You should absolutely visit the Buddha, just do it on a good weather day, it’s amazing. Also the Peak tram is really good & the views up there are amazing too. Just be careful of the wavy floor on the tram. I think it’s to stop things rolling backwards on the floor when going up the steep tracks. Have fun, we loved HK
Look, just nip out from wherever you're staying and begin walking in the streets in whatever direction looks interesting to you. Just keep walking and walking and walking and when you feel like it, hop onto a bus or tram or whatever that looks interesting to you. Keep looking around you all the time, at the shops, restaurants, things, people, absolutely everything around you. I guarantee you THAT is the authentic Hong Kong experience. I should know, I have pretty much been here all my life. Have a great time!
I was trying visit HK for few years as it's number 1 on my travel list but due to pandemic it was impossible. Now I'm motivated to finally see it this autumn, thanks for guidelines!
FYI the first few minutes of ‘Victoria Peak’ is not Victoria Peak but a bit of Lion Rock (it seems) and a bit of (Sheung Shui) as well a few pictures were of the wrong place which is a bit odd.
The first Disneyland opened in July 1955 & is located in Anaheim, California (USA). Next was Tokyo Disneyland opening in April 1983. Paris Disneyland was the third park to carry the Disneyland brand. HK Disneyland opened in September 2005 and was the 4th park to carry the Disneyland brand. Prior to major renovations, the Castle at HK Disneyland was a duplicate of one at California (Anaheim) Disneyland. The park is a joint venture between Hong Kong International Theme Parks Ldt (which the HK Government is a share holder) and The Walt Disney Company.
Disneyland in Anaheim, CA was first, but Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL opened second in 1971. Tokyo Disneyland was the first international park, followed by EuroDisney (now Disneyland Paris), Hong Kong Disneyland, and more recently Shanghai Disneyland. Every location, except Hong Kong and Shanghai, have at least one additional theme park as part of its resort.
Where as Walt Disney World in Orlando (Florida) was the second Disney series of parks to open, in 1971, none of these parks carry the Disneyland brand. There are currently only 5 parks in the world that carry the Disneyland Brand, 3 of these are located in the Asia.
I would recommend going to Cheng Chau island in hong kong !This island has tons of cool and special foods which is very cheap,for example the famous fishball shop !It is also very crowded on weekends so i recommend going on weekdays !Going there by boat only takes 1 hour from central !I stayed there for a few weeks .
Hey, the YT algorithm bring me to this video, as a Hong Kong, I definitely agree with your warning, also, the problem of taxi service is not only the traffic jam, it is also involved cheating and refusing passengers who want to take a short trip. Although Uber is not fully legal and expensive, the service seem better than taxi so that it is quite popular
Many pictures or videos do not match the location, and there is a Thai market that is not in HK. Not visiting HK Kong Island is BS, you miss a lot of interesting places.
Thanks for so many great ideas and information I will be there this January 21st as it will be a layover any suggestions should I go out and see the country or stay inside the airport since I will be arriving at 8:30 pm
Hong Kong Disneyland are near International Airport, also Tai Pak Beach, but by the time you arrive I don't know if it's worth it. They are activities to do during the day.
The peak is worth seeing plus there is more ways to get there other than the tram, as for the big Buddha l again have to disagree it’s one of the highlights in fact a must when you take the cable car the views are amazing well worth a visit
@@topthingstoknow83 thank you , yes I was aware it used to British colonised , however as they’ve taken back what belongs to them I was unsure if things had been changed etc , than you for you’re time 👍
@@Trystan46 yes, there are still the double Chinese and English references. English is still one of the two official languages of HK today, in addition to Chinese, of course 😉

What i love about Hong Kong is the the balance betwee the vibrant city and preserving the nature where people can truly enjoy

One of the greatest cities in the world - a major center for international business, arts, shopping, wining & dining, etc. etc.
Yeah I totally agree!!
Wow, incredible expose of the wonderful life of Hong Kong.

You're right that's Lion Rock. Worth to go as this is a convenient urban hiking spot with good views.

cheung chau island, please use cantonese translations
It's just Cheung Chau, no need to add Island. Cheung Chau translated into English is "Long Island"

We are trying to book for next year , can you tell me if there are signs in English etc under ground buses etc etc ??
Hong Kong was a British colony from 1841 to 1997 so you will find signs and signs in English practically everywhere

Seems delicious!!
Also do not tip at restaurants. I did it one time, the server chased me down and gave me back the tip😅
Thanks for your suggestion!!
I'm going in a couple of weeks. I plan to do none of these things🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure you'll still have fun, it's a beautiful city

oh wow, since when is macau part of hong kong?
It's not part of Hong Kong but it's very close, it would be a great idea taking a trip to Macau.
@@topthingstoknow83 then why include it?
Hello ..let me knw how to get to hongkong as job seeker
I guess you missed out Stanley Beach, correction Macau is not in Hong Kong.
Macau is an another country.
Thank you so much for yours clarifications!
Neither Macau nor Hong Kong are countries. Both are administrative regions of China.
Hong Kong & Macau are both Special Administrative Regions of the Peoples Republic of China
so you say visit the big buddha and then say do not visit the big buddha. so what is it? to see it or not?
There is an error, I am sorry for this. Yes to see absolutly.
