I'm in HK now on day 5 of 7 of a seven day trip. I think this video is a great introduction to some travel tips there. As a westerner, the sitting with strangers was the most unexpected thing. I went with a HK friend to a busy restaurant and it was a bit strange to me that she immediately sat at a table where there were already a bunch of people there. This however only seemed to be the case at the more inexpensive places where locals eat as other places didn't seem to be a issue.
hey ed :D thanks - glad this could be of some help.. yes that was something we experience too :D haha, but once you are used to it :D its like normal hehe
Approved by a Hong Konger here ✔️✔️✔️Completely nailed it with the tissues and whenever I go back to HK I always find it troublesome if I don't have a pack with me 😂 But I will say the good food in HK is scattered pretty much everywhere in the city, but there are definitely more options available in Mongkok and Central 👍🏼
Hey guys! Great tips there, love the detailed informations you've provided. Not going to Hong Kong so soon, but definitely would be helpful on our planning if we're visiting there. Really nicely done, great job both of you!!
I am from Auckland, New Zealand , the first country I ever visited was Hong Kong. I LOVE HONG KONG, I LOVE THAT PLACE , Enjoy it, love every minute of it , Hong Kong is amazing !!The people of HK are so lovely and kind , I wanna go back there as soon as I can
Yo Nick! Really great informative video man. Nice work! So many handy tips. Will definitely need to refer to this the next time Yen and I head to Hong Kong. Looking forward to more Travel Tip Tuesdays from you guys 😉👍
Awesome vid Nick! Love the idea of Travel Tips Tuesday and I found it very helpful. Make sure to do more of this =) PS. The food looks A M A Z I N G in HK!! yummo! 🤤🤤🤤
Great video guys, I will keep all of this in mind if I ever get the chance to visit Hong Kong. 😃 I'm really enjoying the Travel Tips Tuesday videos-they're so insightful!
Hey Nick, really good tips! We haven't visited Hong Kong yet so your tips are good for when we visit, im sure your tips will be the same for when we decide to go!
Great tips you two!! Awesome to know if I make a trip to Hong Kong. It's funny how it's common to share tables there 😅😅 I got asked to share a table with someone at a restaurant one time while I was on my lunch break, but I wasn't comfortable at all. I don't think I can do that all the time 🤣🤣
Great video guys! especially the octopus card! we made a tourist error and paid extra for the key ring one, go for the normal sized one i reckon! easier to carry in your wallet/purse
really i didnt even know about the keyring one 😆 - oh yes the card can fit in your wallet usually i just place my wallet on the reader dont really need to take it out haha
Had to click straight away 😉Awesome tips guys! All great advice 👍 I didn’t know about the octopus card. This would have been useful on our last trip. Maybe they didn’t have them back then though. We got the tissues covered. Well baby wipes. They come in handy all the time. I’m going to check out Klook. Haven’t heard of this either. I find it’s rarely a better option to change money in Australia. I almost always just use atms where ever we go.
Hehe thanks guys! :D - yes baby wipes are good alternatives haha! - Klook works for a lot of places in asia.. even places like disneyland they give you priority queue @_@ - i didnt know about this till recently too! yes! atms is the way to go! good thing we got citibank haha! :D, there use to be the 28 degrees card, not anymore i think..
Number 6 is the real mvp tip Also lol Chung king mansion is not for the faint of heart. Good exchange rates yes and actually well worth experiencing, but don't get scammed or taken for a ride.
thansk Em and Cece :D - hope your move to korea will be smooth, we wanted to head down there this dec, but i guess wont be this year! - we wanted to do guides there as well as well a series of food episode! :D maybe next time you can show us around and collab yea.. i see you are in thailand atm? or at least the throwback is :P?
Great tips guys - especially the apps! Just a couple of things I thought I'd mention - one doesn't "read Mandarin or Cantonese". Chinese characters are written and can be read regardless of dialect spoken. Also, not sure why you mentioned Chungking Mansion if it is a "shady" place. Sounds like a place one could get robbed/scammed!
Mark Lyn thanks mark :) yea you are right 😀🙏, will note for future reference hehe, chungkin mansion was def a place referred by a few of our local friend, its a great place to exchange money but the area are reviewed quite low amongst many travelers 😅
Nick do a review on how to go to China from hongkong by land (train)...guangzhou shenzhen up to shanghai beijing would be nice :) Good stuff on the hongkong review mate
brix boras we have another video for best things to do and eat in hongkong :), but as to where to stay it really depends what you want to do, we like to stay on the kowloon side because its near to all the markets that we want to go to. What do you like to do
Octopus Card is a must It makes yr tour far easier Basically u get use Octopus to make transactions in an awful lot of places, except for traditional stores and street food and Chinese restaurants
Hey guys thanks for all the tips 😀 we are going to be in Hong Kong in September so will definitely be using these tips! Were there plenty of ATMs around the city? We struggled in some parts of mainland China to find ATMs eeeekkk! What was the best thing you guys did there?
hey thanks sally and ed :D - hope you guys enjoy your trip to Hong Kong, yes there were decent amount of atm - although can be difficult to find - but usually in major areas like central/ mongkok its fairly easy to find them (generally google map can also tell you the nearest atm) - the only problem is if it accepts overseas card or not, as some may only do local - thats the only downside. The best thing we did was went on a day trip to Macau - that was quite interesting, only went for half a day but did quite a lot - unfortunately during our trip (if you see our other hong kong guides, it was raining most of the time, so we were mainly food hunting :) ) - make sure you vlog your adventure looking forward to see that!
Thanks for the Macau tip - I didn't realise you could do a day trip. That's really good to know. Definitely on the list. That's such a shame about the weather. Haha, nothing wrong with a little food hunting! Almost sounds like our ideal way to spend the day 😂!
we ate street food most of the time so considerably cheap especially compared with sydney food hahaa.. but food can be expensive if you go to fancy restaurants :D same like hotel😊
恐龙 not that i am aware of :) i used to also live in singapore i know in singapore we do that to reserve seat 😂, but i guess it depends on the other person coming to your table haha
Shiela Marquez hi Shiela - yes octopus card is one per person, so you would need 3 in this case. - i am not sure if the 1 year old can get a free pass - assuming if you have strollers most likely wouldnt need to pay as you would enter and exit together (i would believe so) but for this may need to double check with the station staff. I have 3 other hongkong guides - food, what to do around hongkong and also macau day trip. Depends what you like to do - but hongkong has plenty things to do but mainly lots of food space there :) there is the buddha statue too. What do you guys generally like to do?
Hongkonger passing by: for kids under 12 years old there is a kid version octopus card (so you only pay half of the transportation fee) Also kids younger than 3 travel for free I believe 🤔 So in your case your 6yo kid can get the children octopus card and the 1yo should be fine (as s/he does not have his own card you may want to hold him on your hand when you go through the gate) Hope this helps!
Like Mike i guess it depends wether you like to shop big have a comfortable lifestyle - for us is about eating their local food that are delicious - so that falls into the more street food category, i think your most expensive cost is most likely accomodation. As for how much you need for 2 months i cant say for sure depends if you are travelling solo or not
very good tips guys i dont mind sharing the table but im a big boy like Arnold Swarzeneger i need room can sit on my lap ?haha no gst cool im gonna buy a new camera oh hotel i need a big bed
hahah! well david that can be a problem! but then again can be no problem ! they may give you a whole table haha! 😂- yes camera is pretty good , but i also heard they upmark in certain hotspots just need to find the bargain legit place hehe
yeah ..Nick whole table for more protein and salads we ll sit on the floor beer from camel backpack and we re sweet :) like i do in Phuket cant wait this year im overloaded with work but all 4 good cause :0 cheers bro and hello to family ! Dave
Haha I needed these tipps 3 years ago. I was so overwhelmed when I visited HK but I loved it there! I need to check more videos of you, I miss the food SO MUCH! - really great tipps! Especially the tissue one, haha! I really like your energy ! subbed to you guys! Would be amazing if you visit my channel and say hi! Have a great day!
ummm I went there once with my friends and I feel safe. Don't let those people standing outside the mansion scared you, and once you "breakthrough" that "barrier" and walk inside, it's alright haha
I don't remember HK restaurants not providing tissues....but I did encounter that in Singapore.
I'm in HK now on day 5 of 7 of a seven day trip. I think this video is a great introduction to some travel tips there. As a westerner, the sitting with strangers was the most unexpected thing.

hi guys... what can you advise for the 1st timer travel to HK? what is the best itinerary for hk? what place in hk is the best to stay in hotel?
brix boras we have another video for best things to do and eat in hongkong :), but as to where to stay it really depends what you want to do, we like to stay on the kowloon side because its near to all the markets that we want to go to. What do you like to do
I smashed the bell button and now I need another screen for my phone...
Octopus Card is a must
It makes yr tour far easier
Basically u get use Octopus to make transactions in an awful lot of places, except for traditional stores and street food and Chinese restaurants
yes couldn't agree more alex - very useful card for paying stuff. lots of restaurants accept octopus card as way of payment, very convenient 😄
I'd love to visit Hong Kong one day.. and visit my teacher's teacher wing chun school there. Big thumbs up on this vid bro it was very interesting :)
thanks saf my man :D - when was the last time you were in HK?
Great tips frd😊😊😊😊new frd here😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Food and hotel is really expensive.... Just went there 4 months ago.
we ate street food most of the time so considerably cheap especially compared with sydney food hahaa.. but food can be expensive if you go to fancy restaurants :D same like hotel😊
good
thank you🙂
Yes tissues and klooks are great tips! Hihihi
it sure is 🤔, thats your advice haha
Welcome to Hong Kong
we love to go back again! :)
Is there any culture like Singapore put tissue to chop a seat at public area?
恐龙 not that i am aware of :) i used to also live in singapore i know in singapore we do that to reserve seat 😂, but i guess it depends on the other person coming to your table haha
@@nickandhelmi oh my god. To most people I spoke to, this is very uncivilized and bad culture.very unethical.
恐龙 ya thats true 😀, ive never done it though i only get the seats when i have my food 😆
Nice work I'm like your video
thanks so much albert😀
KLOOK + HK is 😍
we found good deals in klook lol not only for HK but other asian countries too :)
@@nickandhelmi true, and get extra discount with coupon (usally for first order). I have multiple klook accounts because of that 😓😁
Haha thats a good idea
Please do a travel tip for Singapore
hey J - thanks for the input we certainly have singapore and other south east asia country in mind :D - we will certainly do a follow up!
Please do so. Looking forward for that vlog. Have a safe trip there guys!

thanks :D - we are glad you enjoy this travel guide! and others too :D thanks J! we shall do the singapore soon :D hehe @@jvgonzaga90
Is it one octopus card per person? I will be travelling in HK with my 2 kids. One is 6 years old and youngest is 1 years old. Any more tips?
Shiela Marquez hi Shiela - yes octopus card is one per person, so you would need 3 in this case. - i am not sure if the 1 year old can get a free pass - assuming if you have strollers most likely wouldnt need to pay as you would enter and exit together (i would believe so) but for this may need to double check with the station staff. I have 3 other hongkong guides - food, what to do around hongkong and also macau day trip.

Hongkonger passing by: for kids under 12 years old there is a kid version octopus card (so you only pay half of the transportation fee)

So in your case your 6yo kid can get the children octopus card and the 1yo should be fine (as s/he does not have his own card you may want to hold him on your hand when you go through the gate)
Hope this helps!
Erin oh thanks for more info for kids erin 😀🙏 always good to know more great info! Since we dont have kids yet hehe 😂
@@nickandhelmi I believe the staff in station will tell tourists when they're purchasing the cards 😂 so that shouldn't be a problem at all 😉
How much money is needed for 2 month stay?
Like Mike i guess it depends wether you like to shop big have a comfortable lifestyle - for us is about eating their local food that are delicious - so that falls into the more street food category, i think your most expensive cost is most likely accomodation.
As for how much you need for 2 months i cant say for sure depends if you are travelling solo or not
I live in Tseung Kwan O Finery Park
Do they still hold bloodsport there every year?
not sure
Nick and Helmi then maybe there might still be possibility. I need to watch since the Olympics are postponed.
i got to get myself there lol
yes yes , we need to get you there my man haha
What do you mean by quite shady place???
i got this advice from my friend who lives there, just need to be vigilant with surrounding😬😁
I live in Hong kong
nice ambrose, hope to visit HK again soon 😄
very good tips guys i dont mind sharing the table but im a big boy like Arnold Swarzeneger i need room can sit on my lap ?haha no gst cool im gonna buy a new camera oh hotel i need a big bed
hahah! well david that can be a problem! but then again can be no problem ! they may give you a whole table haha! 😂- yes camera is pretty good , but i also heard they upmark in certain hotspots just need to find the bargain legit place hehe

I liver in Fanling Hong Kong
Hi Shan😁 hope our things to know for first timer to HK are quite spot on hehe😊
Do we still need to get visa to travel to Hong Kong or we can already book flights without it?
Hi Jovelyn, it depends which passport you are holding. If you're holding Australian passport, there is no visa for 90 days :)
Haha I needed these tipps 3 years ago. I was so overwhelmed when I visited HK but I loved it there! I need to check more videos of you, I miss the food SO MUCH! - really great tipps!
