The Asian city I have been to the most. Love Hong Kong!!!
It is such an amazing place!! Thanks so much for watching :)
多謝你愛香港
（thx for loving Hong Kong)
love Hong Kong from Hong Kong🇭🇰❤❤❤
There are Filipino and Indonesian maids in the tent. Since most employers give them Saturday and Sunday off, they spend it with their colleagues. There are more than 300,000 domestic helpers in Hong Kong. Due to the large number of people, they can be seen singing and dancing in the streets every Saturday and Sunday.
That makes sense! We were so curious about it! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Yup, confirmed. These are domestic helper employees on their day off. They especially like to gather in Central on Hong Kong Island.
As well as Victoria Park in Causeway bay.
Some are becoming very enterprising they sell stuff in the market!

Welcome to Hong Kong. I am happy that you enjoy the days in Hong Kong.
Thank you so much! We love it 🇭🇰
Glad you like HK. Hope this video encourages more foreigners to come visit us!❤
We hope so too! It is a wonderful place ♥️ thank you for watching!
I'm from Hong Kong but havent been back for 8 years. I miss HK so much. I love how passionate you guys are with HK

Welcome to Hong Kong 🎉❤
Thank you so much!! We love it here 🇭🇰
Thank you for all your compliments to my home, Hong Kong 🇭🇰 🫶🏼 I am happy that you two had an enjoyable stay, though the weather that time was a bit chilly and wet 😅
We had a wonderful time!! Thank you so much for watching :)
Welcome to my city. Hope you guys had wonderful and enjoyable experiences 😊
It is such a beautiful place! Thank you so much for your warm welcome :)
So glad you guys went there in winter！Cause Hong Kong’s heat is unbearable for 80% of the year
Yes thankfully the weather was great while we were there 🙌🏼 thanks for watching!
That was most likely a Sunday and that's when all the domestic helps from Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, etc, are hanging out on the streets.
Ahhh that makes sense! We were so curious! Thanks so much for the information :)
They have a day off each week , so they will gather together and have fun and will be singing, praying together.
Hong Kong, as a former British colony, uses the British three-pin electric plug (type G), the same as some other former British-ruled regions (notably Ireland, Malta, Singapore and Kenya).
That makes sense!! Thanks for the information friend :)
Welcome to Hong Kong. Glad you enjoyed it, hope you will come to Hong Kong again.❤🎉
It is such a wonderful place!! Thanks so much for watching friend!🇭🇰
I'm from Hong Kong and welcome you here. I personally think that although prices in Hong Kong are generally more expensive, there is still a lot worth visiting and experiencing here.❤Anyway, I hope you have a pleasant trip and experience
次回もぜひお越しください❤
Thank you so much for your warm welcome! ♥️
As someone who is from Hong Kong 🇭🇰,I’m so proud that you guys like it!

Welcome to HK 😊
Thank you so much :) we love it!
Glad you enjoyed it. The colors are stunning. Stay safe guys. 💗
The colors are so pretty!! Thanks ♥️
I wonder if their temperature is similar to ours this time of year. I know it varies here a lot. But averages. Here in the northeast it has been very mild. Then yesterday it felt like “winter arrived”. It was freezing cold.
Just curious what it’s like there. You looked so cold Jenny. Then the rain. And the boat ride. Oh my gosh I was freezing for you. 😀 🥶 Loved the video guys. 💗
Love the way you explore the city ! I've never seen anyone introducing HK Park in UA-cam😆
Welcome to HK!
It was such an amazing place!! So green and pretty. Thank you so much friend :)
Just came across this video so fun to watch!
We were there last year can’t wait to go back! Love your vibes! ❤
We are so happy you enjoyed it!! We had such a good time there. Thanks friend ♥️
Looks like this will be a great trip! love hearing the public transport is so easy to use!!
Yes it was super convenient!! Thanks for your comment friend :)
The ferry is a very nice journey! You need to come visit again and do the ferry ride! And go hiking if you love nature!
We definitely will! Thanks for the recommendation :)
I’ve been many places in the world. I love Hong Kong the best.
It is a wonderful place :) thanks for watching!
Welcome to HK❤love ur energy❤Hope u guys had a amazing journey❤
Thank you so much!! We love it ♥️
Love your guys' energy! Welcoem to HK.
Thank you so much friend :)
On Sunday, basically all Philipine maids have a day off. They will get together in the Central and some other locations having a good time.
Ahh that makes sense!! Thanks for the information :)
Welcome to HK~~
It is so glad to hear you have great time in Hong Kong
We had a wonderful time! Thanks for watching :)
So glad you love my home town!
It is amazing!! Thank you so much for watching :)
Hope you guys will have time to visit one of our beautiful and well-maintained hiking trails. HK is not just about delicious food or fancy high end shopping malls … We have many beautiful country parks with world class hiking trails where international trail running races are held. And the best part is you can get back to the city centre within 40 to 60 minutes after a good hike for some delicious dimsum. 😋 That’s the characteristics of HK … Diversified, efficient, compact … and most importantly, safe.
It is such a wonderful place! It has everything a place needs! 😍
@@JacobandJennyTravel ❤️ Thank you for visiting our beautiful city! Your positive energy is infectious … It’s a joy watching you guys. 😃
this is first time ever i heard a tourist said hk is Huge 😂. i love it. welcome to hk. wish u have good days. 😊
If you compare Hong Kong to other cities, instead of countries, Hong Kong is not small.
It's Half of Tokyo. 70% of London.
@@li_tsz_fung those sizes of tokyo n london u compare with are urban or developed areas. but in hk, only 25% of land is developed while other 75% are reserved for country parks n protected areas. this is relatively much smaller even compare with singapore.
Hahaha! It did feel very big to us! Thanks so much for watching :)
@@taimanchan3395 Your information is no exactly correct. The size of the whole area of Singapore including land and water is 734.3 km2. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's total is 2,754.97 km2, making it 275.183% larger than Singapore.
@@yuetkukoihoje my info. is exactly correct. according to hklandsdept. data, hk total land area 1114.57 km^2, in which only 25% 278.64 km^2 developed. while singapore total area 728 km^2 land area 98.57% 717.58 km^2（wiki data）in which 75% 538.19 km^2 developed. that is 1.93 times of hk developed area！ if in this case, hk is even smaller n condensed than the gaza strip of palestine which is 365 km^2 n population of 2 millions . pls read carefully n do your homework before making any comment.
Great video to show good side of Hong Kong
It is a beautiful place! Thank you so much for watching :)
Last year, you guys inspired me to make a solo trip to vietnam, which I did. This year, my 1st solo trip to H.K. in July, and boom! There you are, guys! Beat me to it again. It's a great guide video as usual. Let's see what's brewing next year. Cheers! Love from Singapore.
Wow reading your comment made our day!! Hearing about your travels inspires us so much to keep making videos, thank you so much for sharing that with us! We will be back in Singapore soon too 🇸🇬♥️ We hope you have an amazing trip to Hong Kong!
July is a bit hot in Hong Kong and always have typoon, not the best weather to visit. Better visit between September to April.
Yes, there are still lots to visit in my crazy city. The hustle and bustle of the city, outlying islands...All nice.
We agree!! Thanks for your comment :)
Welcome to hk😊😊
If you have time, go for a short hike and you will be even more surprised.
You can actually walk all the way to Victoria peak from the tram/bus station, in about an hour, and you will love it.
We read HK has amazing hikes!! Thanks for the information :)
Welcome to Hong Kong and enjoy your trip in this tiny and dense city.
It is such a wonderful place! Thanks so much for watching :)
Thank you for coming to Hong Kong. I am glad you found here a nice place to visit. It is nice you can Introduce your family and friends to travel here. And of course we welcome you to visit again.
It is an amazing place! We can't wait to come back :)
Welcome to Hong Kong! 😊
Thank you so much 🇭🇰
Octopus card is not only used for public transport but for shops and most restaurants as well
You are so right!! Thanks for watching :)
I loved your video. I haven't been to Hong Kong yet. Will be there in May this year. Been spending months researching and getting prepared. I live in Australia and have been planning a Disneyland trip to Hong Kong & Shanghai for my wife's birthday@@JacobandJennyTravel
@Shaboh1060 that’s awesome!! We are actually posting our Hong Kong video this week so hopefully you’ll enjoy that as well :)
Also for parking meters, all public transport; minibus, ferries, MTR, buses, 7-Eleven, Circle-K, most eateries, even some of the vendors in the wet market too. But not taxis...yet.
@@jimwoo9552 thanks for that. How are the ATMs. OK for withdrawing from Travel Cards?
Hello, welcome to Hong Kong. I’m a bird lover. There are many kinds of birds in HK. You can find birds everywhere. I love HK amazing place.
Thank you so much! We love it 🇭🇰 it was so cool to see all the birds!
Welcome to my home, Hong Kong. I hope you enjoy this place. Thank you for your good vibes. Keep up your good works.
Thank you so much! We love it 🇭🇰
Welcome to HK!
Thank you so much! We love it :)
Welcome to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Really cool! It would be very interesting to see Hong Kong in the real life some day. In the past I had a friend who was a journalist and originally from Chicago, but had lived there for years. Later he moved to Russia, but unfortunately I don't have had any contact with hin for years and I don't know where he is now. We met many times in Finland long time ago.
Wow that is so interesting! It really is an incredible and interesting place, we didn’t expect there to be so much nature. Thanks for your comment friend :)
Head on over, you'll love Hong Kong!
I'm from Hong Kong, and welcome to Hong Kong 🎉
Thank you so much! It is a wonderful place 🇭🇰
I am enjoying to watch this video and how you guys so enjoy the food and everything in HK. Hope could see you guys visit us soon ❤🎉😊
We are so glad you are enjoying it! We loved Hong Kong 🇭🇰 thanks for your comment!

welcome to HK
Thank you so much! We love it 🇭🇰
Welcome to Hong Kong.
I born in Hong Kong and living here siince 50's. We've always said that HK is a fortune place and is a unique place to China.
We loved it!! Such a wonderful place! Thanks so much for watching :)
beautiful HongKong ^^ beautiful #Taiwan Province
We love Hong Kong and can’t wait to see Taiwan next :) thanks so much for watching friend!
In the temple where people were shaking the wooden sticks until one falls out after which they take them to fortune teller to be interpreted. It’s very interesting they have books that are consulted.
That is very interesting!! Thanks for the information :)
Welcome to hong kong
Thank you so much :) we love it!
Guys .. that was just epic 🙏 haven't ever seen much of Hong Kong.. such a beautiful city .. and all that green space as well .. absolutely beautiful 🥰🥰
The green spots made us fall in love with it!! We never thought Hong Kong would be so green! Thank you for watching as always ♥️♥️
Welcome to Hong Kong ! 🎉 The scenery you shoot is just amazing!
That's probably a Sunday or afternoon in which most of the domestic helpers are enjoying their time with friends at their day off.
I'm sure you can plan for some hiking here as there are so many greenery routes.
One place I recommend for you is the 'Kowloon Walled City' at Kowloon side (It's a tourist spot and is located in Kowloon City area). I guess you may like it.
Thank you for coming over and having a good time here😀It's just great and warm to watch people from other places all over the world to film those familiar places in my own home City. Thank you so much for coming❤
welcome to Hong Kong
Thank you so much!! We love it 🇭🇰
@@JacobandJennyTravel if you or your family want to visit Hong Kong again, we love you give you some advice
Welcom to Hong Kong. Every place in Hong Kong become very beautiful under your shooting with thanks. You will find many beautiful scenes when you hiking in either Hong Kong Island or Kowloon side. Maybe next time. 🫰
We for sure need to do that! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Loved your trip to the aviary. Do you recommend it & did you see any flamingos? Like seeing the food choices
Yes we highly recommend it! We had a great time there and it was free. We didn’t end up seeing the flamingos but I’m sure if we stayed longer we could have seen them :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel FYI, if you would like to see gang of flamingos, it's better to go to visit Kowloon Part at Tsim Sha Tsui next time.
Wow, I've been in Hong Kong my whole life and never visited these beautiful gardens. I really need to find some time to go 😂
Hahah!! You definitely should :) thanks for watching friend!
FYI, there is another park between the Wong Tai Sin Temple 黃大仙廟 and the Chi Lin Nunnery 志蓮淨苑 (that place with the pond and lotus flowers you visited at Diamond Hill) for which is called Fung Tak Park 鳳德公園. The theme for Fung Tak Park is based on the famous Chinese novel 西遊記 (The Journey to the West). Inside there is an attraction called Cave of Water Curtain 水簾洞 , it's beautiful.
Wow that is great to know! Thank you for the information :) it sounds amazing!
I like Hong Kong, very convenient from cities to the green. You work hard on weekdays to make money and then enjoy countryside life on weekends. Go to Sai Kung you will find that it is very leisurable area, not hustle and bustle at all and it's very green there. Low salary tax rate , about 15%, is also one of the factors why so many expatriates they stay here. However, the real estate price is stunning. It's hard to make both ends meet.
It is very nice to have both the city and countryside! Hong Kong does that very well. Thank you for the information and for all your comments :)
Best month for hang outdoor in HK are Oct n Nov that’s the Autumn! The weather is perfect if no typhoon 😂
That is great to know! Thanks for the information :)
I also love 💕 Hong Kong 🇭🇰
It is such a wonderful place ♥️
Definitely mind-blowing. Fell in love with those dazzling skyscrapers in the clouds. Worth visiting.
It is an amazing place! Thanks for watching :)
Very close to HK Park is the HK Botanical Garden which is also free entrance. Take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui where the Kowloon Park is and you’ll find a lot of very beautiful flamingos 🦩 there … FREE again! 😂❤
That is so amazing!! We can't believe that all these amazing things are free in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 thank you for your comment!
@@JacobandJennyTravel Preciously most of the public parks in Hong Kong are free for entrance.
Thanks for coming to HK! ‘Btw it’s actually MTR
Thanks for the information :)
Wow, I live in Diamond hill lol, should’ve seen this video earlier haha 😂
Haha! That is awesome! Thanks for watching :)
As a native chinese in hong kong, I welcome you two to the city, it is one of the best and I call it home. If you have time, go to aberdeen harbour which has remnants of the old fishing village that hk was known for. There are tours in old fishing boats to learn about some fishermen's story, and you'll have the best seafood. My dad side grew up there and there's a youtube channel called michael rougge who documented 80s hk where there were still large boat people there if you're interested. Truly a fascinating place!!!
Thank you so much for your warm welcome and interesting information about your dad and the fishing village :) cheers friend!
If you have an I phone , you can just add octopus transit card to your Apple wallet , in this case you don’t have to carry /exchange that much cash . Btw much better xchange rate too
That is si great to know! Thanks for the information :)
It's funny to hear you say HK is huge! most people think (or being educated) that HK is small! nice video BTW, by a Hong Konger :)
Haha! Thanks for watching :)
The tents are mostly Filipino maids hanging out with their friends having a break on usually Saturday and Sundays
Thanks so much for the information :)
The K11 mall is indeed the fanciest mall that I've ever been to. You 2 went to many places in HK
So fancy!! There was truly so much to see there. Thanks for all your nice comments :)
I’m from hk and they are hanging out
It is a great place :)
Oh you skipped the Octopus! What an adventure! (Not recommended from my point of view... Haha...). But hope you've enjoyed the place here!
Yeah it for sure would have been helpful to have haha! But we still had a wonderful time! Thanks for watching :)
Those people in the street with card board and tent are Philippino maids, they like to gather together in the street only on Sundays coz it's their holiday.
Ahh that makes sense! Thanks for the information :)
Foreign Domestic Helpers is the proper term, or just 'Helpers'. Predominantly from the Phillipines and Indonesia, population ~350,000. Sunday is their day off and they congregate mainly in Central and Cuasewayh Bay.
@@jimwoo9552 Vow, amazing, so political correct. No more man no more woman no more mom no more father. Happy, eh?
OMFG i couldn't stop smiling watching this. This is why I want to move and raise my family in hong kong. I love nature, mountain, and international hub cities. Housing is very expensive but taxes and capital gain taxes are low. Retirement isn't bad too
Aw this comment made us smile!! We are so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching :)
welcome to hong kong my UA-cam Channel
Thank you so much :) we love it!
Hk is the best place I reckon, compact and convenience, that’s why I live here 😂
It is such a great place :) how great you get to live there! Thanks for watching!!
Should have stayed in Tuen Mun Gold Coast for one night if you are in to beaches and suburban area
That is great to know for next time! Thanks for watching :)
這裡的東西都很貴It’s very expensive that buying stuffs
What month did you guys travel in HK?
In March! Just a week ago :) thanks for watching!
I am from hk but it is boiling there it is almost up to 50 degrees but I love Hong Kong
Thankfully it wasn't too hot when we were there haha!! Thanks so much for watching! We love Hong Kong🇭🇰
While enjoying the unique blend of natural view and city. The landscape is mostly because the government do not have enough flat land to build houses.
And now they are trying to build in country parks and international-recognised wetlands. The dilenma between city and countryside is complicated.
Oh wow! Thanks for the information!
I’m HK
I live in Hong Kong
That is awesome! We love it🇭🇰
HK is one of the cities in China. There are more to see in other cities in China. Each city and province is so unique. You will definitely like them. Really like yr introduction of the food, makes me hungry.
The food was so delicious!! Thanks so much for watching :)
I’m from Hong Kong

Don’t you think HK is so crowded?
So parts were and some parts were not!! Just like most big cities! Thanks for watching :)
Hong Kong is so overcrowded and one of the noisiest and busiest place on earth😫!!
In the city center it was very busy but we tried to step outside of the direct center and see the mountains and the gardens! We hope you are doing well friend! It is nice to hear from you! :)
Lol 😆
