My first time in Hong Kong! What a city! Hong kong is often called the New York of Asia and now I totally understand why.

Hong Kong is also called "Vertical City", because it has the highest number of skyscrapers in the world.

We will check out the most popular things to do in Hong Kong: Tsim Sha Tsui, Avenue of stars, Bruce Lee statue, Crossing to Hong Kong island, Central Hong Kong, Hong Kong park, The Peak tram, the peak viewpoint, Food in Hong Kong, Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin temple, nightlife in Hong Kong and finally the Symphony of lights.

I will also answer the question: Is Hong Kong part of China?

Let me know down below your thoughts about Hong Kong. Have you been here? Are you planning to visit?

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻 🇭🇰

Best,
Gabi

    Things I recommend tourists do in HK: 1) the West Kowloon Cultural District, one of the biggest arts districts in the world, has great views of the skyline, parks, cafes, restaurants, world-class museums, etc. 2) one of HK's beautiful beaches such as Repulse Bay, Shek O, Clear Water Bay, Lido Beach, or, to feel like you're in Thailand, Long Ke Wan Beach which is in one of HK's amazing country parks 3) mall culture is a big deal in HK, so check out one of the beautiful malls such as K11 (near the Bruce Lee statue), Elements (next to the tallest building in HK), Pacific Place (next to the beautiful HK Park), etc. 4) Hong Kong Park: beatuiful park with beautiful ponds, birds, exotic plants, etc. 5) Disneyland and/or Ocean Park 6) Get out of the city and hike through one of the country parks (there are both easy and difficult trails) and if you don't like hiking then check out something like the Bowen Road Fitness Trail (it's flat, lush, with great view of the city) or Black's Link (which passes by some of the most expensive houses in HK), 5) check out one of the outlying islands to feel like you're in a different world: Lamma Island, Lantau island, or if you don't mind a little hike, Sharp Island (among many, many others), 7) the cable cars to the Big Buddha statue on Lantau Island (touristy but fun), 8) if you have time, a trip to both Macau AND Shenzhen, two great cities, very different vibes, a stone's throw from HK.

    You got super lucky with the weather! It has been humid and rainy for the past two months. 1) HK actually has three parts: HK Island, Kowloon and New Territories. New Territories is where Lantau is based, but it also contains the outlying islands, eg. Cheung Chau, Lamma, etc. and the northern part of Hong Kong like Sai Kung, Yuen Long, Tai Po, etc. 2) HK has three official languages - English, Cantonese and Mandarin. The MTR announcements for example are announced in all three, when you're phoning a service hotline, you will press 1, 2 or 3 depending on which language you want to speak to the service staff in, etc. (People might argue it is a dialect and not a language but that is besides the point, the point is all three are the official languages. Kind of like how in Catalonia, things are in Catalan as well as Spanish) 3) The Peak is the highest part of HK Island yes, but the highest peak in the whole of HK is called Tai Mo Shan 4) At one point the govt. gave a subsidy for EVs so that might be why there are so many teslas. Not sure if it's still in place 5) Cars in HK are super luxury because it is mostly rich people who have them. The public transport is so good that the middle class and lower class have no need for a car (unless they live in a village or outskirts of HK). 90% of all transport is public transport in HK, which might be the highest in the world. Glad you enjoyed HK!
  • The most awesome city in the world. Spent a lot of time there the last 20 years. In my opinion by far superior both Dubai and Singapore

    I’m super happy you decided to swing by Hong Kong…my first trip was in 2017, that two weeks stay there was super epic…so much so I’ve been back quite a few times since then. Next time you go back I would recommend you stay at least 10-14 days (if budget allows) there’s so much to see and do but the best part is when you done with all the tourist stuff and end up emerging yourself into the daily life as if you’re an expat living in HK.

    Thanks Gabi for your video's! You are one of the best youtubers in my opinion, because you don't show only the good side but sometimes also things that you struggle with, you're humble and honest and I hope more people can be like you and make video's in your style. Greetings from the Netherlands, keep it up!
