The place where you have dim sum is a very old area. Most of the buildings are more than 50 years. ( I know buildings in Europe are even older and look good😂 but Hong Kong is very humid which makes it look poor). To be honest, it's hard to renew all the buildings in a short time, because there is the heart of the city, and the price for acquisition is extremely high. The developers would prefer to choose locations outside the urban area, and you will find plenty of fancy residential buildings there.
Omg…. so many details in this video are so wrong about Hong Kong. Tea is a must for dim sum place. It is part of the traditional culture The bus doesn’t stop because you need to find the queue marking on the pavement for that particular bus route The buildings are old but not all buildings in Hong Kong look like that way. You should go to the fancier areas. You were in an old neighbourhood. Hong Kong rarely has earthquake so you don’t have to worry about that. It is the Victoria harbour not a river.
8:06 the bowl is for you to wash the tablewares, we always use the tea to wash then first, the water will pour into yhis bowl 8:47 the best steamed dim sum are no need to add extra sauce, because we want to taste the original flavor, but it is necessary for rice rolls
Welcome to hong kong Oliver !! ^^ The dirty bowl from the restaurant is actually used to clean the bowls as theres a practice to clean chopsticks / bowls / cups with tea beforehand and then throw the excess tea in the bowl~ also K11 Musea is a shopping mall/hotel XD I went there a while back and its a pretty new mall so yeah :) also omg the little hotel room is so cute what o-o So nice to see your vlog around the city :)
Oliver, in fact u should have asked help from those people passing by relating where u should go to take the right transportation vehicles or anything u don’t understand. Then u could have saved your time….
the jelly one dish is also my favorite food! it's one of a typical hometown cuisine for local people like me! it's called Chang Fen in Mandarin, literally means intestine-shape rice noodles😁😁
Welcome to HK, the video is pretty good but, wish vlogers like you do a bit more homework before & while you are in any country. It is a sea harbour between HK Island & Kowloon, its not a river. I guess you have old part/new parts, rich areas/ poorer area like anywhere in the world, don't look so shocked, I'm sure you have the same where you came from. K11 is a hotel/commercial bldg, the museum is in another bldg behind it. Anyway glad you had a good time.
Talking about housing, haha... those people with expensive cars don't live in these old buildings. The area where you had lunch is just an area for food/daily shoppings (not a residential area for mid-upper class people😅). Modern apartments all come with luxury clubhouses and swimming pools. A very big contrast to what you saw.
@@oliverdadema West Kowloon cultural park is the new tourist attraction. The habour view is stunning and you can visit palace museum and watch sunset at the evening.
Where you had dim sum is a very old area. Most of the people who live in that area are the elderly and low-income families, that's why you found the buildings there look dirty and old.
Even the appartments in those "dirty and old" buildings takes at least 2 million HK dollars (over a quarter million US Dollars). for like 150-200 square feet. In fact, it is almost impossible to find an appartment that costs less than 2 million HK dollars in this city, not even a tiny and dingy one. Vehicles in HK is just a fraction of cost of the real estates. Landlords/home owners in HK are super rich.
Where were u supposed to take the mini bus to? You perfectly walked past the entrance to the Nan Lian Gardens, one of most beautiful parks and nunnery right next to the bus stop!
10:35 Coffee is not expensive in the whole of China. Prices in Shanghai and Hong Kong are expensive, while in other cities, only coffee in boutique stores is expensive, and in ordinary places it does not exceed 17 yuan.
According to the RUclips algo, you may get lot more hit rates if you have a different title like "My first time in one of the most westernized region of China....". the keyword is China
You need to order a tea, because well, it's called "tea-drinking" (yum cha) for a reason. The original dim sum is a side snack to accompany the tea. Dim sum without Chinese tea would be akin to McVitie's without English tea: it would be soulless and bland.
10:39This is because in cities controlled by capitalist tycoons, people do not have the money or planning to renovate their old houses because everything based on houses, such as land, rent, and labor costs, is very expensive, and they are not subject to government planning!! People have to stay in this place or move out to cheaper places, such as Shenzhen or other cities in Guangdong Province, when buildings become old. Many Hong Kong public officials choose to move to Guangdong Province after retirement!
Sorry to tell you, but you really need to work on your Chinese subtitles; they don't really make sense~ if you need help I'm happy to freelance for you
Hong Kong has the largest income inequality in China, with 80% of the economy controlled by the richest ten families, while everyone else is worse off. The vast majority of Hong Kong residents live in cage-like small condo units, i'm talking about 300 square feet for a family of 3 or 4.
Watch a few video from this kid and conclude he is mostly nagging and ignorant. It's okay to not know an unfamiliar culture as opposite as Asia but please don't assume this and that based on your reference culture. Just simply ask your surrounding how this work...
You can't take the taxi when you see the road with single or double yellow line or bus stop.. and the plastic bowl is for washing your cup and chopstick. The old buliding you see in the city town cost more than 3 million. most poor people all living in the public housing but have better envoirment... vistoria harbour is a sea, not river. do not travel HK during the summer time, too hot for walking around. you seems not planning well before you travel.
I need to admit that, as Chinese , our artistic sense is far behind from European. May be we are poor in last 100 years and those building are built only focus on functionality instead of beauty. 😅
the ancient buildings are beyond compared with all he details.colors and carvings to any building from europe. They look ugly because the Chinese are trying to be what they are not, when the Chinese are prsperous, just watch out!!
A video perfectly showing what NOT to do in Hong Kong. Who the hell would queue up at a bus stop and wave for a GREEN MINIBUS to stop LOL That's stupidity. And the place is called Diamond HILL (not HALL), and the major bus stop was literally at the basement of Hollywood Plaza, as shown on Google Map. Things are expensive? Well, perhaps a bit more research before arrival would let you know that HK is the second most expensive cities in Asia (after S'pore), as the city currency is pegged to USD.
Hong Kong was originally part of Guang Dong province , since year of 1840 UK imvade Hong Kong and force Qing Denasity central governmemt in Beijing illegally rent Hong Kong to UK for 99 years ,In 1997, China regained control of Hong Kong and the British aggressors withdrew from Hong Kong

Welcome to Hong Kong!
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 🙏🏼😍🇭🇰
20:20 HAHAHA that's so funny
Oops 👀💀😂😂
That plastic bowl is for rinsing the chopstick and tea cup before eating dim sum
Ahhhh makes sense!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😍
you should come to Hong Kong in Autumn and winter I.e. from October to March, the weather can be cool and comfortable
beautiful Hong Kong 🇭🇰❤️
Yes, it’s a crazy city!! Stay tuned for the next vlogs 😍🇭🇰
Because you have longer legs than ordinary Hong Kong people, you move faster than them, so you feel they walk slowly😂
yes, hahaha!! It feels like I am running all the time 😂 Cute!!
Talking about housing, haha... those people with expensive cars don't live in these old buildings. The area where you had lunch is just an area for food/daily shoppings (not a residential area for mid-upper class people😅). Modern apartments all come with luxury clubhouses and swimming pools. A very big contrast to what you saw.
Ahhh makes sense! Yes, the contrast is huge in HK 👀
The waterside you go is not a river, it is the Victoria Harbour.
Yes, it looks like a river though 😂😬
Welcome to HK mate
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 😍🙏
Great video 🤩 KEEP ON!!!
Thanks for watching again 😍🙏
Welcome to HK, cheers
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 🙏🏼😍🤍
oliver, you were supposed to wash your wares using the tea and bowl. ahahah. you're so funny
Oh really?! hahaha, oh gosh 😬😬
Hong Kong has a population of 7 million and over 3 million companies, most of which are engaged in international business
Hong Kong is a harbour city. Outside Hong Kong is south china sea.
That's why its soooo beautiful 😍😍
Hong Kong was originally part of Guang Dong province before UK invade Hong Kong and illegally ocxupied it , now Hong Kong is a small city of China
@@oliverdadema West Kowloon cultural park is the new tourist attraction. The habour view is stunning and you can visit palace museum and watch sunset at the evening.
@@oliverdademaso it is not the river, it is the harbour.😅
it is first time to hear that Hong Kong people walk slowly😂
The dim sum yummy 😋 😋
You can cross the road through tunnel
Oh really?? I didn’t see that one 😅😂
those green mini bus, they have regular stops, and u were standing in the big bus stop, thats why they didnt stop for u
And I was waiving... omg 😂😂
Poor Oliver! Sad to see u wasting time to wait for those mini buses there😣😵💫😵💫😵💫
Where you had dim sum is a very old area. Most of the people who live in that area are the elderly and low-income families, that's why you found the buildings there look dirty and old.
Ahhh that's why! I was already wondering, haha. Thanks for watching! 😍🙏
Even the appartments in those "dirty and old" buildings takes at least 2 million HK dollars (over a quarter million US Dollars). for like 150-200 square feet.
In fact, it is almost impossible to find an appartment that costs less than 2 million HK dollars in this city, not even a tiny and dingy one. Vehicles in HK is just a fraction of cost of the real estates.
Landlords/home owners in HK are super rich.
Victoria Harbour is a sea, not a river
Yes, oopsie 😬😂
Welcome to HK❤😊
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 😍🙏
Where were u supposed to take the mini bus to? You perfectly walked past the entrance to the Nan Lian Gardens, one of most beautiful parks and nunnery right next to the bus stop!
Damn, I wrote it on my list for next time 😅 Thanks 🇭🇰🫶
Most coffee producing areas in China are in Yunnan! The natural scenery there is also very beautiful. You are welcome to visit Yunnan
Thanks for the suggestion! I wrote it on my list! 😍🙏
Welcome to Hong Kong❤
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 😍❤️🙏🏼
First time here, well.... nice tourist selfies anyway!
nice video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😍
I don’t get it, where were you heading from Diamond Hill station? The next scenes you were at Mok Kong East?
To the Lions Pavilion, but then the bus didn’t stop and I had to change my plans but forgot to properly record that decision 😅😅
10:35 Coffee is not expensive in the whole of China. Prices in Shanghai and Hong Kong are expensive, while in other cities, only coffee in boutique stores is expensive, and in ordinary places it does not exceed 17 yuan.
K11 is actually a fancy shopping mall not a museum lah 😂😂😂
Oh really? Hahaha, oh gosh 😬😂😜
You are go into old area, so the building are old, but do you know how much is it ? In HK, most around €1000-2000 sq ft
Damn that’s soo expensive 😂😱
K11 Musea is a Mall & Hotel. Not a museum.
According to the RUclips algo, you may get lot more hit rates if you have a different title like "My first time in one of the most westernized region of China....".
the keyword is China
Perfect idea, thanks!! 😍🙏
Let's try it :p
You need to order a tea, because well, it's called "tea-drinking" (yum cha) for a reason. The original dim sum is a side snack to accompany the tea. Dim sum without Chinese tea would be akin to McVitie's without English tea: it would be soulless and bland.
Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info and for watching of course 🙏😍
Hotels in Europe and North America are much expensive
Hahaha, Oliver, it is not river! It is the famous Victoria Harbour, sea water!
Now I know... it's really embarrassing hahaha. Oh well, I enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, more Hong Kong vlogs to come! 🙏😍
Strange! According to many media from the West, Hong Kong is supposed to be finished by now! Why is it still here? What happened?
I guess they are improving everything!
They do the same for China. They even give a date when it will collapse, but it never happens. Still, many people believe in the West's lies
I LIVE in Hong Kong😅

Normally bus in the city Hong Kong will come every 10 to 15 minutes
As a local resident living in Hong Kong
I’m sorry to tell you TimHoWan is one of the worst dim sum I’ve had
Whaaaaat??? What’s your fav place then? I will make note of it and go there next time 😳🇭🇰
Now many Hong Kong peoples go shoping in mainland China, cause cheap and the being treat well.
"people" is already in plural form. "peoples" is only necessary when you refer to distinct ethnic groups within the same region.
No offence.
yes haha, thanks for watching again!! 🙏🙏😍
Welcome to HongKong CHINA , we are very happy to see more people come to visit our amazing city 😊😎🫶🏻
Thank you!! And thanks for watching 🙏🏼😍🤍
afrer staying in Hong Kong one day ,you can back to china mainland again for.another 144 hours
Yes!! And I am coming back to China: in September I am going to Shanghai and Beijing to make new travel vlogs!! Stay tuned! 🫶🇨🇳😍
Sorry to tell you, but you really need to work on your Chinese subtitles; they don't really make sense~ if you need help I'm happy to freelance for you
I know, sorry! I am trying my best, but sometimes it’s completely off 🥲 Thanks for your offer though, and for watching of course 🫶

it is Victoria Harbour NOT a river! It is a sea !
The Dim Sum restaurants have different locations in HK. The place u went to was not appealing in the setting. Other places are much better!
What restaurant do you recommend? 👀
You can't take the taxi when you see the road with single or double yellow line or bus stop.. and the plastic bowl is for washing your cup and chopstick. The old buliding you see in the city town cost more than 3 million. most poor people all living in the public housing but have better envoirment... vistoria harbour is a sea, not river. do not travel HK during the summer time, too hot for walking around. you seems not planning well before you travel.
riverside 😂 It’s harbour (sea) side
the Chinese subtitles have too many mistakes.
Oh no 😅😅😅
I need to admit that, as Chinese , our artistic sense is far behind from European. May be we are poor in last 100 years and those building are built only focus on functionality instead of beauty. 😅
the ancient buildings are beyond compared with all he details.colors and carvings to any building from europe. They look ugly because the Chinese are trying to be what they are not, when the Chinese are prsperous, just watch out!!

That's also a comment yes.
Hong Kong looks so backwards compared to Shenzhen.. Who would imagine?!
I didn’t expect that either 😱
Go to Repulse bay for a swim, free
A video debunking western lies on China usually exceeds 10 hours long!!!🤣🤣🤣
Oh, I could easily make a video of over 10 hours, but I don’t think people will watch it 🤪
Hong Kong is not comparable to Shenzhen.
Hong Kong was originally part of Guang Dong province , since year of 1840 UK imvade Hong Kong and force Qing Denasity central governmemt in Beijing illegally rent Hong Kong to UK for 99 years ,In 1997, China regained control of Hong Kong and the British aggressors withdrew from Hong Kong
It is not the truth, Hong Kong Island and part of Kowloon peninsula were ceded after the war.
我建议你还是去中国大陆拍摄视频吧，弄一个长期的签证，香港的景点还是太少。而且很少人喜欢观看香港的视频。
Yes! It’s on the planning 👏🇨🇳😍
when do you go to Shanghai?I can take you to play in Shanghai
I hope soon, no plans yet 😓 I’ll keep my subscribers updated on my next China trip!
