Best Things to do in Hong Kong - Overnight City Guide
ฝัง

- Do you remember that scene in Pinocchio, when our favourite lying doll is convinced by honest John to take a vacation and then placed on a stage coach on its way to Pleasure Island where other misfit kids can do smoke cigars, drink and break things without any thought of consequences but are then turned into terrifying mini donkeys, the thought of which still sometime haunts my dreams by the way. Well, Hong Kong is Pleasure Island.

Love the last part. It was extremely accurate
The ending speech is pretty amazing, people watch till the end.Im from Hong Kong and what you said in the end about HK/China absolutely resonates with me.
Overall, great video!
I am from Germany and I also live in HK at the moment - I upload 1 video a week about certain things I experience. If you are interested have a look to my chanel :-)
Christian Bou we are going to HK this oct 2017. I need some detailed guide on public transportations, how to MTR lol where and what to see
Holy fuck, this is just too well done it's a sin that it's not seen on TV too.
By far leaps and bounds better than the previous Overnights in terms of production. Score is on point, and the writing, man the writing - impeccable. Best part? The ending. "...beckoning across the sea, of vivid recurring dream, a torrent of height and experiences. When you wake up in the middle of the night asking yourself if it was real." Trouble.
The Overnight series is a hipper, younger, and more dapper "Parts Unknown" or "No Reservations."
Thanks for your generosity, uploading 21 minutes of awesomeness via Overnight.
thanks always for the support MG!
love your little monologue at the end of the video. although there's still room for discussion on our identity as ''Chinese'', you made an accurate interpretation of what most local genuinely think. keep up the good work ;)
Ur video appeared on my recommendation page and I'm so glad I clicked it. I've been living in Hong Kong since I was born and I love the way u travelled and saw Hong Kong. That last part tho :') really liked it xx
he just made TH-cam great again. this was amazing *__* so inspiring too
thanks!
Nice piece man. Way different from my spontaneous no plan 24 hours in HongKong vlog experience haha
Always loved your Overnight vids but this particular one is remarkable. Keep being an inspiration! 🙃
awesome!
FINALLY!! Please keep this Overnight going man. Yes, I'm commenting before watching the video. Means you're good with it ;) Keep it up mate, appreciates.
haha a long time coming i know!
I can’t help taking notice of Erwan’s narrative.... the choice of words and ideas are nothing short of brilliant. I feel like I’m not only watching an engrossing travel vlog but reading a feature article as well. Amazing!
It's nice to hear an outsider's POV of what HK is like. Living here, and being caught up with routine work, we tend to forget how special this city is. Hope you can explore other parts of Kowloon and the outlying islands next time. There is a budding food scene and untapped gems in these areas.
Overnight episodes never disappoint. 🙌🏻
Thanks!
After a summer spent in Hong Kong, I have never heard a better description of the city as those given in the Intro and the Outro of this episode. Overnight never disappoints in transporting me to a foreign country/culture or bringing back memories of past travels. Definitely one of the best (and my favorite) series on youtube! Keep it up!
thank you so much!
Can never get enough of videos about HK. Thanks for your views.
Very, very good video guide. I like the fact that you name the places you visit/recommend, show what you're eating, and then add a summary at the end regarding the issues facing the city.
I've lived here for over a year and this is a great representation of Hong Kong from my perspective. The underlying energy of the city, the tug of war between Chinese and Western cultures, and the great restaurants and bars specifically recommended in this video make Hong Kong truly an amazing place! Well done!
thank you!!!
Just discovered your videos while planning a second trip to Vietnam. Wow your content is simply stunning. Not just beautiful and poetic, but super informative and helpful. Thanks for making this amazing videos.
Hey Erwan, great video! We did Hong Kong in 2010, and saw waaaay more than what is featured here. We were staying in a hotel near Quarry Bay, and hardly spent any time there! We ventured off to the downtown area for dim sum, walked through the garment district, took the tram up to Victoria Peak, took a cable car ride to Ngong Ping Village and climbed the stairs of the Tian Tan Buddha, spent a day at Disneyland on Lantau Island, rode the subway so many times I forgot which way I was going sometimes, ate lots of pork, rice, chicken, and seafood, visited numerous shopping centres, saw lots of temples and burned incense and learned how to pray to the gods, walked to some far out restaurant and ate pigeon, and got hit on by the live entertainer (the guys were joking that she had the hots for me - but she was just being super-friendly), went to the race track and bet on the horses, strolled through the downtown core and took pictures of some *really* tall buildings, took the Macau Ferry over to Macau and did some gambling, went to the Zoo and Ocean Park... so much to do, so little time! For a kwai lo, I think I did pretty good! I loved Hong Kong and would like to go back some day!
Hi Dan, I'm from Hong Kong, and I am glad that you like my city! We welcome you to come back to experience more :)
I'm going to Korea for the first time in my life, just watched your video about Seoul. Loved it! So helpful and interesting! Thank You! I think I'm going to watch all your videos tonight! You have your own way to tell story, guide, even eat. Loved every moment.
awesome! let me know
Wow - so well done. Good work man. Very stylish shots and editing. That Pinocchio thing in the beginning was so immersive
Thank you for speaking for HongKongers at the end of video. The whole video is so so beautifully filmed, well organized, nice recommendations
Always in awe how erwan put everything in different approach. Each video is like "in the eyes of Erwan Heusaff". I'll be in HK next month & cant wait to explore the other side. Great vid! Keep it up! :)
Thanks for mentioning the last bit. Made this video all the more genuine. The struggle is real. Laters x
I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years and I am very impressed by this video! it's really good :) Really comprehensive and very good narration! It's important to mix both traditional and western food and I think you've done a good job compiling both! I might be wrong - but do you speak French? Just noticed in ways you pronounced some words so just curious! :)
Charmaine Yip he’s farther or mother is French and he was studying in France.
what a gent ! .. Love the way he documented this compact 2 days trip in h.k. ... very rounded and top up with his great voice and energy ! bless x
This video really touched me, especially in the end, as a hongkonger. I might have teared a bit. I really thank you for telling people our deepest fears and insecurities towards Hong Kong's future. Hong Kong may seem glamorous on the outside, but in reality, there are a lot of pain and doubt our people face. Thank you once again.
thanks for watching!
Love the speech at the end, very powerful! Hong Kong looks beautiful, I'm seeing it this February!
this is amazing.. your groups way of editing and capturing moments are getting better.. keep it up.. cant wait for the next ep.
Beautiful narrative Erwan, Hong kong baits you in and spits you out ! I just love your eloquence !
Why do I feel that there is an Anthony Bourdain vibe in all of these. From narration to angles and shots. Great job, Erwan!
because its copied from the original ...
I know but was that bad? The output was good though. I love the fact the he features the grittiness of the places that he visits and not just the generic tourist spots.
guys its pretty much impossible to copy a show haha. I shot it how i explore it. If it gives you that vibe than maybe that's all you know
Your videos are so inspiring man...
I went to Hong-Kong for a week and it was by far the best week of my life. So many things to discover in this city
Your editorial points at the end of your video almost make me cry.. Im lookin forward for ur next episode! Excited lang
I lived in hong kong for a year, it definitely reminds me of nyc and Hawaii, fast-paced in the Central and Western Districts, but slower as you get away from Hong Kong Island. Its one of the few places that you get to enjoy both the city and its natural landmarks. An hour ride on the train will get you to the other side of the island with beaches and natural parks. AND THE FOOD IS AMAZING, ONCE YOU EAT IN HONG KONG, NOTHING WILL COMPARE TO THE FOOD IN HONG KONG. You can eat anything anytime and i miss it so much.
You really captured the flavour of Hong Kong, especially the end. Seriously amazing.
I first came across your overnight videos before my Seoul trip and it really helped me a lot getting around the city. I'm glad you keep coming back to Hk because it is after all very homey as we call it home kong.
Thanks mvp
This is topnotch! It increases my blood level to binge eating more and discover country spots whether it's mainstream or not! Thank you sir! 👏👏👏
thanks man
Thanks so much for this video. I always love visiting HK and I always feel like the energy and atmosphere is what brings me back
Im absolutely in love with your Overnight series. I'm from Hong Kong and this video made me really happy! Next time you should visit the New Territories too - it's often the forgotten part of HK because all people know about are HK Island and Kowloon. there's good food there and you get to experience a completely different vibe from the city area of HK!
These Over Night videos are so enjoyable and informative. I do hope you do more of them, as many as you can manage.
I love Hong Kong too.
thank you!!
Thank you. Thank you so much for this Overnight show! This brings me so much memories of TLC's former travel shows that were highly entertaining and educational. This is exactly what I'm looking for in a Travel+Food show where the host takes us to places with him and we actually feel it and remember all the things he went to and we should go to. It's the delivery really. So thank you so much, Erwan for this wonderful treat! Your narration is absolutely amazing and full of knowledge and heart. You really take us on an adventure, in your adventure. Just please, please slow down a bit like a mili second on your narration to make me catch up with all the words more. Hehe. But nontheless, your show is amazing. I'm hooked up!
This is amazing, I'm off to Hong Kong next month! Can't wait to try some of the places you've mentioned :)
P.s - you should do an overnight for singapore and manila too :)
Manila might be tough since I'm from here, Singapore, eventually, down the line :)
Great film, you're a good film maker and nothing really captivates me on youtube anymore and this did.
This is my home city and even though I have been in Australia a lot longer now, there is a great romanticism with Hong Kong for me and surely this is what you intend to as well.
By far the Best insightful travel videos ...done with class... tasteful and entertaining ...BRAVO MAN
im suddenly sobbing. i love HK. i miss it. so many memories and hoping to come back soon with good friends and try your recommendations. keep it up erwan!
same love that place!
wow. This is the best travel video I have ever seen. You have really improved over the last few months. It's cool that you are so into food. I couldn't believe that you gave about 50 restaurant recommendations for your viewers, holy, I don't know what I am going to do with a list that big, but your enthusiasm is so nice so it doesn't matter! I am looking forward to a future Tokyo video on your channel hopefully! ;)
Best video I've ever seen on HK. love the music, narration and footage. More please!!!
You captured Hong Kong's energy and vibe so well in this!
I am traveling to Hong Kong in few weeks and this video helped me a lot.!! Thanks
Very sophisticated well crafted and yet so thin and shallow. I love Bourdain and the difference is so narrow and yet so vast. I think it's called life experience.
yup and a 20 year gap, thanks for the comparison though.
Great video Erwan! I worked in HK in 2008 and will be visiting in a couple of weeks time. Your video inspired me to make a video of my coming trip.
The last 2 mins of this video was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
This is my first time watching your overnights,,and you deserve not just one thumbs up but an applause rather,,keep it up erwan!!! I didnt have a second thought of subscribing your channel!!!
thanks Audrey
+Erwan Heussaff OMG this made may day!!! Ur not just a fat kid inside but also kind kid inside🤗 looking forward in watching your overnight here in dubai..more power and God Bless 😇
Super dope cinematography.. Love these Overnight episodes!
Always excited when I see an Overnight episode uploaded! Keep them coming Erwan!
i appreciate that Simon
Been wanting to watch this but never had a chance til now. It's really cool what you did here though it reminds me of watching Anthony. Nevertheless, I enjoyed so much! Feels like I'm with you all through the events. Looking forward to watch the other videos! I think this is going to be one of my favorites! 🤗
You should have a Q&A one day! I bet your viewers has a lot of questions. Keep up the good work :)
i'll schedule an FB live soon
Man your videos are incredible. Love them. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
wow that conclusion though! awesome vid :)
gracias
You are a great narrator. Good editing too, well done!
I really appreciated your closing statement. Very true. Support and love to Hong Kongers!
Watched all of your videos but I felt like this one had the most emotion.
going here in less than three weeks! So excited, loved the video man!!
You obviously had fun during this trip! The editing of this episode was ace! And also because it was extra long haha.
PS: Went to Saigon recently and used your episode as a guide!
Nice. Always hard work, but always lots of fun
Love the video ! Really hit home on many levels and so true with Tsui Wah being the spot for drunk food and drunk food only. Appreciated the ending speech, I actually watched the video all the way to the end, which is rare for someone with such a short attention span. I am actually inspired to document my travels in some way as I am always hopping from place to place, seeing the world through the lens of food! (its lfie!) I was wondering if you have any tips/ would love to know what gear you used for your videos !
Amazing as always! waiting for the next episode! Btw I saw you at Verjus wine bar last week 😁
nice
The quality of your videos are always perfect. Good job! 👌
merci!
Thankyou erwan.. I'm always checking if you have new uploaded video.. Your video was awesome, short yet so knowledgeable!
best travel guide in the internet!
Finally. Your overnight episodes are so cool. Keep it up 🔥 But a collab with anne is a great idea.
thanks!
+Erwan Heussaff Np
very well written and very informative! i feel like i need to go back and visit hk again.. looking forward to your next episodes Erwan.
Thanks!
That ending speech is the best part of your vlog !!!!
I love how you describe the city. I had a freat time in Hong Kong last year and Im going back in december :-) weiiii
Best one yet! Every ep is better than the last!
thank you so much
The last part :)
Great script, as always! Perfect! Makes me wanna go back to Hong Kong, and pig out on all those featured foods.
These overnight series makes me want to travel to the featured places. Looking forward to the next ones! :)
Thanks! Japan next Oishi
loved it! The nicest youtube vlog about HK I could find.
Will be in HK for the loooong weekend and I'm so glad I just came across this!
I LOVE this!!!! Well done!!!! I've been playing (And don't laugh! I know the game is old now!) Sleeping Dogs - for the past few days. I've fallen in love with Hong Kong in the game and it made me TH-cam a video on Hong Kong. I mean, surely SOMEONE has to be living my dream and seeing the world! Anyway, dude -- I love this clip! Almost felt like I was there! Even started to tear up a little at the thought of never being able to travel to places like this. Don't tell anyone about the "tear up" part! Oh wait -- I just did! HAHA :P Hong Kong has officially jumped to the TOP of my bucket list! Guess I gotta work a little harder and a little longer, but, it's GOING TO HAPPEN! Thank you for this! And I'm a new subscriber! You fuckin ROCK!
Very nice video! Nice cross between Parts Unknown and Layover. Look forward to more.
thanks Antony!!!!
Oo awesome video! Love the perspective!
Should do an episode on Taiwan's famous night markets! :DD
thanks! we did taipei already :)
Amazing video as aways, I loved so much! You're an amazing storyteller Erwan
Thank you!
+Erwan Heussaff are you planning to do an overnight in Shanghai maybe? Or any city in China? Or an European city?
Damn, what you said 3 years ago rings true today. I've been to most of the places you've recommended, a great list.
once again, great work erwan! more films like these pls
yes for sure
TSINGTAO: This Shit Is Not Good Try Another One 😂😂😂
Favorite part of the video now that I live i Hong Kong
I've never seen Erwan smile this much in videos haha! Congrats on this one Erwan, its pretty cool! :--)
i always smile!
Wow! This video was so DOPE!! Makes me wanna go to Hong Kong. You know all the nice places where to eat maaaaan! Haha Can't wait to see more food/travel videos like this :)
fly away
This was awesome overnight vid! This by far is my fav overnight episode 👍🏻🤘🏻🤓
Very insightful and compelling conclusion that is an astute statement of the local politics whilst capturing the allure and draw of Hong Kong.
Overnight Eps are just awesome! love the vids!
Glad I checked this out, I'll be in HK the next six months but the last part is one of my favorite! :) Thanks for the info!
awesome ep! I am from Hongkong and the places you recommended are good , but they are generally quite expensive for locals to eat on regular basis. However, your description of the city are really true , you wont only feel the buzz 24/7 , but you will feel the intense stress within the city , people often overwork till midnight everyday.
You guys should have try the egg tart from central tai cheong bakery!!
it is!
One of my fave cities in Asia too. Pls do new Overnight videos again soon and maybe outside Asia too. Much love
my cousin is studying at hong kong university. i am going to visit her and I can't wait! your video is great!!!
this made me extra excited for my trip in a couple of days. good work as always! are you considering macau? i'd love to see the gems you uncover there
Well-filmed video! Can't wait to go to Hong Kong, seems like such a dream-like place. I'm sure it's somewhat similar to Tokyo in that regard.
I honestly also felt that it was so hard to keep up with the city. But it was truly amazing and I want to go back there.
Very nice video, though after having lived there for 6 months I'd say that there's a loooot to do in Kowloon part as well, and definitely, Central isn't the most interesting part of Hong Kong island ! Just a personal opinion, but thanks !
for sure, i agree. Still not my favourite part though and not the most accessible either
Hong Kong was my first travel abroad. I miss it and I will definitely be back in the coming years 😊
The outro part was beautiful man. I got lost in those words.
