@@Angel-i3m8g I would suggest at least hk$500. You will literally use octopus card anything where in Hong Kong. Public transportation, convenience store/super market shopping etc. Hope you will have a nice stay!
In Hong Kong, there are add-value machines near the ticket machine in the subway station. Also, u can use cash to add value to the Octopus card in the convenience store (7-11 and Circle-K). The fare for one-way around HKD5-20 depends on the distance. @@Angel-i3m8g
@@Angel-i3m8g $500 is quite enough for everything for several days. It's not like mainland China you don't put every transaction in one card/phone app. You should prep a couple thousands of cash. A lot shops are still accepting cash only. The old traditional ways.

At 3:04 in this video, the shop's name is "廖孖記" (reading from left to right). The sign here indicates that "記孖廖" was the ancient format, (reading from right to left). This shop has been around for more than 100 years. During my childhood, I lived within a 3-minute walk from this shop. Now, even in Toronto, I still enjoy their fermented bean curd (腐乳). The price is even cheaper than in Hong Kong. Whenever I eat it, it always brings back my sweet childhood memories. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hi there I will be in Hong Kong next week and would love to go and eat there but I do not speak Cantonese ! so can you please write the name in English or how to find this place ? I would really appreciate it so much ;)
@69mstar69 I am very sorry to let you know that it is not a restaurant, may not even provide a small table for the customers. The shop just sell their own products, but they are very salty. You can not eat it without accompanying the rice together. We just use a very small amount when making the dishes. Anyway, Hong Kong has tens of thousands of delicious food. If this is the first time for you, it is better to try some variety of Chinese food. Personally, I would prefer the Cantonese food cause some Chinese food from the other province might be very spicy. Ask before you order.
You guys capture the essence of Kowloon very well. I look forward to the Hong Kong Island videos. BTW when I visted Hong Kong, my birthplace, I as well logged >20K steps almost everyday.
When I visited family in hk, my cousin would walk 20k steps a day easily! I kn the other hand from Australia, would get 3-5k steps a day 😢 it's no wonder hk has one of the healthiest and longest living populations in the world
Welcome to Hong Kong. The way you presented Hong Kong in your films is even more stunning and authentic than what we see here. It reminds us to pay closer attention to the people and things around us. We look forward to your continued introduction of Hong Kong.🥰
As being a Hong Kong citizen and a native street photographer, I really love the video, it is so energetic and beautiful from your recording, enjoy the city and the foods🎉

Discovered your channel recently while looking for info about Chongqing and absolutely love it. Welcome to Hong Kong, which has been home for 13 years, hope you enjoy it !

Thank you for the video. Two top tips for visitors from me: 1, Order a local SIMS from Klook( I have no commission) before you arrive and collect it from the kiosk at the airport. The staff will activate it for you if you ask. It is quite a fiddly process, and you will need your passport and wifi. 2, Get yourself an Octopus card as soon as you get to the MTR/subway/underground/train station and top it up with a few hundred dollars. You can use it as a wallet and pay for all public transport (except taxis) and it is accepted by most stores. Welcome to HK!
Amazing!Gosh I’d love to visit HK!1 of my best friend was is from NZ but was raised in HK and now lives in London she always talks so fondly about her growing in such an amazing environment and regularly takes her 3 little boys on holidays there sharing all her knowledge and excitement about this incredible city! We were going to go in 2020 but we all know what happened and still catching up with some aborted travel plans… 😞 Hopefully 🤞🏼 soon Loved it what a great introduction to HK I can’t wait to see next vlog 👊🏼👍🏼 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Thanks so much! We had such a great time I was so excited to go. Just released our second video today, hope you enjoy it. Ahhh I hope you get the chance to go soon, fingers crossed!
@@Nicofilms not watched it yet but I saw it I’m in middle of packing I’m saving your video for tomorrow travels 😜 you’ll know when I have 📝👩💻 I hate packing 🤯 My adhd flares up big time driving me mad
@@sabrinastraveladventures4263 Ahhh yeah good idea save it for when you can enjoy it. Yeah packing can be super stressful I feel you! Where are you going?
The Mirador building is very old but it is at a very central location of everything in the middle of Nathan road. So you can't expect much from hotel rental. Dim sum at some of these older restaurants next to the street is pretty good. But the problem is you usually have to share a table. Hong Kong is much more expensive if you compare to China. The Hong Kong side has more fancier restaurants. I think I saw a review of a little bao restaurant at Causeway Bay that looks interesting.
Yeah we can't knock the location it was perfect for us and only for one night. It wouldn't be very comfortable if you had a lot of stuff but we didn't. That's why we couldn't stay long we just couldn't really afford it.
That's actually a good observation of the details in MTR stations. Also very nice footages! Shouting out to Tranditional Chinese btw speaking as a Hong Konger.
I was really surprised in Mong Kok, in Hong Kong to see how many elderly exercising early morning. No where in Europe can see something similar … I posted also a video about it on my channel
Lovely! Memories galore, even if it was fifty years ago. Now, if only I can win the lottery and convince wifey to move from Hainan. On second thoughts, maybe just a visit would be enough, but it would have to be a long one.
Welcome to Hong Kong. Absolutely love dumplings with shredded pork. Absolutely something still has not changed since your last visit, still absolutely NO 24/7 public transportation. Looks like chili sauce over noodles? Next. I guess your 1ST time walking away from pizza. Hotels can still be found cheapOO for those few that do there homework and book in advance. Light show absolutely a must. If there’s nothing to wash the curry,down with then I would eat something else. Did they have lamb OR pork?? Absolutely Loved It // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish
OMGosh, u don't actually need physical ticket purchasing, there's Octopus (For metro, convenience stores and others in HK) ready to be used in Apple Wallet, iPhone, which is super handy, instead of redemption.
Hiiiii do you recommend Peking/Shangai city trip or Hong Kong. I wanna go to China and see the Chinese wall, culture,markets, streets, food. But Hongkong seems more vibrant amazing😅
Thank you for recording my hometown so beautifully and unique!! ❤❤❤😊

Hahahaha I know its all worth it in the end!
Can't wait for more HK videos!
Thanks! Just released the second one!
I enjoy Central HK but I much prefer to go to the out of the way places, Sha Tin, Tai Po, Diamond hill, Sai Kung etc. Great video.
I agree! Npong ping village is pretty cool too and the cable car ride is stunning
@@Zaynaaaaa - I will have to try that.
@@Zaynaaaaa Gotta check the schedule online though the cable car seems to like to go to maintenance quite often.

Tim Ho Wan is famous for tourists, but if you really want to try the best dim sum, you need to visit high-end dim sum restaurants.
I'm not sure we could afford that! 🙈

You guys made me sooooo homesick 😢 Glad you enjoyed Hong Kong ❤ Missed the Chang Fun so much 😋😋😋
Cheung Fun is really tasty. Locals like to order fish ball together too.
Hong Kong is the inspiration in the anime and movies Ghost In The Shell.

Thank you!!!
the making and editing of this video is stunningly good! I loved it!
Thank you so much!!
Welcome to Hong Kong🎉
Watching from HK 😅🎉❤
I can’t believe y’all eat so much and still look amazing!!
That's very kind I think its the 20,000 steps we do in each city haha
Hong Kong food is the best combination of Chinese and Western, I especially like the lemon tea there, preferably with more ice cubes and less sugar！
You must go hiking :) beautiful mountains
Hopefully next time!

Victoria harbour's night view used to be 10/10. I think it looks dull now because the vacancy rate is high, lots of office buildings are empty.
Yeah I heard it was better a few years ago.
I am living in Hong Kong. You may go hiking, the view is amazing

Tim Ho Wan has opened quite a bunch of branches in mainland China, too.

hong kong is an incredible city... mixture of modern and traditional
If I can turned back time, I'd suggest we go to Hong Kong in the 1970-2000. That's when Hong Kong was the most happening. 😊👍
