Hong Konger here :) I have to admit I'm pretty impressed because I didn't know some of these facts, but also I have to point out a mistake in fact number one. Hong Kong does mean 'fragrance harbour' in Chinese but that's because a long time ago Hong Kong used to be a ship port for wood, and that type of wood gives off a fragrance smell, not because the water is sweet or anything. :)

The weather is good, not too cold in winter but temperature in summer can be reached to 35 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature in winter is around 10-12 degrees Celsius.
Yes, I am a Hong Konger. Metro and bus are the main transport. The metro is really reliable and the carriers are clean. I had been to NY last year. The metro is a bit old and some places are smelly.
Hong Kong is not the most expensive place to live I've lived there and I found it much cheaper than most 1st world cities. Of course if you live like a tourist it's expensive. But food and transport is very affordable. Rent is high, but you can find reasonable places. I used to live in Wan Chai and my place was small, but affordable.
The so many special characterisrics in HK, as a HongKonger, I will recommend food, natural environments and architechture, not the skycrappers, but the old British buildings and the shophouses. Also, as HK is hilly, there are so many beautiful nature parks and hiking trails in HK with spectacular views. Also, actually Feungshui isn't be taken as that serious in HK, just depends on people and the estate developer😀 Thanks for introducing my home tho😂😂
I think the first one is wrong, the reason why the name is Hongkong is because they use to import spice from Hongkong, and spice in Chinese is pronounce as smell good
I am a HongKonger and I proud to be one of Hong Kong. Despite the abovementioned information about Hong Kong aren't that precise, those information do help people take a briefly look on Hong Kong. Owing to the fact that many ppl confuse Hong Kong ,China or TaiWan. It is a great idea to have such video to show the world on the characteristics of Hong Kong. BTW, Hong Kong didn't have that much Japanese culture as the brutal rule is only 44 months (long for war),yet we do enjoy japan's culture now. Perhaps you may make some video about the downside of Hong Kong, to view Hong Kong the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Who those once lived in Hong Kong would realise living in Hong Kong is challenging and frustrating. All in all, impressive video though.
the reason that "many ppl confuse Hong Kong ,China or TaiWan", because they have never been into 3 places. It's ignorance. just like a person confuse UK, US, and Canada, because they have never been into 3 places.
I was born in Hong Kong, so was my grandfather and many of my uncles, aunties and cousins , I would always considered myself as Chinese, never british.
The local people were so nice to me,,,and I love the history from there too,,food great,,too.,,,so wish I was there right now,,,but it is OK we're I at right now,,,but I need to be happyer. ,,,so move needed
I lived in Hong Kong for 20 years and I still love Hong Kong but unfortunately it's soooooo expensive that I can't afford. You must be rich to have an average comfortable life in Hong Kong. Edit: Hong Kong is the most sophisticated and international town (more than Tokyo) in Asia! And speediest. Everything goes very fast and Hong Kongese think and calculate very fast! I LOVE HONG KONG!
0:41 it wasn't "occupied by the British"'; it was de-facto British land and territory during its years under the Crown. It also didn't become "independent" from British rule because it was handed straight to Chinese sovereignty, so it was never independent from anyone.
Can't wait to be living/working there again,,,,and also Miami and the mustang ranch.,,,,and Oakland too..,,,,..nothing will stop me,,OK,were I am for now,,but I need to grow in life and I can from these places,,,,,2012 was the year I made my life plan to do this ,,,,,,,it just feels so right,..,.no looking back //only moving forward,.,,,
I live in Hong Kong. I am an Expat. It is only that expensive if you live in Downtown Central. It is like basing all of New York City real estate prices on Manhattan, when more people live in the Bronx and Queens. And you say Hong Kong weirdly.
Clarification: JAPAN DID NOT RULED HONG KONG. During WWII, Japan had occupied HK. Many atrocities occur during that time. IT IS IN NO WAY, a colonial rule, it was a war crime! There are zero Japanese influence in both Mainland China and Hong Kong/Macau because of the unresolved tensions that still exist to this day. Please study up on the Second Sino-Japanese War before making such videos and claiming them to be facts!
Jyanne Skye Japan had tons of influences over Japan in terms of languages, culture and economy. Get a life. Japan is still China's single largest investor today. All modern vocabularies in modern Chinese and Korean are created by the Japanese. Stunned by how stupid people can get when they come to simplifications of knowledges. Shame
Huikwan Cheung Shame on you, Professor Knowledge. And the modern and old language of Japanese came from China, which in the Tang and Shui Dynasty, China have ambassadors to Japan, and the first emperor who admitted Japan a country is from China. Go search 'Japanese' in Wikipedia, you can get the real knowledge. Even the textbooks in Japan teaches children about Japanese is from Chinese… Don't be ignorant, knowledge is power.
Jyanne Skye: CLARIFICATION on your Clarification. JAPAN DID RULE HONG KONG. Well, they issued currencies in Hong Kong during their occupation times. If that's not ruling what is? Well, if ruling over a place is a crime then I am sure the Chinese Communist Party is committing a crime wherever they rule. Heck, look at these disgusting Commies who taught you hate just so they divert your attention from seeing who's the people's true enemy - the Chinese Communist Party. Wake up, dumb ass.
7:06 During the weekday rush hour, trains can alternate between endpoints at Tsing Yi and Tung Chung on the Tung Chung Line, any other lines that do this?
Actually Japanese had very few influence to Hong Kong compare to China or British due to the colonial period of Japan was very short. You can see Japanese food, Jpop and animate are popular in Hong Kong but they were imported after 1970~1980s. One more thing, we do have alcohol limit, normal we wouldn't sell drinks to teens under 18 =)
The Japanese occupied Hong Kong for 3 years and 8 months during world war two. But it had no effect nor impact on Hong Kong whatsoever since. I remember as a child in the 1950s , I was still able to pick up war relics on a beach in Kowloon, where the Japanese landing forces clashed with the defenders. But that beach had since been built over with highrise buildings since the eighties.
0:31 The skline here is apparently not HK, it is Shenzhen - the neighbouring city in China. But the houses and fields in the foreground is probably HK.
Teja s I think I misunderstood u. It's because we take medicine all the time, even with the slightest syndrome, most diseases are killed before they can even develop. Also, the elderlies in Hong Kong focus a lot on sustaining a healthy life, therefore they take another set of herbes and stuff to stay healthy
Also, many people don't know Hong Kong does have beautiful countrysides. Hong Kong has over 100 small islands surrounding. People very often go to small islands with yachts during weekends to enjoy the countrylife. Islands like Lamar, Lantau, and Sheung Chau, are all famous islands for weekends.
I m a Hong Konger i m always proud of it we hv one of the best transport system but we don't think that feng shui is that important n Japan has NO influence in hk they just occupied hk for 3 years.
3:36 the number 4 is a unlucky number because in Cantonese is pronounced as “say” and “say” sound like in Cantonese die so that’s why it a unlucky number.
Is it really THAT expensive? :/ I want to live there cause I really, really like Cantonese. But idk what value I can bring to Hong Kong to have people hire me and get paid well. Do you guys have a demand for German teachers? :D
the things they mention are just far more expensive than a local way of living, you can check video from other foreign youtubers that live in Hong Kong. I just watched one. th-cam.com/video/woHJEwp9sSI/w-d-xo.html
If you could live anywhere for an year all expenses paid? Where would you?

You forgot about aqua Luna a pirate who was kind even tho he was a private
Pirate
cool now I will definitely visit Hong Kong
99% on time that's better than New York transportation system which kind of sucks
Yes, I am a Hong Konger. Metro and bus are the main transport. The metro is really reliable and the carriers are clean. I had been to NY last year. The metro is a bit old and some places are smelly.
The life of New York that's why we are called New Yorkers
I can say NY is similar to HK in some ways. I had a good time in NY.
Brad Haughton lol true and the train stations smell much better
ITS 97%NOW
The city of my dreams, Ive been there 5 times and I stiil cant get enough, Id def love living long term in Hong Kong.

But food and transport is very affordable. Rent is high, but you can find reasonable places. I used to live in Wan Chai and my place was small, but affordable.
hectorsoy Agree. As a local I’d say that if you can get rid of housing all other expenses can be much cheaper than many 1st world cities.
Super interesting vid!!! Now I know I will accept the invitation to visit Hong Kong I was offered recently. Thanks!!!
I live in HK. Fengshui is not taken seriously. Most buildings don't skip out the 4th floor.
X-Plane Aviation but 4th being bad is not related I Fengshui, depending what study of Fengshui, their take on numbering is not always the same.
X-Plane Aviation it's about orientation, color & naming. not the "4".
It's like some western skyscrapers omitting the 13th floor, no doubt.
I think it's because in the Chinese languages the word for "four" is pronounced the same as the word for "death."
I live in hk and we don't have 4 and 14 floor
Thanks for showing our city ❤️
The so many special characterisrics in HK, as a HongKonger, I will recommend food, natural environments and architechture, not the skycrappers, but the old British buildings and the shophouses. Also, as HK is hilly, there are so many beautiful nature parks and hiking trails in HK with spectacular views.

Michael Cui I'm a hong konger too. No wonder I'm borned to love spicy food.
I've heard that Victoria Harbour is ANYTHING but fragrant! :^)
The water quality of Victoria Harbour is much better than the one in London.
I like the view of Hong Kong !

How can such a hectic place produce long lifespans?

You also forgot that HK also has the world's cheapest Michelin star restaruant at $4!

wow ! wonderful video 💖🙋♀️🤚👍️
Why would you use inconsistent units of internet speed when contrasting speeds of different countries?
Noticed that most of those videos were inverted. Especially the fact that those cars were going on the opposite side of where they should be

justin DWP I think Jyanne is right on it. But the tension is not always there in the surface.
The difference between "rule" and mere "occupation" is too subtle for many Anglophones.
Jyanne Skye Japan had tons of influences over Japan in terms of languages, culture and economy. Get a life. Japan is still China's single largest investor today. All modern vocabularies in modern Chinese and Korean are created by the Japanese. Stunned by how stupid people can get when they come to simplifications of knowledges. Shame
