- In this video, we explore the other side of Hong Kong by getting the Star Ferry across to Hong Kong Central. If you want to get in your steps for the day Hong Kong is the perfect city for you. 2 short days was not enough time to explore all of the city so we will definitely be back one day!

Had lived in different countries for almost 30 years, finally moved back for good about 2 years ago … Every country has its own advantages and disadvantages and there’s no such thing as a “perfect country”. It’s all about personal preferences and lifestyle choices. To me, HK remains one of the most vibrant, efficient, organised, convenient, diversified, compact … cities in the world. And most importantly, HK is a safe place compares to many others. I feel free and comfortable with walking around the city alone at any time of the day. Feeling privileged and am grateful that I can call this amazing place my home again. Thanks for sharing your HK experience! Travel safe! ❤
Totally agree! Nowhere is perfect it is more about the experience you have there. Safety is a big plus there aren't many cities where you feel safe walking around at night. Thanks for watching I can't wait to come back!
@@Nicofilms
Please do! I’ll take you to have some delicious dimsum. Btw, I am a cake addict and I have cake(s) everyday … I don’t know why it’s so difficult for you to find a piece of cake when there are cake shops everywhere over the city. 🤣
I am looking forward to coming back to Hong Kong it has loads of character, the beaches, and the old alongside the ultra modern, something for everyone love Hong Kong 🇭🇰.
@@dimsumyen4034 Amazing! I think we need to try more for sure! haha I have no idea why I guess we were just unlucky!
@@Nicofilms To be honest, I really don't know what kind of cakes you're looking for. There are bakery/cake shops at the Central & Sheung Wan districts too. Some of them are even very famous for locals & tourists to visit. If you cannot find a special cake shop for you, just go back to most of the MTR stations for which they've a bakery located in called Maxim's Cakes. Otherwise, you can find a Cha Chaan Teng (茶餐廳 HK style cafe) around 2:30 p.m. & so to try their fresh baked wherever there's a glass cabinet in front of the cafe to contain all the cakes/breads.
Hope next time you've checked more information beforehand so that you won't miss again.
Fyi, malls are everywhere in Hong Kong, we tend to go there for the toilets haha~
Hong Kong is a vibrant city that conducts traditional Chinese and western cultures. Food is amazing, almost no other places in the world can get various kinds of food like HK. Transportation is punctual, everywhere is easy to approach.
you can go from the first class World financial center to reach the country side for hiking within 1 hour or even under. There are over 200 islands in Hong Kong which you can enjoy the fresh air. But summer is a bit too hot and humid.
Use the toilets in the shopping malls. They are usaully clean and tidy.
def local tips, whenever you see a mall, pee first haha
thanks for coming! you are like a celebrity! enjoy !
Everytime I watch a travelling video about my hometown, it always surprises me how special and beautiful this city is. Never appreciate her enough for real.
it's crazy isn't it, I'm from HK as well but for some reason, I never get tired of watching these videos of HK, always bring good memories!
Thank you guys! As A Hongkonger who lived in HK & Canada both over 30yrs. I always visited HK periodically. I did'nt know HK has so many hidden gems. I'll visit HK later. This time I'll go through each corner of different districts just like u. Your video reminded us, we always neglect the most precious things and peoples around us. I'm happy that both of u enjoy and appreciate everythings in HK. Have A good trip!
food is absolutely good in Hong Kong! You can get any kind of cuisine here!
Jack, you are not alone. I know the saying "Want my cake!" too. And: "need a coffee" ....
You guys shoot so good. Even I as a Hongkonger seem to see this city from another refreshing view which I have never seen. Keep up the good work. I think I will watch more previous clips.
The editing on your Hong Kong videos is next level! We loved them.
❤ Hong Kong! Foodies paradise!
I was in Hong Kong yesterday. Over 29,000 steps. All up the top end though, near to Shenzhen. Thanks for the HK facts.
So easy to clock up the steps it is a great city to walk!
Welcome to Hong Kong. I am very proud to call this incredible place home. Enjoy your stay!
Are you counting down to the end of the basic law lol
@@VisulC Article 23 is exactly what is required in the basic law, if you are literate. Ignorance is not a blessing, and indeed can be the source of embarrassment!
@@hongkongchina2048 first of all I did not mention anything about article 23, I’m not sure who’s the one illiterate here. Also, article 45 of the basic law states the chief executive should be chosen by universal suffrage, last time I checked it isn’t. So dont start with me. Lol
@@VisulC Those geniuses (currently in jail awaiting trials and sentences) turned it down in 2014! Do not attempt to be clever with me!
You are obviously one of those geniuses!
Clearly, you are showing disloyalty to your friends who are in jail, while you remain free.
Are you awaiting the trials?
Otherwise, why are you not in jail?
When they have friends like you, they don’t need enemies! 😝
@@hongkongchina2049 Couldn’t you just reply me? What you’re saying has nothing to do with my comment lol is that all you can do
welcome to Hong Kong❤🎉
This video made me realize that Hong Kong is such a vibe! 😊❤ loving the street art, antique stores, and that ferry and tram ride! ❤ thanks again for this video about HK. 😊
Love Jack’s photography (cinematography) ❤
Your vlogs are entertaining and helpful for me in learning authentic English language usage.😊
I like this video. Having 2 hosts in a video make it more fun. It's amusing to hear Jack call you Wifey.
I love the idea at the end u mention. I can’t wait to see hk in this creative and special way. Tram in hk island, cable car to Ngong Ping see Buddha, bus from Tung chung to Lantau island with beautiful mountains views…gogogo!!!
I can’t believe you guys relied on 711, Hong Kong is famous for its food culture and diversity. You guys definitely need a tour guide.
Hong Kong is cheapest most efficient way to pack everything into a tiny city. Ding ding is the cheapest transportation in Hong Kong. Surprised you couldn't find a cake shop. I think they should have a lot of them on the Hong Kong side or near Tsim Sha Tsui.
The nature of HK will also blow you away! Consider going hiking in HK next time in places like Tai Mo Shan, Sai Kung, the outlying islands, etc.
Thanks for visiting HK
You shoulda order the iced milk tea instead! That's their specialty drink!
lot more to see in the old districts, more artistic
It is an interesting place to visit, unique in its own way, with a mélange of the West and the East. However, if you want to settle down there and the idea of buying an apartment ever crosses your mind, the price of the property will wipe out all the cool things.
Great content!
fantastic beautiful city!
@10:55 Hong Kong suffers from inconsistent romanisation usage, even in official signage and documentation. The public signage usually comes from 2-3 different schools of thought. For English speakers, the closest actual Cantonese pronunciation is approximately "zee" or "zi," with a very sharp Germanic "z." A more distant or lazy approximation would be "jee."
In Hong Kong's romanisation, the same word can be seen romanised as "Chi," "Chee," depending on who originally documented it for the government. There have been more thorough and consistent romanisation systems for Cantonese as used in academic circles (such as Yale and Jyutping), but Hong Kong's government has not deviated from its own vague and frequently inaccurate system with murky origins.

Thanks for the amazing videos! We've planned most of our time in Beijing and Shanghai based on your work ❤
Thanks so much! Hope you have a fantastic trip!
Rather than searching for public toilets, which aren't always great, I think people tend to pop into malls or shopping centres. Clean and well maintained toilets there. 🚽 Lots of them! 🤓
I guess I was rather spoilt with the many available in Beijing haha there weren't really many malls around where we were the day before but it is always a good backup!
😂😂😂 Yeah! Anyways - I like the style you guys have, and a nice script! You still discovered cool areas of Hong Kong! 👏👏👏 Sorry you didn't get a cake! #bakehouse!!!
If you like cake you should try egg tart. It's always availble in local restaurants and you can just buy take outs.
Peak tram is one of the trams to try.
There are lots of local bakery for the wifey cafe obsession 😊
I have been there once and loved the food. Especially Dimsun.
The cinematography is very good!
although I always complain about Hong Kong, indeed, it is quite cool to some extent, which we cannot deny
So great keep it up
Interesting alleys!
Nice. Thankyou
Welcome to Hong Kong, Jack & Nico ... :)
Thanks a lot!
great stuff
ah, valparaíso mention 🥰 as a chilean in love with both cities this warms my heart. love the vlog
Thanks! We spent 3 months in Chile and loved it!
@@Nicofilms brilliant! come back whenever you like
Cool street temple.
The first footage was at my daily lunch walk before got my office building behind you. How did I miss you guys?
Yesss
bg music very important that makes all the things positive
Sheung Wan is the coolest place in HK! welcome to HK! 😂😂😂❤🎉
Oooh thanks for the tip! I will add it to the list for next time.
❤❤❤❤❤
Would it be possible to watch this video without filters and in 4K? I loved your video by the way. Hong Kong is my favorite city.
like your video. Welcome to Hong Kong. Try "this this rice" lunch box. You can choose a lot of hk food in smaller amount at cheaper price
Music does change all perceptions instantaneously
Welcome to HK!
Welcome Article 23 !😂😂😂
@@gap949we do welcome article 23 and security law.
You, on the other hand, are not….!
@@hongkongchina2048 You....are the minority !
@@gap949definitely not! We welcome safety and security!
Do you like violence?
P.S. Do you know how many people here enjoy going to China over holidays!
What did you smoke? 😂
@hongkongchina2049 Hong Kong is China ! Don't smoke ...do you ? Hahahahaaaa !
Now go collect your 0.50 cents !
Jack experiences the beanstalk up close 😂
The park is pronounced as "Bak Ji Lei Gung Yuen"
"Cool" is subjective but I genuinely don't think so. Fascinating city nonetheless.
would love to go in HK to find new friends and enjoying the vibes
Try the minibus next time~ get the red minibus and ready to experience the fast & furious😂
We will add it to the infrastructure video we might make haha
great traveling
Hong kong Island & Tsim sha tsui all have zoological and Botanical Gardens in Central .
it was
Please do come back to Hong Kong again!!
I really hope we get the chance!
other than the hong kong island, there are many other areas which are worth you to visit, e.g. Sai Kung, mountain walk out there, magnificient view from the top, and the western side of the New Territories, explore more non-tourist areas, it's safe in Hong Kong, people in general are rich, no worry at all.
Next time you should try cha chaan tengs 茶餐廳 & Siu Mei 燒味（roast goose, crispy skin pork, Cha Siu…), and many many street food （HK curry fish ball 咖哩魚蛋，Waffles雞蛋仔⋯）
Dough Bros got a lot of good pizzas and am amazed u didn't find a cake shop as HK is loaded with dessert and cake shops!!
I know I was honestly gutted!
❤❤❤
11:00 you almost got it, it is a perfect 'Ts' in the second try.
For the 'z', you can pronounce it as 'c'.
Best country in Asia easily. View from me in Singapore.
I suggest go to Hong Kong natural, that is amazing！
Hong Kong shopping centers are offering free parking now because theyre losing customers to Shenzhen markets and public spaces 🤣. Awesome video though, going to China this summer super excited!
Yeah I heard a lot of people are going to Shenzhen as it is cheaper. Amazing! hope you have a great time.
Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery. You can get the Metro there and then walk about 10.mins from the station..when you Google.it, you'll want to high tail there. Not your average temple!
Oooh thanks! We will save it for next time!
Jack's wearing socks and sandals? He dresses like a German🤣
Hong Kong as they say rocks.
one of best chinese city
No, it’s very hot 😮
HK is considered to be that shady cousin that you see once in a blue moon.
The first market you showed is called the Western Market located in Sheung Wan and it has no restaurants in there😂 it’s just a few small shops and the whole 2nd floor is taken by a fabric shop. Did you guys go inside to look or you just assumed or purposely giving out misinformation?
The pronunciation of "Tsz" is similar to "Chi" 😙
Thanks!
HongKong and Singapore , they all inside the British Empire during the History for a Long time
Why the British love these Tiny cities in Asia ( because they were faraway from the UK homelands in the 19 century )
but Churchill lost all of them after Pearl 1941 during the WW2
Is this Asia’s coolest city?
No taxi, they may deceive you to earn extra fare
How much mandarin/ Cantonese do you guys speak
不談論新香港。Now we don't talk about Hong Kong.
Are you saying “15 years ago”? Yes!
Shopping for luxury brands was super cheap in HK. Now, no one goes there.
The best food is in Japan for sure.
Tsz pronounces as zhi
“Distinct lack of public toilets in this city.”
You must be walking around with your eyes closed. Plenty of public toilets in most parks, shopping malls, markets, community centres, MTR stations etc.
I’m guessing you’ve never been to San Francisco or NYC. All the public toilets are “closed” because they have been claimed by the homeless.
wow got mandarin sub😂
If I meet all of you, I buy you all lunch and dinner
Overhead wires? In HK? No, that came straight out of your imagination, or else you are thinking of India, maybe. In HK, all of the services are buried. There are no overhead wires. None. You could prove me wrong by filming some on your next visit, but I bet you can't.
Would be better without the comm......
You get paid a lot😂
Hong Kong writing language is not simplified form . 😅
Hong Kong was the coolest city before June 30 1997.Since the recent consolidation of article 23 on freedom of speech and assembly more and more people are fleeing Hong Kong for good.
Hong Kong is really a fantastic place!!! Highly developed and prosperous❤❤
I like Beijing or Chengdu more
Why Beijing?
Wellcome Article 23
Tokyo is better tbh
Not any longer.
Been to Hong Kong, would never go back. Boring city, rude people, dirty streets.
do you mean mainland China? I've lived in hk for 10.5 months no rudeness or any signs of it? dirty toilet yes
No. Chongqing is the coolest
