- My first day in Hong Kong. In this video we will walk around the streets of one of the most iconic neighborhoods in the city, the Tsim Sha Tsui area also known as TST. We will also visit Avenue of the stars to get the iconic skyline view of Hong Kong, which is undoubtedly one of the most impressive in the world! While on my walk I will also talk to you guys about prices fro the metro system and what you can expect to pay for accommodation in the city!

as a hong konger, i'm honestly so happy that youtube recommended this video to me. so glad to know how tourists view HK. love this video a lot
samee
Same
Sorry for ruined the vibe, but everyone seems to be too hyped up, we can't deny the fact that Hong Kong is facing a lot of issue, it's not like we can escape it by a random dude commented positively.
@@lam93201 i don't think anybody's trying to escape anything, commenting positively about the beauty of Hong Kong does not equal to ignoring the fact that it's full of underlying social issues. therefore there's no vibe to be ruined.
@@FREN-ZI just saying, there is still obvious problem in HK, the skyscraper might look nice but what’s inside is super cramped, that’s why it’s vibrant lol
East Asian cities are generally very safe and have very good public transport. I’m glad you are enjoying your time
I had the most amazing time in HK!
bro what is your expectation of safe ? as a hker we get stab and bully by main land chinese everyday :(
@@Littleduckkkat least better than gun party
@@Littleduckkk I am a hker as well and almost every day we have news of people being murdured and suicides bc of politics
@@nathankwok4291not politics, stress is the main reason
Its good to see someone excited to visit the city I was born and raised in, so colour of the taxi determines where it can take you, urban taxis are the red ones, New Territories taxis are green and Lantau taxis are blue. You won't see a lot of old cars in Hong Kong as well. TST is the main tourist area.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Ye TST is like one of the best areas for tourists
I recommend everyone visits HK.... Ive been a few times and its easily the best place in the world for me!
Thanks for loving HK. HK always welcomes you.
I live in there or here, it's a great place to visit but not live
@@kk08 sure!!!
I disagree
Nice....! what you like the most in HK?
HK too many people...😂
Loving your HK series…I’m South African and visited HK for the first time in 2017. I’ve been back 5 times. Lived in Kowloon (ICON Hotel) amazing views of skyline…lived in Wan Chai, LKF (Lan Kwai Fong), Causeway Bay…I absolutely love HK…and each time I go I make a point of spending a few nights in Macau while I’m there.
I’m a local, seems like you know what u r doing
@@UCWong absolutely love Hong Kong…one of my favourite destinations 👍🏻
Thanks for loving HK. HK always welcomes you.
Hi Chris, I enjoyed this vlog. I’ve visited Hong Kong about 30 times since 2004. Mainly travel for work but lots of pleasure too. Fabulous place. Probably my favourite destination and I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited over 45 countries in my time! 👍🌟✈️
Thanks for loving HK. HK always welcomes you.
Glad that you enjoyed Hong Kong. TST is one of our best areas in the city :) As a local, I enjoy going there from time to time. Don't be scared by the big brand stores outside of the mall, you can still access to casual brands, or just be stunned by the interior of the malls (especially the toilets! musea's toilets are the best!)
there are lots of shops selling nice clothings with a budget price
As a person born and raised in hong kong, I am proud I grew up in such an amazing and vibrant cities. I live near TST, so during the weekends, I would come down to the broadwalk near K11 and just admire the view. Man...Hong Kong will always be my favourite city, nobody can change my mind :)
Enjoy your time here!
The K11 Musea is the nicest shopping center I have ever been in, even compared to the other malls in HK. Truly beautiful
Never seen other people so very excited by the Victoria harbour harbour skyline
Thank you Chris
Hong Kong is unique
We moved to Edinburgh for two years
Not easy to hang around at TST ar the moment
Love Hongkong forever❤
I visited Hong Kong in the early 2000's when i was young. This video definitely brings back memories. The soft serve ice cream and waffles are so good.
So glad this video brought back memories! I bet its changed so much since then! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
I am from Hong Kong. Thank you for arousing me how wonderful here is… Hk, my place of birth, is an energetic city. You will never feel bored here. Many explorations that you can find in this tiny place. But in the past few years, so many ppl emigrated from Hk. They have no alternative to leave their home… And most of them are in consideration of their next generation… I love Hk and have even been proud of to be here. But now, it just really depends… Please bless Hk and hope Hk keeps going with FAITH.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 💪🏻❤️
glory to hong kong
your choice is right.get out of Hong Kong and we don't need trash
曱甴好吃懶做，到邊度都一樣做底層
Hong Kong, China is a good place, therefore we stay in Hong Kong. Happy to see the servant of Uk who leaving Hong Kong.
Appreciate the shout-out 🙏 Crazy that the hotel prices were THAT high for you 😳 even if I look up the hotel I stayed at now, it's $60/night and it was super decent. Something must have been going on during your visit that increased the prices 😅
Yes bro, there was a holiday! Forget what it was, but they told me it was like a new year! I will be back though forsure!
Next time, I will do proper planning so that I don't break the bank again' 😂
Chris, you go to the coolest places. I am impressed with Hong Kong. I never would’ve thought it was that nice. I am from Huntington Beach California. It’s nice to see the other side of the world through your eyes,!!Have fun and stay safe you’re awesome. 🏖️🇺🇸
OC nice.. lake forest here .. HB is also an Amazing place on this earth
We have been to HK twice, had to go back a second time as there was still so much to see and do! Amazing city. Really enjoyed watching the vlog brought back lovely memories
❤
Do visit the Peak for an awe dropping view of Hong Kong, especially at night under a clear sky. It’s out of the world and the best in the world.
True
Red Taxi can take riders from everywhere in HK. Green taxi operates in New Territories area, and blue taxi operates in Lantau Island area. Both green and blue taxis can take riders to the city but are prohibited from taking riders from the city back to their operating areas. U don’t have to worry about your personal safety in HK or China, it’s really safe. Not like here in the US, I am afraid to walk alone in the street at night
As a person living in Hong Kong almost my whole life I'm very glad someone visit and enjoying it
That skyline looks unreal like a photo/portrait wow. Always wanted to go there. I think back in the day it used to be cheap to go there, shop etc.
Yes it is insane! Wow really? These days its crazy expensive!
Wow, that's an iconic view of Hong Kong!! Amazing! Another added to the "must see" list! Keep the adventure going...Bruce and Otis
I am a native HKer and now living in the US since 2019. Thank u for the wonderful video!!! I haven't gone back there for over 3 years! Your video makes me miss HK very much!! Thank u!!!!
I m a local, and it’s always interesting to see and explore Hong Kong from a foreigner’s perspective! Glad you enjoy your stay❤
100% safest places to visit. Enjoy
Yes!!!
hk is so beautiful! it’s on my bucket list one of these days!
thank you for liking my city. I marvel and appreciate everyday , the good food and excellent transport system of my home 😊😊😊. It is also very safe.
Great video and you managed to capture the wonderful scenery. There are ferries that cross from Kowloon side to Hong Kong side. It’s called the Star Ferry and a very cheap way of transport for a few HK dollars. The scenic ride will show you the amazing HK skyline in slow moving motions.
Oh wow what a rich city and very clean ! I really enjoy your all videos brother ..i definitely share your chanel with others !!
Enjoy and bless bro !
Niro from amsterdam and heart from sri lanka 🇱🇰 ❤🙏 !!
Can't explain in words Insane really ultra modern skyscrapers high rise buildings n well maintain n planned city I have ever seen 😳
Yes it is awesome! Such a unique city!
So heres some extra info for you The Pier Hotel you checked into I used to Scuba Diving on boats from the pier directly in front every weekend for almost 20 years.
All the major scuba centres and clubs meet there on the weekends. I lived in Hong Kong for 28 years and tomorrow Im flying back after nearly two years away due to Covid. HKG is such an amazing city . I cant wait to get back. THANK YOU for creating this great video of my long time home.
Thanks for bringing me back to Hong Kong. HK is my favourite city! Used to live there and try to come back as often as I can but when I’m not there I enjoy the content of TH-camrs like you. So thank you!
Yes, I have been to Hong Kong a long time ago. It was great. Thanks for sharing it and keep up the good work. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Such an incredible city! What year did you visit Sharon?
@@Travelwithchris I visited Hong Kong in 1995
I visited Hong Kong for 3 weeks, seeing my relatives in the summer of 1988. I remember eating those tastiest, delicious street foods, and toured the attractions there. Thanks for bringing back those nice memories there!
Thanks a lot foe the support! I hope to go back also!
Chris, go to the Peninsula Hotel at night. Head to the restaurant on the top floor. Just buy a drink at the bar, then visit the gents toilets. You can see through the walls at the urinals looking across at Hong Kong Island skyline. Amazing view.
Dang that is awesome! Thanks for the tip! I tot that noted for next time!
Who needs cable TV when you have travel with Chris? I love how you genuinely want to help others. Your adventures allow me to feel like I am right there. I love to binge watch your videos, keep up the great work!
Wow, 🇭🇰 Hong Kong is amazing, great video Chris , great information 👍👍
Chris, I am so envious. I was born in HK in 1988 and left in 1996 to the US. I. havent been back and I need to go.
Epic skyline! So clean and fresh there, makes it pleasant to walk round I'm sure. Interesting video and thanks for all the info. Wish you good time and continuing happy travels. Till next time✌️👍👌
Yes definitely! I loved the weather in HK. However, I did get hit hard everyday with rain!
Been many times to Hong Kong Macau and China, great place to travel and the food is so good in HK, not been back since Covid but getting back in a few weeks for 4 weeks in HK and 1 week in Singapore, brings back memories of your walk and can’t wait to see soon
Chris I have been to Hong Kong many times from 2007...2008..2009..2010..2011..2012..2013..2015...2018..2019..I love the city and out in the country..I go into Shenzhen which is just inside China from Hong Kong there is a huge shopping centre...many floors packed with stores selling anything from shoes to bags..clothes..oh the list goes on...there isnt much street foods now in HK...sadly...the Ladies markets area you could street food but is now in little stalls...but I have always felt safe in Hong Kong...loved watching this episode...go down and watch the laser light display at night from where you were today...
Victoria Harbour is a great start to this trip. Spectacular views. Enjoy your stay!
Wow Hong Kong is one nice looking place, can't wait to discover what's next 😊
Welcome to my hometown Chris! Thank you to show me hows TST now, I didn't go back 9 years already.
I was there last month! And you are right, what a wonderful city. Me&my husband loves the public transport soo much. And the food, oooohhh it never fail. Just find any random local food and guarantee that we wont regret it
Such a great place! I'm so glad you had an amazing time!
I love HK!! First visit on two day layover to Australia in 2007. Next stay was in Feb 2020 just before lockdown.
My last stay was in June this year, almost two weeks. Stayed at the Ramada Harbor View too. Also went to Macau for two nights, that’s was also very cool!
Plan was to go back in October/November, but will go again in spring next year
Normally when Chris says ‘Actually!’ After seeing something he normally goes back for one😉😉
When I was growing up (in Malaysia), the best food I remember that I loved was Malaysian-Cantonese (very related to Hong Kong cuisine). I love it!. Not just Dim Sum but so many others. :)
Yes I agree! Some of the best! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Yeah been to HK many2 years ago. Twice back in the 80s. Still in my bucket list to revisit again
This place is beautiful thanks again for keeping me up to date.
Good job❤ be safe
Welcome to HK! I actually live 10 minutes away from TST so I guess can call myself a local of TST haha. This might disappoint you but it's becoming harder and harder to get street food from HK unfortunately as the government has been forcing street food vendors to move into a proper shop for hygienic reasons. Hau Fook Street and Haiphong Street Temporary Market are probably the only survivors in the TST area.
It's also interesting that you pointed out that you saw a lot of "foreigners" when you were in front of Chungking Mansion! Chungking Mansion is known to be THE most multicultural place in the whole of Hong Kong as it houses a large number of South Asians and Africans. You also find other non-ethnic-Chinese communities here and there in Hong Kong (Koreans in TST, Nepalese in Jordan, Pakistani in Kwai Chung etc.) and a considerable amount of them was born and raised in Hong Kong so I wouldn't call them foreigners myself tbh.
They also speak better English in TST than the rest of HK due to its proximity to the CBD (aka Central) and its location as the PRIME shopping area in HK (Canton Road for all the luxury brands!) but using English shouldn't be a big problem in HK as English-medium schools are still prominent in HK.
Hope you've enjoyed your time in HK!
Your assessment is spot on. Tesla is everywhere in China. Its like a Toyota for them. Tesla are considered middle income vehicle
Glad I wasn't wrong about that! Thanks for watching!
Discovered your channel, literally, yesterday! Diggin' your vibe! I'll be in HK in October visiting my GF up in Science Park area.
Thanks for the video! Welcome to Hong Kong! Yes go check out the luxury cars here! The Peninsula Hotel got a whole fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms in their iconic colour!
Good morning from Texas, have a great time in Hong Kong love your videos of your travels😎👍🏼
Thanks a lot brother! Have a great Sunday!
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 definitely amazing an world 🌎 class😊
Chris Hong Kong used to be British that’s why they all speak English they also drive on left hand side of road cheers from Australia
Yes!!! I learned that not long after filming this first video! Loved my time there! Sending love your way also brother! 🙏🏻
Been 3 times 11, 13, 18. Great city easy to get about. Stanley is lovely and for experiences the night time horse racing at happy valley is cool. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to.
Dang! I have a feeling I will be back many times as well! It is awesome!
Thank you for sharing our existing and energetic city to your audiences.
I appreciate the support bro
Thank you so much for giving all the good words & compliments to my home town. For sure it is a beautiful city.
Love this video man ive always wanted to go to Hong Kong definitely going to make it out there soon.
At 21:57 you shot the front of the iconic Chankung Mansion building that is a notorius hang out for cheap travellers staying in tiny rooms in hostels that charge around 30/50 US per night! The name of the road is Nathan road, you were on the Kowloon side of the bay.
I had no idea about that place! Could've been cool to visit!
Chris the area where you are at is Tsum Sha Tsui, the most popular place, expensive, very commercial
I have been to Hong Kong 4 times and soon going the fifth time . Love the city and people.
As jaded Hongkongers who haven't had a good 3 years during lockdown (it's JUST a city, insanely small & populated) plus a year-long protest in 2019, it's nice to see foreigners come & gush over our city.
& yeah, I agree, our urban skyline is the BEST on this planet (the view from the Bulgari rooftop overlooking both the Bund & Pudong in Shanghai is the 2nd best).
Tsim Sha Tsui was my home neighborhood for six of eight years there, 88 to 96. Been back several times over the years, not nearly enough. One of my favorite places in the world. Btw Tsim Sha Tsui, think of the Ts as a J as in Jim Sha Joy
Thanks so much for sharing that Bruce!
As soon as you said " this beautiful country " I can't help myself to press the like button
I was here in 2017.......I cried when I saw all those buildings....
Brooooo so excited for this adventure in Hongkong.. safe travels shout out from Austin Texas
Nós não vimos nenhum lixo nas ruas, e nenhuma barraca de lanche pelas calçadas. Isso que e um país limpo diferente daqui do Brazil 🇧🇷
Definitely on my bucketlist now.Great video Chris
Hong Kong is a beautiful city when its not cloudy
❤️🙏🏻🇭🇰
Few years ago I stayed in a hotel size of a shoe box in Tsim Sha Tsui, right where you walked in this video, the street going down from the park entrance. It was 60 bucks a night. I lived in China, and my flight was from HK, so wanted to stay somewhere central for a day. I think 8pm, or 8:30 there is a light show on the skyline where you started the video. Cheers
I’m Cantonese, I grew up in Hong Kong.
Your video helps me with my homesick 🇭🇰💜🥹 thank you 🇭🇰
K11 Musea is a newly redeveloped mall selling high-end art and crafts in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Tsim Sha Tsui is not Victoria City (better known as Central).
Interesting place; however, as you stated, it reminds me so much like Manhattan with the high rises, upscale stores, and the hustle and bustle.
Yes definitely! A lot of similarities!
Chris if you want to get interesting content you can get a ferry to one of the islands extremely cheap then you are in the rural area, you can rent a bicycle ride around visit old fishing areas etc totally different vibe to the big city!
Thanks so much for the recommendation! I got hit incredibly hard with rain while I was there and wasn't able to make it to any islands! I will be back though!
Love the place. Been there twice for the sevens in 15 and 19 and we are off again on Wednesday. Can't wait to get back out there
I am a Hongkonger, thanks for share video of my hometown, it is an amazing city, I miss people there.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️🇭🇰
as a hong konger i can say hong kong is very specal to other people because we don't often sees a "concrete forest" as to other countries according to my knowledge about other countries, also a diversificate and well-equipped place although it's kinda busy, loud and crowd
Oh. You should go inside the K11 mall. Just enjoy the interior design. That is so beautiful.
You always make such great videos. Thank you. Blessings
I am from Hong Kong and I glad you enjoy your stay in my hometown! Let me know if you come back to HK again in future, would love to bless you with a haircut!
It’s beautiful city I wasn’t expecting that .
If your in Hong Kong island Bank of China has a floor which is a viewing platform for the harbour.
I need to check that out! 🤩
Im a regular visitor to HK, my visits can last as long as a month, its my favourite place to visit and has been for over a decade. The food is amazing, there is great shopping to be done, and so much to see. I've even stayed a few times in the infamous Chungking Mansions, btw it isn't as bad as ppl make it out to be. I'll be back there early next year. I even write a blog where I share everything I do & see and give tips.
Hy Chris🤗,
You missed the night view on the Avenue of stars coz you can see the Symphony of lights there and it's an amazing night view.
The night view when you are walking along promenade from Admiralty towards Central is really amazing, enjoy
You Are A Great. Keep Going you Deserve Support.
Glad you liked HongKong🎉🎉🎉I really wanted to visit Hong Kong again😢, it was my hometown but I moved to the UK 2 years ago😅
thanks for filming all these stunning views！
✋👆
You always can find the interesting side of a city
Love this!! Looks great over there. 🎉
Hong Kong is good because apart from the beautful scenery of mountains ,harbour or ocean view( depend on where you are),easy and cheap public transpotation, no sales tax at all when shopping for anything,beautiful shopping malls,great variety of food and delcious,(can be cheap too if doing research before going there ), stunning view of harbour especially at night,all those nature trails to walk on islands and mountains,plus the nice weather ( no snow during winter), autumn is the best,just cool,not hot or cold,ocean park and disleyland is nice but have admission fee,the view from the peak is absolutely gorgeous particularly at night,star ferry ride is resfreshing and incredibly cheap,hong kong park and kowloon park are both nice and are free of charge,all the streets and roads do have both offical english and chinese name so it is easy to find your way
Really enjoyed your video Chris. I visited Hong Kong in 2018, watching your video is making me want to visit this beautiful city again.
Beautiful work Chris keep doing you stay safe ❤🙏🏽💯
Greetings from Hong Kong! Glad that you like the city! As a local can’t believe that foreigners like Hk so much haha
Tsim Sha Tsui is know for having luxury brands. So that’s why everything you see are crazily expensive there haha
Night time the skyline is also impressive and beautiful
Yes!!!!
Hey Chris. You don’t need to take those tourist ferry. There’s a ferry from the place to central and it only cost $10 I think. That ferry can see the skyline that you’re talking about
A cheeky tip/recommendation: in shum sho po there's a youth hostel called Mei ho house and its built in a refurbished old style Hong Kong housing from pre 1980s. Don't worry tho its still spacious and even has a history museum (free entry but not open on Monday) personally I've had prices at 500HKD for a week and had 2 rooms (separate from each other) there's even a bathroom in the room, tv, ac and its only a stones throw from the markets and shops. It is located on a small hill so you don't hear anything traffic at night. Enjoy HK ppl! 😁
So excited for this series amazing video
Its going to be a good one!!!
Hey Chris, I went to Hong Kong on Dec 2018.. beautiful country nice people..but yeah expensive city..just like my country; Singapore 😅 and yeah, u should go to the "Ladies Market" stay safe bro.. love your videos!
Love the videos man. Your a good dude keep up the good work
Thanks so much bro! I appreciate that!
You missed one of the best bakeries in Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui, called Bakehouse. Their egg tarts are the best in Hong Kong.
