- First impressions of Hong Kong. What does it cost to travel in Hong Kong in 2024?
Hong Kong is the 2nd most expensive city in Asia and the 5th most expensive city in the world to live in but does that make it expensive to travel?
We spent 3 days in Hong Kong and tracked every single expense to see just how much it really costs to travel Hong Kong. From accommodation to food to public transport to visiting some of Hong Kongs most popular attractions, like the peak tram and Tian Tan Buddha. We also got to experience Lunar New Year for the first time, see how it is celebrated by different groups and join in the celebrations including the new years parade and firework show

Great video, very concise!
Thanks :)
Thanks for another very informative video. I was surprised at the reasonable cost for your visit.
That’s very interesting to hear your perspective because at the time we felt it was very expensive but we’d just come from Vietnam so I think we’d just got used to very low prices. Now we’ve readjusted it seems a lot more reasonable
That's actually cheaper than I expected, especially for new years 😮
Oh really? I was actually surprised the other way but we had just come straight from Vietnam which is incredibly cheap!
How was it for accessibility?? It’s a place I’d love to visit x
Hong Kong is quite hilly so that was a bit challenging but in terms of infrastructure it was good. I don’t know if we were skewed because we came straight from Vietnam but it felt very accessible to us. I’d say out of everywhere we’ve been in Asia so far Hong Kong and Singapore are the most accessible. We’ve spent about 5 months in Asia and that hotel is one of only two where we’ve actually had an accessible room. The trains were level and had lifts most stations (although sometimes hard to find on street level), the tram is old and is not accessible, we didn’t use buses but I believe they are accessible. Lots of drop curbs, lots of disabled public toilets, not all entrances to shops/restaurants were level but a lot were. You also are given priority when queuing. There wasn’t anywhere we wanted to go that we couldn’t get to. Hope that helps :)
@@claireandcraigtravel that’s great thanks - omg I would love to spend a few months travelling Asia, what other parts have you spent time 🫶 x
We loved it, would highly recommend it if you get the chance!! :) We also went to Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore
