Our FIRST TIME in HONG KONG 🇭🇰 (This is INSANE)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- First Time in Hong Kong - Hong Kong functions as a special administrative region under China. This was our first time in Hong Kong and we were shocked by the vibrant energy pulsating through the crowded streets. Hong Kong is more than just a concrete jungle, it's a metropolis with diverse cultures, incredible food and lots of green space.

Brings back memories. HK is probably my favourite city in the world, it has everything!
We loved our time there 🥰
It has everything except freedom of speech
Albert I can’t agree more 🫶
@@albertma1 Don't worry. You still have freedom of speech.
welcome :) go 2 my house NOW.
Now you guys are in my city Hong Kong. I highly recommend you go to the Peak after 6:00 PM the night lights over Hong Kong are amazing. If you have time, go to the Stanley Market on the south side of Hong Kong Island. Take a bus from Exchange Square in Central take number 6 and also take a ferry at pier 5 to Discovery Bay. Hong Kong has over 200 islands
Thanks for the suggestions ☺️
Yes, the night views overlooking the city lights is breathtaking. 😊👍
HK is absolutely one of my fav city, a very good combination of the east and the west
Such an epic place we love it 🥰
Hainan Province, China, is visa-free, so you can visit without a visa. If your visa expires, you can go to Hainan, which is an island. Suitable for traveling, the weather is warm.
However you'll need a 3rd country/territory to leave mainland China first.
Entire Sanya area full of holiday resorts.
Sanya(Yalong bay and Haitang bay are so beautful ), Wanning (surfing and enjoy the blue sea), Qingshui bay, and the capital city Haikou which has a national volcano park there, and a pretty zoo with pandas, must a try.
Sounds good 👍🏻
@@sunkissedbucketlist Also Macao
Welcome to Hong Kong. Hope you enjoyed your stay! And our bubble tea didn’t disappoint!
都唔知有咩好饮
we have a better drink recently, pounded lemon tea. so good. i suggest a place called 有檸 in Causeway Bay. they're not a generic chain store and don't have any other branches. they also have a more local type of citrus called wampee which has a different but nice fragrance and taste.
Bubble tea all day everyday haha 😛
Very relaxing video
Welcome to hk!🎉 just a heads up, in hk we don't use "xiexie" as majority speaks cantonese but not mandarin, simply say "thank you" is really good enough!
Don't worry! Xie Xie works just fine in Hong Kong. We understand that perfectly.
@@rickycheung69 No it doesn't. Our language is dying, the Chinese is trying to kill the HK culture bit by bit. Please cherish our precious language and don't speak the China language in Hong Kong. We appreciate that a lot.
Say 'mm goi' or 'dor tse' please.
Nothing exciting so polluted
@@chiudaniel Hello Daniel: Quite a few Hong Kong locals say "thank you" in English to each other and I am sure some of our grandparents might thought the western culture "killed" the Chinese culture back in the colonial era. Time has changed and the culture of the city keeps evolving. I suggest you get used to it and adapt to the circumstances.
@@chiudaniel While I do agree that dialects/languages/cultures should be kept and protected, one should ask their people and government to do so, instead of forcing foreign travelers to speak one language while they already speak one that's totally understood by the people.
Hong Kong is really a very beautiful place with city, hills, beaches and sea. Welcome to Hong Kong! ❤
Welcome to HK! Been a big fan since your Shanghai videos. Hope to bump into you in HK if you’re still here and hope to see you guys check out more of China too!!
If u see us make sure to come say hello 🤩
Happy to run into this video, first time visiting your channel. Welcome to HK and happy you guys enjoyed it. It's funny you would say it's super busy and the streets are "buzzing", actually we are at our lowest busy levels we have ever been right now. You are supposed to have trouble getting through the streets at Tsim Sha Tsui lol
Welocome to our home Hongkong ~~ 😊
Thanks for this amazing video. The places you have visited reminds me of my childhood and teenage memories. I took the tram Ding Ding everyday when transporting to and from my elementary and high school. I love how vibrant, energetic and convenience Hong Kong is. I am glad you visited HK in January, the weather at this time is quite cool, not as hot and humid as the coming months will be, you can enjoy the outdoors more. I like this one hour video, I see you have put a lot of effort to film and edit to show the best side of HK to us. And the most important thing is, i can tell you two are really enjoying your stay in HK :) Can't wait to see more !!
We can’t wait to explore more 🥰
Hope you enjoyed the very unique country/region of Hong Kong! Truly a mix of the best of both East and West. Feel free to come back any time soon :)
Hong Kong was so much fun we loved it 🥰
Thank you for visiting Hong Kong and glad that you guys had fun! Welcome to come back anytime :)
Great video and welcome to Hong Kong😊
Thank you 🤩
Recommended by UA-cam to see your video and I am happy that you had a great time in Hong Kong! Recommend to visit the park in Tin Hau next time and you can have a better view with board skaters playing along next to you🎉
People in Hong Kong speak Cantonese, "xie xie" is actually mandarin. Please use "dor tse" instead of "xie xie". We would be really appreciated if we hear Cantonese from tourists ❤
Or you can speak in English to us. We are fine.
Don’t “Nei hai” us … that’s discrimination!
Don't worry! Xie Xie works just fine in Hong Kong. It's easier for foreigners to say so.
@@rickycheung69 ofcuz We understand xie xie but this is not how we say usually. It is just like you say arigatō to a Korean.
@@rickycheung69 logical fallacy
The best yet to come after sun set ... you guys need to explore Hong Kong night life!
Oh we’re looking forward to it 🤩🤩
thanks for visiting my home city 👍 Hong Kong is truly a vibrant & energetic city. I am sure you will enjoy the stay.
We’re loving it so far 🥰🥰
you must visit the West Kowloon Cultural District including the M+ Museum and the Palace Museum as well as the open space along the seashore just outside the district. Best to visit there near sunset. 👍
you can also consider to visit the Sky100 which is the sky terrace located at the 100th floor of the tallest building (108 storey / 484m / 1588ft) in Hong Kong - International Commerce Centre just next to the West Kowloon Cultural District to experience 360° views over the Hong Kong city & Victoria Harbour. 👍
Welcome to Hong Kong! 18:40, 47:14 & 3:22 even more beautiful at night! 😊 Have a nice trip! ❤
We would love to check these out at night 🤩
I am from Hong Kong , and I am very grateful to see your video about your journey ,yep,because Hong Kong is the international city in China,so it will be more apartments in the same area ,as a result hk population about 8 million ❤❤
Oh wow, welcome to my home town! Hope you guys enjoy/enjoyed HK!
We’re having the best time in HK 🥰
You guys should go to the horse racing event in Hong Kong 🐎
It’s happens every Wednesday night in “Happy Valley”. There are lots of foreigners go there (either expats or tourists). It’s very famous and crowded. You guys might love it.
Sounds like a plan 👍🏻
Your video is like your music you choose. Feel happy from start to end. Love u.
That’s how we felt, happy and excited 🥰🤩
Welcome to hk guys, following is a list of places you should check out if you have time:
1. Stanley Beach (hk side)
2. Temple street (Kowloon side)
3. Lantau Island
4. Sneakers street (Kowloon side)
5. Lan Kwai Fong (hk side)
6. Laser show at 8pm every night (anywhere near tst or hk harbour)
7. Ladies market (Kowloon side)
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions abt hk 😉
Enjoy!!!
Thanks for the recommendations 👍🏻☺️
Welcome to our compact but diversified and energetic city! Have a wonderful time and make some unforgettable memories! ❤
Thank you 🤩
Suggest doing a hike, perhaps Dragon’s Back in Shek O / Big Wave Bay area on the southeast side of HK Island. Also, take a ferry to one of the outlying islands such as Cheung Chau or Lamma Island. Ocean Park on HK Island near Aberdeen or Disneyland near the airport are nice too! Definitely head over the border to Shenzhen! Have fun, guys! Hope the weather gets better for you folks. Today’s weather in HK was gorgeous!
That sounds great, we’d love to check those hikes out! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️
Welcome to my hometown. I was there for a 3-week visit last September. Temperature >33° and humdity around 95% daily. You just get used to it.
It wasn’t too hot or humid right now 🤩
nice to watch your new video that make me to enjoy again
We’re glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Welcome to HK! Actually you missed the best lookout point at the peak. It’s only 5 min from the tram station, you would see unobstructed views (without that wildfire restaurant and the building constantly in your back) please try to go again at night, it’s so amazingly beautiful
Welcome to Hong Kong. I would suggest you to take the cable car ( 7th transport) to the Great Buddha. The view is amazing!!
Oh no way that would be amazing 🤩
Hi@@sunkissedbucketlist
Welcome to my hometown, hope you enjoy our local food
In HK, you may visit Cheung Chau Island for a fishing village vibe. And/or visit the Big Buddha riding the Ngong Ping 360 cable car.
Sounds good 👍🏻
You guys are full of energy! Unfortunately it's too late now. At 44:05, there is actually a tunnel underneath the mall (its carpark) that goes to the other side of the thoroughfare.
Welcome to HK! My office is just round the corner from where you had the dim sum lunch and I often get take away from there. Wish I knew you were coming and would have loved to meet you guys.
Great to see to see you're enjoying it here! Just a few things, the taxi's are all pretty new, not as new as the ones in China, the vast majority are Toyota Crowns, they just look old.....
It appears you arrived just after Chinese New Year here and many are still on holiday and the main business districts are still quiet, starting tomorrow, it will be much busier.
Getting across the road from the shopping mall to the harbour, actually there's a tunnel at the basement carpark of the World Trade Centre that take you to the harbour, where it exists is a cannon where Jardines will fire the noon-day gun every day! SO you may wish to make a trip there to see them fire it.
Travelling through HK, you could get an Octopus Card, similar to an Oyster Card, only capable of being used in just about all public transport, many fast food restaurants, convenience stalls, supermarkets, and many more and you can top them up at any convenience store, supermarket and many other stores. It's available from any MTR station and you can return it when you leave or keep it as a souvenir.
You'll need to go back to the peak and victoria harbour at night, the views are absolutely stunning. At 8pm every night there is a light show and if you watch from the kowloon side of the Star Ferry, you will get the accompanying music from the area by that big clock tower. Oh, BTW, it's not a light house at the top, the location used to be the railway terminus, when they demolished it, they kept the clock tower.
With a 3 month visa you've plenty of time to visit HK, and you should go to some of the temples in Kowloon and New Territories, namely Wong Tai Sin Temple in Kowloon and Che Kung Temple in Shatin, both have their own MTR Stations. Both of these are commonly visited at this time of the year.
Oh no way! That would be so cool to meet you! Thank you so much for all the tips and recommendations, it’s super helpful to us! We already can’t wait to come back to Hong Kong 🤩
After HK you should visit Macau. Love watching all your videos. Have a great time in HK. Take care! Cheers!
Would love to visit macau too 🥰
I recommend you should visit horse racing events in Hong Kong. There are free beers and live band on every Wednesday in Shatin.
Free beer and we don’t have to place any bets on the horses? That’s a no brainer lol 😂
As a Hongkonger, sometimes it is hard for me to appreciate our city due to the high-pressured environment. Thanks for your video! It makes me viewing my hometown in a new perspective. ❤
I like the background music you used for your videos. Very upbeat and happy 😃
That’s how we felt that day, energetic and upbeat 🤩🤩
love seeing u get excited at the smallest thing, u guys r living life the right way id say
No doubt it is a exciting city for travellers.
Next stop please go to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, then next maybe go to Zhuhai and Macao!
Would love to 👍🏻
Say Hi to you guys.Thanks for loving HK so much.
HK was so cool we can’t wait to return 🤩🤩
Smaller red taxis old style, but not necessarily really old, It is also an eco-friendly gas taxi.
Eco friendly is the way to do it 👍🏻
較小的紅色計程車(的士)是新車，我老伴在大公司退休後，現在每週揸三天，小計程車，的士司機行內，叫它做小路寶，坐位不窄
your enthusiastic energy is contagious! Keep it up!
It’s all the delicious food we’ve been eating haha 🤣
Lovely lovely lovely. Hv you been out 2 a.m. and feel absolutely safe ? That is Hong Kong.
HongKong more clean, safe n sound n peaceful today than before British rule.
That’s great to hear 🤩👍🏻
Don’t you see many China man and woman pee in the street?
😅😅😅😅😅
Wow😮, when I saw you leant out the window of the tram saying hello to HK my heart jumped , please don't do it again for the trams and double decker bus would have come across so fast and close to each other❤
great video,
You gotta go to Macao next
Cheers
We’d love to! Thanks a lot ☺️
Welcome to Hong Kong. when you taking ding ding, have you try step twice on the "button" next to pedal under the wheel, it is actually a "car horn" with ding ding sound, that is why it call ding ding
Oh no way we had no idea haha 😛
Welcome to HK, enjoy your trip. Ding Ding Trams charges one fixed price no matter where you get on and where you get off. 😊
It’s a easier place to explore in China, locals have certain level of English ability to communicate.
Haha yeah we realised it’s fixed no matter where you come off but it’s so cool, we enjoyed it every single time 🥰🤩
You had to get the ice-cream. Its iconic. Started by two British guys, I think ex-army.
If you are here for a few days, it is probably easier to get an octopus card from any mtr station. You will need to pay a $50 deposit, but you can get the deposit back when u leave. Just return to any mtr station. Or at the airport.
Thanks so much, that’s super helpful to know ☺️
This is just the way i like your video, so good
There was an entrance to get over the road, a truly worthy go to check out the canon launcher
thx for visiting hk, being hkonger, we welcome u😍😍
Welcome to Hong Kong 😊
must be off season because that's not the hk I remember lol. it's usually packed everywhere. good thing you checked it out in the winter because it's horrible in the summer heat and humidity. hk, aka cantonese food is probably my favorite among the chinese cuisines. on the flip side, all the good restaurants are usually packed and you have to share tables which is kind of weird if you are not use to it :D
Not many mainlanders coming anymore and more hongkongers going up to Shenzhen particularly on weekends.
Off season? We still think this was busy lol anything more would have been too much 🤣
Lots have changed in HK...
I am waiting for you to show me most of UK, Canada and the USA. You are both amazing and incredible couples that can almost be considered Asians too haha! I love both of you. Enjoy, take care and have lots of fun! Rarely see people enjoy Asia so much 😂! I want to see you in other continents too. Good job!
I don't need to travel anymore after travelling with you together on UA-cam lol! Thank you so much!
Welcome to Hk🥰❤️❤️Hope you enjoy your trip
You guys are in HK! Here is a useful Cantonese phrase, “mm goi”. 唔該， Means thank you.
Mm goi my friend 🤩✌🏻
Happy trip , enjoy ❤
Never miss roast goose and Dim Sum in Hong Kong!! Go either Kam’s Roast Goose or Yung Kee. For Dim Sum there many good places.
We would love to try the goose here 🥰
Dude, I can't believe you went to the Peak and didn't go to the pagoda for the best view of HK...also you are dipping your dim sum in the tea cups :)
Oh no we’re going to have to check it out next time hehe 😛 as for the teacup and dim sum, we’re starting a new trend 😂😂😂
using a chopsticks is always challenging for me.most of the time,it's the stick that I tasted first instead of the food.
U have to go easy on the stick next time Paul… lol 😂
Welcome to Hong Kong! Try Tai O & the Big Buddha in the Lantau Island! You will see a very different side of HK! Enjoy!
Thanks for the suggestions 🥰
Since you are in HK, you might want to reenter China by Guangchou and travel southwards towards Guiling, great landscape, breathtaking. I am sure you are not done with China. Back north there is the avartar mountains then you have Xian, Kunming, Dali and the Himalayas where you can go some distance by cable cars and hike up the stairs. And in Yunan, there is the famous Tiger leaping gourge and other than that Yunan has one of the most breathtaking landscpe in the country side. Happy Adventure! Just a few suggestions since you are near to China. You might not be sure when you can have a chance for another trip if you left that area now, Just making the best and planning well!
Of course we’d love to return to China in the future! Thanks for all the suggestions ☺️
excellent video ❤❤❤
8:06 The clock tower was part of the old train terminal.
Wow in HK, you can go Shenzhen (China Silicon Valley) for 5 days visa on arrival 130RMB per person, it is right next to HK can take the MTR.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
Welcome to HK🎉❤
I would take the tram up to The Peak and back down on bus instead, more pleasant and trilling.
The property prices at the estate agent were 7.8 million and 10 million HKD
Yeah we realised haha 😛
My all time favourite. Wish I could move back!
Wellcome
HAHAHAHA Fantastic view beside bakery store 31:53 :D
Welcome to HK❤
Hey guys, welcome to my city, that is where I live and work, Tsim Sha Tsui🎉🎉🎉
Hello and thank you 🤩
This clip is very well made .
Enjoy the delicious food in hk!!
It’s been really good 😊
Your video in relaxing style
Its huge cutyand has a huge population. Sometimes it going t9 be noisy. Get used to it !
It's been a loooong time since I was in Hong Kong, like 45 years! before all the skycrapers, it certainly as changed !
Must have been a different feeling back then 🤩
being a HK citizen hong kong is welcome you
You should go to the peak at evening....!
Do your remember if it was a week day you visited the peak as looks much quieter than at weekend ?
wow welcome to HK! I'm a local 😊 ask me anything if needed
Thank you 🤩
One of the biggest misperceptions about HK is that "only concrete", HK is actually covered with greens, 80%, actually higher than most places in the world
That’s so cool 🤩
Saludos desde la República Dominicana. Pueden visitar el Museo de Bruce Lee!
Hello! And yes that sounds great 👍🏻
19:24 you guys miss out very important part to visit up there
Wax museum of international legend celebrities
It’s just next to the cable car station
There’s the centre inside have some souvenirs shops and fun take photos area too 😂
Do you know how to distinguish between those who are Hong Konger and those who are Chinese?
Time flies too fast, and if you guys have another three weeks, I suggest both of you take a walk around Xinjiang and Tibet.
Would love to 👍🏻
Was in Hong Kong in 1996, too fast pace and expensive, just stayed for 3 days. Then me and my ex went to Macau and stayed and worked there for more than a year. Macau was more laid back those days and not expensive but now it is almost as fast pace and expensive like HK
Ah wow ok, we thought they would be a little similar in terms of pace ☺️
@sunkissed not sure if someone has posted this or if you knew already, planes used to fly between the skyscrapers when landing at the old airport. There is vid on UA-cam showing it. Could look out of window and see the windows of the buildings.
Whattttt! No way! That’s insane, we’re gonna go check it out now 🫣😃
Love it. ❤
Another great option to get to the Peak is … walking up! It’s rather easy and the walk is really nice … all paved, lots of shade and fantastic views of the harbour. Not to mention a great workout before another delicious meal. 😂
Sounds rather challenging 😂
Just wanna mention that Hong Konger mainly speaks in Cantonese which is different from Mandarin in China
Welcome to Hong Kong
Many delicious food in HK😊😊
It really is! 🤩
welcome to hong kong
WELCOME
welcome to hong kong again🎉
