    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 ;)

    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!

    • @YellowProductions
      @YellowProductions  7 месяцев назад

      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.

    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.

    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!
