- The Best View in Hong Kong
Join us as we hop over to Hong Kong to explore the bustling city, and tell you some tips and tricks that the locals won’t tell you. 🤫
This is the second vlog in our latest Hong Kong series and covers the second day of our travels in the vibrant mega city. Today we are checking out the best views and photography locations in HK starting with a hike up Braemar Hill. This hike is a hidden gem- where most tourists would recommend Victoria Peak, the locals recommend Braemar Hill and it is easy to see why. This hike has the best panoramic views of the city and mountains with hardly any tourists: if you want to get the views we got, be prepared to climb over boulders and head off the beaten track.
Another great photo location is Kennedy Town- with its colourful buildings, basketball courts, and views of the sea, it’s a great place to capture the pastel colours of the trams in a Studio Ghibli style vibe. Near the metro station, through a basketball court, you’ll find the best place to take photos down the street into the sea. There are some cafes and restaurants in the area too which makes it a great place to stop for some lunch. For coffee, we recommend %arabica on the waterfront, however this was very busy with fashion photographers so we gave it a miss.
We can’t mention the breathtaking views of Hong Kong without visiting the famous Victoria Peak. To get to the top you can get the bus for just. Over $11, or you can take the tram: be prepared to wait at least an hour for the tram so I recommend the bus. The hike here is fairly flat and the paths smooth, making it a great alternative to Braemar Hill for those with lesser mobility.
The nightlife in Hong Kong is just as vibrant as Shanghai, with a famous bar street: Lan Kwai Fong. We then took the Star Ferry across the water to the waterfront promenade to see the nightlights of the skyscrapers reflected in the water. We used this location to redeem our 100HK$ gift cards at Kbar in the stunning K11 mall. This was a highlight of our trip.
Whilst in Hong Kong I recommend stopping by the sculpture at Golden Bauhinia Square which is an import symbol for Hong Kong people after the handover.
If you have WeChat, you can claim HK$100 gift card upon arrival into West Kowloon Station. From SIM cards to Octopus cards and more, there are lots of little tips and tricks to save money here in Hong Kong.

亲爱的友友们，快来加入我们一起探索香港🇭🇰这座繁华的都市吧。我们将偷偷告诉你们一些实用的tips和技巧，这些将极大程度上提高你们的旅行体验。
这是我们最新香港系列中的第二个是视频，囊括了我们在这座活力四射的大都市第二天的见闻。今天我们要从徒步登上宝马山开始，去探寻香港最美两岸风光和绝佳观景点。宝马山似乎是一个隐藏场景，因为绝大数游客都会推荐太平山顶，可以看到九龙景观。但是宝马山却可以同时看到九龙以及香港岛，真的绝美！这段徒步中，几乎看不到游客。如果你也想欣赏我们所看到的景色，请准备爬过巨石和穿梭丛林。
另一个绝佳的拍照地点是坚尼地城。这里有色彩缤纷的建筑、篮球场以及果冻蓝海景。属于坚尼地城最佳的观景点是从地铁C出口沿着台阶一直到一片篮球场，然后篮球场中的左手边就能找到一个包含叮叮车、大海、穿梭人群以及街边小店坐落在高低有秩的绝佳观景台。这个地方本身就是居民区，当然也有很多美食和咖啡馆。有一家海边的咖啡店叫arabica%，但是我们抵达时已经被挤得水泄不通。如果你想去喝杯咖啡，看看大海，一定要错峰出行喔。
不来太平山，怎么能说来过香港。相信很多视频或者攻略都推荐大家坐观光缆车，且不说价格要80-90HKD，排队上下山也得两三个小时，性价比很低。我们是选择在中环香港站坐小巴1路去到山顶广场站，全程约40分钟，还可以在沿山公路上看到更多的环山风光。到山顶广场站还可以去再步行环山，最佳观景点在卢吉道。由于我们去当天在维修山路，所以也失之交臂了，但是值得一见。
说到魅力四射的大都市，总归会有一条知名海外的酒吧街。我们探寻了兰桂坊，随后坐天星小轮从中环到尖沙咀，缓缓走过海滨长廊，海风拂拂，看着摩天大楼的夜光倒影在海中摇曳。注意注意：各位小伙伴还记得我们在上一集中领的100HKD礼品卡嘛？我们选择了在K11购物中心的Kbar兑换了两杯鸡尾酒，并看到了绝美的中环夜景。非常感谢香港政府！
如果你有港澳通行证（相信你已经有微信了）或者外国人需要护照以及通关小白条（一定要下载微信喔），即可抵达西九龙站去领取100港币的礼品卡。你们可以关注我们的下一集看看我们是怎么超值使用这个礼品卡的。从手机卡到八达通等等，在香港真的有太多太多省钱的小技巧啦！

Hong Kong is a nice city❤
I agree ☺️❤️
宝马山 yyds！景色绝美
Nice views. Can see another side of Hong Kong.
M & S for breakfast in Hong Kong, dear oh dear! Breakfast or brunch in Hong Kong are rice congee or dim sum. And pizza 🍕 in Hong Kong, dear oh dear! Hong Kong's Cantonese cuisine is a must when in the city, and yes, every lunch and every dinner.
Very pleased to see lives in Hong Kong have returned to normal after those turbulent few years.
Love your channel, always enjoy watching your videos.
Hahah I know it’s bad 😂 We eat dim sum and noodles and congee and Chinese food all the time in Shanghai and this day we were both really missing English (or western) food. Where we live in Shanghai we can’t order western food because we are too far out of the city so the pizza and M&S were a holiday treat for us. Don’t worry, the next travel vlogs we eat lots of local foods ❤️
I like the HK city , even it's a small area
Looks amazing, I am planning a trip to HK in December!
You’ll have a great time! 🥰
Hong Kong looks pretty cool! My husband and I want to travel there in May :)
It’s beautiful! ❤️

Those neon lights at nighttime are always so cool to view! As much as I appreciate what they do to control the mosquito population, I probably would've gotten both spiders out of their webs with a rock then stepped on them lol. The fries you've shown in past videos always have looked so appetizing. This time, though, and for that price even with everything else included, I hope they tasted much better than they looked 😂
😂😂 These spiders were bigger than my hand, there’s no way I was going to get close enough to step on one hahaha. Enough to make me run in the other direction 😂
Hello from Oamaru Sth island New Zealand.
May i ask what is required to enter Hong Kong for a 5 day visit?. How much money do you need?
Hello! I’m not sure about a NZ citizen but for the UK I didn’t need a visa, just my passport. I recommend checking your government website for entry requirements for HK. Our whole trip cost just under 3000 HKD for two of us for two days including accommodation. We didn’t do any paid tourist attractions for if you plan to visit Disney or take cable cars etc then your budget would need to be higher. Also we tried to stay in a cheap Airbnb rather than a hotel to keep costs down and ate simple meals rather than at top restaurants to keep to our budget. We also walked everywhere or took the bus rather than taxis as that can increase your costs quickly. Over the next few weeks I will post a full itinerary video including all the costs of our trip. I think 1000HKD per person per day is a good amount of money, you may be able to save some money to splurge on a nice dinner on the last day but accommodation will be a big part of your budget. We only took 1000HKD as spending money for the two days and ran out on the last day (we had to have McDonald’s for dinner because it’s all we could afford hahaha).
how can i go to the 1st photo spot. where is it? it's very beautiful

I'm from a Southeast Asian country. Do you like Southeast Asia? Have you ever been to Southeast Asian countries? Such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia
I have been to Thailand and Indonesia each once, and Singapore and Malaysia many times. I really love this part of the world. I haven’t been the the Philippines yet but home to go one day! ❤️
