- Sunset drive in the Central district of Hong Kong focusing on the Lan Kwai Fong neighborhood famous for drinking, clubbing and dining. It has over 90 bars and nightclubs squeezed into a small area. Highly recommend visiting this area! Video starts on Hong Kong's Main Street (Des Voeux Rd Central/Queensway, Hennessy Road) know for its popular Ding Ding trams, continues up into the hills just below the Mid Levels, and focuses on narrow streets of the Lan Kwai Fong neighborhood. Enjoy! Location: goo.gl/maps/PkrKYYMFCbuuqtGz8
Hong Kong (香港), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR), is a special administrative region on the eastern side of the Pearl River estuary in southern China. With over 7.4 million people of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after Qing China ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860, and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The territory was transferred to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of "one country, two systems".
Originally a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, the territory has become one of the world's most significant financial centres and commercial ports. It is the world's tenth-largest exporter and ninth-largest importer, and its legal tender (the Hong Kong dollar) is the world's 13th-most traded currency. Hong Kong hosts the largest concentration of ultra high-net-worth individuals of any city in the world. Although the city has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, there is severe income inequality.
Hong Kong is a highly developed territory, ranking seventh on the UN Human Development Index. The city has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world and its residents have some of the longest life expectancies in the world. Over 90% of its population uses public transportation. Air pollution has resulted in a high level of atmospheric particulates in the city.

Central (中環) is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula.
As the central business district of Hong Kong, it is the area where many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Harbour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841, and continues to flourish and serve as the place of administration after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.

Lan Kwai Fong (often abbreviated as LKF) is a small square of streets in Central, Hong Kong. It is now a popular expatriate haunt in Hong Kong for drinking, clubbing and dining.

china styled old back alleys - british styled colonial buildings - new york styled commercial buildings - sci fic styled cyberpunk buildings
blended in 1 place!
The neon in the 90s was the peak
Unfortunately I was never able to see it like that in real life
Honestly that's why I hope Hong Kong stays autonomous instead of joining into china
Jake mace 5 essentials
China is where we all came from. I mean, everything IS made in China.
Your explanation superb bro
My most favorite city in the world. A city built in the center surrounded by nature.
One of my favorite parts about it. It feels like a jungle in some areas.
If you love cities surrounded by nature, you should visit Vancouver, BC, Canada! It's so lush with greenery and parks, and situated on a beautiful harbor, but it's central core is so vibrant and urban. One of my favorites, I would love to see Hong Kong eventually.
vancouver? haha
I think Hong kong is integrated with old and new. The very nice city.
They should have left the neon everywhere
Unfortunately I never got to see it like that in real life
Hongkong should be Independent.
Along with Taiwan, Tibet, Xingziang as they were illegally captured & their people are treated like slave in their own nation. 🏳️✊
I quite like it. In any European or American city any modern buildings are quite ugly.
Yeah, that is true. 😃👌👍
@@Peace-tl1ll Yes,but CCP disagree
My parents forced me to move to England this summer and I haven't been able to go home because of COVID-19 restrictions and I can't go home at Christmas either, this video helped me feel less homesick and I've watched it a lot of times. Thank you for making me feel like I was home again, it's been a while since I've been happy.
bless you i hope you are ok! Things are getting better eventually
@Conna Bizz tf are you on about?
Hong Kong is very organic and commercial - I love it. Total opposite of communism. I hope my country (America) goes back to its commercial roots and gains back some of the spirit I see here in Hong Kong - but a very special place - there will never be anything like it.
Why would you leave a place like Homg Kong and go to England?😶
@@ameermoaviakhan4277 IDK maybe they want to keep their organs inside their body and not be a number in the next CCP genocide?
Freedom and progress for Hong Kong 🇭🇰🇧🇷
You can help them if all Brazilian go back to Europe or Africa
@@hitsugayatoshiro9517 now it's so late.
Give freedom to the native Americans of Brazil
I feel the streets of Hong Kong are like scenes in a movie.
Thank you for the nice road trip 🙏
I was thinking that! So small and tight. :)
He should made a video about movie scenes
Cyberpunk movie
Hong Kong did produce a lot local movies. Plus, many sci-fi films take inspiration when designing some of their streets from Hong Kong.
That's the most unique city I've ever seen.
I dont know how well you can sense it through video but the elevation change is hard to believe. Similar to San Francisco but the slopes seem steeper. Like midtown Manhattan on the side of a steep hill.
@@jutah Hong Kong is like San Francisco on steroids, when it comes to the hills. Other than that, it's a 💎gem of a city all its own.
I’m from hk lol
Why
@@rodolfotsang4327
Because usually cities with a lot of skyscrapers are flat. And those cities that are hilly have very few skyscrapers. This city is basically only skyscrapers built on steep hills. At the same time the streets are so narrow so you almost can't see the sky, which is also a rare thing in big cities, cause most big cities have wide streets to accomodate traffic. I don't think you will find any city in the world similar to Hong Kong.
近未来的なのに懐かしくて素朴な横顔をふっと覗かせるような不思議な世界。
理想の場所だと思う、それが香港。
For those folks have never been in Hong Kong. It is really a good city to check, to sense the atmosphere of the place. I guarantee you will love the place. The video shown here, is true and recent, can't tell you exactly how much good time that I have spent in this lovely home city.
Welcome to Hong Kong.
Love the old and new in Hong Kong also love the neon lights. Give it a relaxing non depressing full of life feeling. One of my favourites places in the world, love Hong Kong
HK is a fusion of the west and east. You can see all the British elements, old HK and modern just fused together in a densely populated city. Fascinating.
Which elements are british elements in the video? The sikh guy?
@@OutNaBoutYallahBiNa the road sign
@@OutNaBoutYallahBiNa the double-decker buses and trams.
@@OutNaBoutYallahBiNa holy kek
British elements in Hong Kong are not far from the British colonialism that was carried out in Hong Kong for many years.
Beautiful Hong Kong greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶
Cheers!
J Utah please can you drive in anchorage Alaska
شكرا .
Wish God could bless this beautiful city that now suffering the biggest tragedy ever....我愛香港,香港加油
Are you a resident? Curious to hear how the average resident feels about the situation.
No,I'm from Taiwan and we (some of Taiwanese) are particularly worried and concern about our neighbor's situation cuz we are threatened by the same political power.
范顥融 too bad for you. I hope the communist not make a mess at Taiwan. My country, Malaysia 🇲🇾 really love the Taiwan. Have a lot of Taiwan tourism ads have been shown on tv. I wish I can visiting Taiwan someday 😃
表达对香港美好的向往跟是不是中国人无关,我们尊重你的制度才会一国两制,而台湾台独屡次威胁大陆,反倒说别人威胁你们。要不要那么矫情??颠倒是非你们是有一套啊。现在知道威胁了?早干嘛去了。。谁让你们台独乱的?不乱会有这事儿??
@@user-kn8mi7we5m 你腦袋進水了。
Wow. Hong Kong ! You are awesome J Utah. I can now tour Hong Kong sitting in my room,like I toured USA,France and UK. All because of you. Thank You. Keep up the good work !
Thanks Siddeo! I've got some good ones on the way. Excited about the Tokyo videos. Very smooth streets and had a quality SUV. Got great 4K 60FPS video too!
Tango Zulu we all know that, the protest, but now things are a little calm
Hong Kong looks like a western city...!!! even its traffic signs are in english too...!!!!
Great video ...thanks !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The signs are British 💯👍
English is even on top of Chinese on the traffic signs😂
@@amosfu345 That's what you see first? From my local perspective, I feel like English text is so small that it's not possible to read from far
@@li_tsz_fung The traffic sign standard of Hong Kong follows the UK's.
Always happy to be on a drive with you. Thank you so much.
I lived in this city for 90% of my life, why am I watching this.
So..are you still staying there now? HK has been my long time list to visit....is it save to travel now?
@@Rndi9157 I mostly live in Australia but I just came back to HK yesterday. The violence has stopped for a while since HK is having its district council election right now. However if you go to famous tourist spots such as mong kok you will notice every single street light and road is brokem. All Tourist is basically gone as well so streets are not as crowed as it used to be. Honestly it is sad to see that what hk has become today.
@@kimlau4285 OIC...I wish HK will be back to normal soon...and can visit oneday..:)
Because you know 10% is end their 😂
Becoz u r duffer 😂😂
I loved this view 7:14 - 8:28 I already dreamed of this city of big buildings that looks like it was built on a mountain, beaultiful 🇧🇷
Very unique in terms of city skylines. I've never seen anything like it.
Se você estiver no miolo de Hong Kong...
Não saberá se é dia 🌞 ou noite 🌙 .
Deve ser sufocante olhar pra cima e mal conseguir visualizar o céu.
Sim isto é assustador
Acho que esse foi o lugar mais difícil para dirigir que vc já visitou.
I was wondering where you've been lately and you didn't disappoint with this one. I've never seen Hong Kong this close up before. Thanks for taking us around.
Good to hear from you as always Chris. Got a lot of video coming soon!
Sounds good.
This feels so relaxing and satisfying to watch❤️
Can’t wait to see Germany and Switzerland !
First Germany, then Switzerland.
@Volkstribun Wow. Thank you so much. Let's go hug.)
Cant wait to sera Morroco 🇲🇦
Casablanca
RabaT-Salé
Marrakech
Tanger
Agadir

@@scriptkiddie5790 Switzerland is gorgeous!!
Both places are worth to travel. German and Swiss food, wine are the best in the world. Shopping can not be missed: don't not worry about fake products and prices. One can spend $100,000 in ten minutes at Bahnhofstrasse (2.5 km long) in Zuerich, Switzerland.
I just wanted to say that I love your videos, I really look forward to them!!
Its an honor. Glad you enjoy them!
Great quality video, thanks. Lots of memories, as we lived in three different places you pass by.
one of my favorites so far on your channel.
It is beautiful city, definitely one of the most beautiful city in the world
thank you for visiting my city.
Hong Kong is a tiny city with population of 7.5million, which is comparable to the state of washington
kenlau135 No, Hong Kong is a big city.
Chor Tim Ko no.hk is tiny due to its mountainous landscape. I mean the city of hong kong is small, which is kowloon and hong kong island.
No matter if it big or small, hong kong is a beautiful country and clean
@@rodolfotsang4327 Not any more. It's like Iraq now lol
@@rodolfotsang4327 Excuse me? Isn't Hong Kong an SAR?
Great look at Hong Kong. Amazing place!!
Wow thanks for showing us the big cities! Impressive
Glad you enjoy the videos!
Beautiful city indeed. I see Europeans and Chinese in one environment. That's awesome. I will visit Hong Kong. high scape i never imagined in this world. 100% like.
but seriously, its normal in hong kong and many other cities in the world until trump be the president
Inside in this buildings the people lives mostly at cages.
Sweet memories 😇 I have been there in November, 2011. Pretty interesting place to visit.
Nice ride. Thanks a lot. I love Hong Kong.
the dense feeling of the building makes me felt like i was with you driving all along
thanks for the view
God bless you for these drives
Thanks Hamza! Glad you enjoy them.
Hong Kong drive! So cooooool!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for such a great video. It's really like being there!
Had fun watching ! Big like 👍 Thank you for sharing
Hong Kong extremely beautiful
Love it!
Shanghai more better than Hk
Si Filey Italy is great but it doesn’t compare in the advanced architecture level whatsoever.

Hongkong is a Beautiful and famous country . Thanks for sharing
I'm very happy! Asiatic cities are amazing!
Amazing vlogging of touring Hong Kong!
Nice job man. Keep it this way!
Hong Kong looks absolutely beautiful 😊💯👌🏻
The real impressive part is the skyscrapers. They are EVERYWHERE! The city has 355 skyscrapers with 40 or more stories and has more than any city the the world.
@@jutah it also shows how overpopulated this place is. I grew up in a 700sq ft apartment with a family of 5
@@robay3398 Any flat bigger than 500sqr2 is low key large space in Hong Kong
@@li_tsz_fung And what's sad is that a wage that's 100000 HKD (12000 USD) is considered "middle class" not even enough to buy a flat.
Not anymore unfortunately and it’s no longer safe here too. Starting to turn into New York City.
amazing city
Thank you very much beautiful picture, 😍 very nice 👍"
Hong Kong the city of my dream! Can't wait to see you again!
your dream became a nightmare
im not so sure hong kong is too great of a city anymore, as a LOT of cities around the globe
As always another fabulous video, your videos are the best 😊👌🏻
Thanks Shariq!
Wow this is incredible
Glad you like it!
Always find it very interesting how when I see things from other people's perspective, even home feels exotic and strange.
Beautiful Hong Kong Video. Thank you for sharing. New fan from Toronto Canada.
I m from PERU 🇵🇪 i Love Hong Kong is beautiful places
I wish I could travel the world
It is over rated. It's not what it used to be for me! I hope that helps.
Flying sucks
Once your there though it’s amazing
Hong Kong is meh
Japan and Shenzhen were awesome
@@Kimjongun19841 Shenzhen is hell if you don't own a car.
I must say this is a pretty nice city! I love the modern cyberpunk atmosphere!
Thank you so much Brother for your efforts to shows us the real picture 8 really appreciate

Hongkong is the beautiful city wow nice city & nice video yaar👌👌
Great video. Missing HK during the pandemic!
Lovely.......greetings from India 🇮🇳
I love beautiful Hong Kong. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. 👍
Thanks for the feedback!
I miss HK & what a great video! (Unfortunately HK will never look the same from now on.) Plus, I would be very frustrated if I was driving behind you as you were driving too slow🤣
J Utah, your videos are fantastic. I try to make some videos similar to the ones you make, but I've only been doing the places I know and live (Curitiba - Brazil). Could you tell me how you do recording without getting lost in places you don't know? Do you use a GPS application that allows you to plan the route in advance to follow this route and not get lost?
What a beautiful place! These gardens on walls and roofs
Its impressive! All these high rises on a hillside in a jungle.
I loved it! So condensed. Reminds me of New York City kind of, but with more newer looking tall buildings. Interesting small side streets and very hilly. :)
And much safer, more people start going out after 9:00 pm
@@pierusa123 lol New York is open 24/7 too. There are people busking outside even in 3 AM.
@@jaehongsong4904 No. New York is sleepy compared to HK. Visit there and you'll see what I'm talking about.

It looks like chicago to me
It almost makes you forget about the protests. Amazing video!
Thank you! Yeah the protests are interesting. It was a weird vibe going to the airport. Police in riot gear guarding entrances. Felt like the start of a Hollywood action movie.
J Utah Interesting. Keep traveling, we love your videos! 💪🏻
The video quality is top-notch. Feels like I'm taking a free road trip around HK
Thanks for the feedback! That is my main goal!
@@jutah I've been watching a lot of your videos. It's great to see the world from your lens. I am broke to travel abroad, so I virtually travel the world by watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

Free HK! I really support you guys
HongKong is my favorite city in the world
❤Wow Amazing Video🙏

Very beautiful.
The best trips are definitely in the sunset !! Great Video
Something about the fleeting and quickly changing colors. Thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful work

Miss HK so much, love this
Looks So beautiful
I've been to Hong Kong like 6 time thanks to the USS Blue Ridge.
I always had a great time there. The mall on the bay is awesome.
👍👍
Excelente video🌟🌟
Thanks Jorge!
Hongkong is nice city and old hongkong movie is impressed me. very touched.
Kren sekali Hongkong kota yang sangat indah suasananya nyaman sekali
I know - and have walked through - many of the streets you’ve filmed here, and am looking forward to going back next year (I have strong feelings about the current protests, but don’t want to derail the comments here). HK is absolutely fascinating to photograph, but it’s a city of real extremes - I’ve never seen so many crazy expensive super sports cars in my life, each costing more than entire houses here, stuck crawling along at 5mph in the city Centre - and right beside them, destitute old people wandering down the street, picking up cardboard and other things to try and sell. We don’t see or have such wealth - and That degree of poverty - here. Looking forward to my next trip back to HK to shoot the city and architecture again, and thanks for the interesting video!
Great comment. I got that vibe regarding the inequality and feel strongly about it myself. Its a big reason I film these videos. Traveling the world is limited to such a small wealthy group of people. I see wealth accumulation as being a majority of "right place, right time" mixed with a lot of luck. Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers provides convincing evidence to this idea. So I love the fact that I'm able to help people with only an internet connection feel like they have travel. Thanks for the feedback. Keep in contact with your photography you film on your next trip!
Similar to New York in that way, the wealthy have every luxury they could possibly want at their fingertips, while the homeless beg for change along nearly every street.
go to thailand and see ultra expensive euro sports cars (lambos, ferraris,,) rolling through urban shanty towns, the contrasts are wild yeah
去香港超过十次,都依旧非常喜欢这种高度繁华的城市氛围同颇有浓厚生活气息的感觉
Very beautiful city😍..it looks similar to Singapore downtown
Same like newyork such a nice place see this vedio and get relaxtion i will appricate you for this vedio
This is what normal Hong Kong looks like, vibrant and beautiful, I hope that the chaos in Hong Kong can be stopped soon.
I agree. It’s a very different feeling than when I last visited a few years back!
i miss hong kong so much
Very particular atmosphere, at the cross between cultures. Those bells at 9:25 were so unexpected
HK my hometown 💕 always miss and love 🛫
You will have hard time driving in most parts of Mumbai. Only few posh areas of the rich are less crowded. Rest others are very crowded.After all it’s a city with 18 million people living in area of an island.
I get the sense that will be the case. Bangkok is similar. Lots of traffic all the time.
Mumbai is crap
Plsase tell me after you have uploaded all Hong Kong driving videos, I will suggest some good routes for you and you can do it if you come HK again :)
Btw taking buses is a really good choice travelling in Hong Kong because you can sit on the top (although it is slower) :D
I got a decent amount of videos! Would love to hear your suggestions. I can search my comments and will look for suggestions before filming a city. And yes, the bus sounds GREAT after all the driving I've been doing lately!
好懷念香港!真係好正
Wow my mind is blown. This is incredible
when I keep on
]seeing the taxi cabs you have there, I always like how the driver can actually open the rear doors to them while still in the drivers seat, that is something probably our cabs here will never have...LOL
Toyota Crown Comfort. It was produced until 2018. It was remodeled in 2019.
The style is changed to the shape like the British London taxi.
Shoot in streets of Switzerland next😍
That's the plan. Maybe a few US cities first.
Very nice city!😍🤩
