I like how conversational your delivery is. Makes the viewer feels like talking to a friend who recently went to hongkong. Not pretentious. Great vlog!!!!!
Your videos are the ultimate best. I have watched you do 3 countries so far...love your content...and your little girl is adorable too. You are a great poppa.
Your videos are very fun and informative! I first discovered your channel after watching your Japan travel tips, since I will be going this Spring! ^^ I subscribed after watching the Vegas ones, cause I love Vegas LOL. Your videos remind me of Andrew Zimmern's style! You deff deserve more subscribers! I notice a lot of the research and effort you put into them.
Actually most H.K. people understand Mandarin and they can speak it quite well with or even without accent. But people who H.K. people who were born and raised there are proud of being Cantonese speakers (comparing themselves to those people who move to H.K. from Mainland China) They would prefer you speak to them in English other than Mandarin if you don't know any Cantonese ;)
Cantonese and English are both very welcomed 🤘. As a local, I am very proud of my Cantonese. Mandarin is not our mother tougue and are mainly spoken by new immigrants.
I am from HK. Local school did not teach Mandarin before 1997, they can understand Mandarin but cannot speak well, people who born after 2000s have mandarin class since their primary school, normally they can listen and speak Mandarin well.
I love the Cantonese cuisine and the hustle and bustle of the high-rise-dominated metropolitan feel of Hong Kong, but I’m completely averse to the insufferable humidity. Thanks for the great video.
Your introduction is absolutely accurate and so funny 😆 , please don’t mention Hong Kong so many times 😂 We won’t miss that , besides a busy and noisy part in here , we got nice nature as well, seaside ....
I like what you did with tip #4! Those are some great tips! I'll keep these in mind in the future as I would like to check out Hong Kong in the future.
7:15 ..and then when you wanna get off, you get your Oyster card, just tap it when you get off. 🤣🤣 simple mistake that just make me smile. Great video tho’. Subs + like
Milk tea is special cuz they use a filter similar to a ladies stockings. With very small holes filtering all the impurities. The good descriptions by Nick we not very complete lol but anyway great video!
Which is a good hotel for stay during stop over & one which isn't very costly but absolutely neat & clean for stay of say 5/6 hours, with anytime check-in & check-out being allowed for refreshing etc.?
Hi Chris; I’ll be going to Bangkok in September 2024 transiting through Hong Kong. On my way back to LAX, I have a 14 hr over in Hong Kong. Am I able to leave the airport, explore the city for a few hours and come back? Are you familiar with any of that, in terms of having to take our luggage with us or if there’s a baggage service we can leave it with. Departing flight to LAX is at 8pm so I’m sure we’ll want to be back around 4pm so to get some lounge time in 😎 Thanks Chris!
Hi DelhiBelly -- the good news is HKG airport is a really short train ride in to the city center on the high speed airport train. If you're actually on a connecting flight you shouldn't have to pickup and recheck your bags. If you're 2 different carriers then check the carrier from HKG to LAX -- Some allow check in of luggage any time the same day.
I really needed this video since my trip to Hong Kong is next month. Hopefully the weather is very nice. The only thing I'm worried about is using public transportation since living in California I never used it before. Thank you for this video will share it with the rest of my group.👍
For American travelers, the advance airport baggage checkin in Central does not work for flights to the US. Alas, the luggage must be carried/dragged to the airport. This restriction is not a big deal unless you to check out from the hotel but have a night flight.
Hong Kong translate into "Fragrant Port". When I vacationed there, the tour guide said it got its name because it was famous for selling fragrancies/perfumes at one point in time. (I have not verified that info independently.)
This video about Hong kong is just great, as all yours. I was there in 1995, so it has changed a lot ... I hope to return soon. Though I want to discover Shanghai , will make a video of Shanghai ? By the way, you made me smile when you talked about the fish shop, and your hesitation to take the fish or not to the plane... :-) thanks for your videos they are very complete and I have a great time watching them, so thanks doubly¡¡¡ :-)
Taking the airport express (train) from airport to downtown actually isn't a good idea. It's pricey, boring, and probably won't take you directly to where you want to go. (Chances are, your hotel won't be located close to Tsing Yi, Kowloon or HK stations, which are not popular tourist districts) In fact, HK boasts a really good airbus service and network. By taking a bus, you save up to 60% (compare a $100 train ticket with a $40 bus fare from airport to Central) and it can probably take you directly to the doorstep of your hotel! Plus, you'll get to see the amazing views of the city and the magnificent Tsing Ma Bridge along the way (do remember to ride it on the upper deck), which is priceless!
That's good to know that English is still the second official language after Cantonese. So when I visit Hong Kong in the next year. I should be okay with speaking in English then? Although I have a Northern Ireland accent.
@@tfzoofss Thanks for the information. I will arrange for hotel to do some translations into Cantonese although I will try and practice to say "Yes, No, Please and Thank You and Sorry" in Cantonese as I like to make an effort and at least try and say a few words even if my ability is poor.
For those looking to travel. Cathay is pretty good and you can fly from US to HK direct but I like Eva airline a little better but you have to make a stop on the way. Eva was a little cleaner and i liked the food better. Cathay is getting pretty cramped in comparision so definitely go with premium econ.
5:18 The MTR didn't run the double-decker bus, they only run shuttle bus to/from MTR stations. Buses in Hong Kong are mainly run by CTB (Citybus), KMB (Kowloon Motor Bus) and NWFB(New World First Bus).

Really? Most friends of mine who live in HK can not speak Mandarin fluently. Please compare it with the the degree of speaking Cantonese and English
Cantonese and English are both very welcomed 🤘. As a local, I am very proud of my Cantonese.
Mandarin is not our mother tougue and are mainly spoken by new immigrants.

You are definitely wrong. We don’t speak Mandarin. And you may not be welcomed if you speak Mandarin to us.
Great Hong Kong Guide :D
I'm a HongKonger and I'm impressed :)
Thanks Yan!!!
I will be in HK in January 2024 during a cruise, for an overnight stay. Your video is being very helpul, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate the way you introduce a city that you start with its historical background.
Thanks Albert!
Love Hong Kong! Can’t wait to go back. It’s Vegas for us this year! Just as exciting.
HK is always fun! But so is Vegas!
Hi, I've been in Hong Kong, clear and fun description, i will get back again it's my favourite city in the world. Thanks nice video.
Thanks Jeanpaul!
I am a hongkonger. Cantonese is a language rather than a dialect. Except that, I found the information accurate and quite detailed in the video.
Thanks for the clarification
Great video. I’m heading to HK in 2 months . I appreciate the info. Very helpful
Awesome! Enjoy HK!
Planning to travel in HK. Thanks for the helpful guide

Also Hong Kong has many markets, if you want some fresh fruits, and you want some new clothes, come to Hong Kong, it has almost everything you want.

We checked our bags on United to the US from the Central Station city check in no problem
We were told about the restriction last June. Maybe that restriction has been loosened since then.
Awesome video. Big 👍
Thanks Ashlee
I love your helper friend and his son great English 👍😀
I pretty much like the red bean.😊
Mmm :)
One of the best and most interesting cities in the world.
I've recently just been and have uploaded 3 vlogs from it onto my channel
Great video......can you give some advice where exachange money? HAve there some small shop where is possible to have a good rate? Thanks.
I typically just withdraw HKD from the ATM at the airport.
Great sharing
Thanks Sinar!
I love it that he is wearing a lot of yellow, yellow is the color of the umbrella movement!
A good production.

World record! Woohoo!
Mr Wang 😂😂 so no one will miss this
He repeated HONG KONG 95 times in 21 minutes and 1 second
Did you really count? Impressive :)
Haha so cool

Welcome to HK again.
Does taxi drivers do not accept 20hkd bills? Do they only accept 500hkd-1000hkd bill?
