@Dee_j31 thank you
Sir San po b dapat magpapalit ng HKD sa Pinas o sa Hongkong , pwede po b Pesos to HKD s Hongkong
Oo pwd peso to hkd. But maganda Atm dun ka na mag withdraw medyo mataas ang rate compared sa nagpapalit ka
@@LucilaRendon-k2r San po pwedeng mag withdraw kagad pagka arrive po sa HK Int'l Airport?
@@thorsVirgo sa airport may mga ATM naman
Anong bank po yan? Mas malaki exchange rate nila compared to money changers? Di ba malaki kaltas ng mga bank pag ganon?
@@sLick069 yung kapatid ko kasi nagdala ng philipine money dun din cya nagpapalit. Tapos akin atm kinompare namin. Ang bank ko landbank. Charge ng withdrawal 150 pesos.
Will you guys also post this vid in English please? Love your content but we only speak English.
This video is more intended for Filipino travellers but there are alot of videos and info on visitng HK in RUclips.
Hi! Yes, there will be English versions of our HK videos too!
just turn on the subtitles and choose English.
Mas mahal pa din si SG. 😅
Yas. SG pa rin ang title holder haha
Mas mahal po pala yung SG? Akala ko mas mura, lalo sa transpo nila. 😅 Sa HK po, how much po ang dapat na budget? Yung may shopping plus maenjoy yung food and libot po ng lugaf? 😅
Never ever say bad things about China there. Better still, don't discuss at all about political issues involving them there.
Ignorant comment
Indeed! 😂
1st
I WILL NEVER SET FOOT SA TERRITORY ng mga chekwa especially I’m a Filipino I HATE the system of government under XI.
HK is different from China. It may be part of China but it has its own system of government.
In fact many HKers detest China and The CCP as with the past protest prior to The National Security Law.
I ❤ HK!!!
HKG is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) ...just like Macau...You don't go to HKG for political reasons...but for tourism purposes....your political ideologies is immaterial to this blog...HKG is "one country, two systems"... this is different from the Mainland. I suggest you also try to read and learn about this to adjust your opinions about HKG
HONGKONG IS SO BORING. DISNEYLAND, OCEAN PARK THEN WHAT ELSE? LOL
BETTER GO TO SINGAPORE.
HK has natural beaches and hundreds of Hiking trails. Singapore has fake beaches and no mountains and just plain flat. Boring
@@robocop581 : I totally agree!
Honest opinion po,mas mgnda pa pilipinas kesa hk.
Nope
I agree with you. A lot of nice places to go in our own country.
