How safe is Hong Kong S.A.R. for women?
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is safe, regardless the political situation. You don’t need to worry about personal belongings being stolen. It’s safe to walk on the street at night also. And if you can obey to the national security law, then you are completely safe. (Means don’t criticise the government)

Hong Kong is a very safe region, but just very expensive, You can chose to stay in capsules hostel if you are limited in budget, otherwise can stay in 5star hotel is a very wonderful place to enjoy a luxury lifestyle.

Hong Kong is a big city that the crime rate is quite low. I feel safe walking alone at night and have no worries about being robbed or attacked on streets as a citizen here. But still have to be aware while you are at some district. Most of the time and places are safe and have no worries.

There is no harassment and people barely care about people walking on the street. Police officers are around making sure everyone is safe. Been living there for 8 years and never been catcalled nor whistled. Don’t hesitate to talk to someone or just enter a shop if you feel unsafe.

There's little violent crime in Hong Kong. Everywhere is mostly safe at night. Hong Kong consistently ranks among the lowest in the world for terrorist incidents and natural disasters (which places it above Japan on the safety scale in our books). If anything were to happen, Hong Kong boasts extremely reliable police and emergency services.

I have been for 2 weeks, and i havent experienced any crime, harresment, assult, catcalling …. although i was on the street alone at 12 am and after as well. I made some local friends and they also said that HongKong is not dangerous, and they also feel safe here.

Hong Kong is a moon the safest places on Earth. You can walk day or night without being harassed by anyone. Theft is punished by a $10,000 HK$ fine and imprisonment. If you lose something on the street you can be sure someone will call out for your attention, signaling the item you dropped.

Super safe in Hong Kong. Low crime rate and helpful citizens/ police. As a night city, we are active and busy after dark, never worry about having dinner outside or having a night walk. International city so we accept different cultures and languages.

It is very safe in Hong Kong. For example, if you put your phone on the table in a restaurant, nobody will take it. Or if you even forget your phone in the restaurant, you may still get it back after many hours.

Public places are all very safe. Even drunk & taken super late night taxi is safe. Until you go off public territory with unknown people all is well even for girls & even late nights. Taxi drivers are usually polite & responsible & one even turned up back to return my mobile phone.

I feel safe and the public transport is efficient. I love the northern part because I saw how locals live and work. I enjoy also the solo hiking in the mountain. I love the Hong Kong beach because of not so touristy.

I went during the summer when it was soooooo hot. I think if you like trekking winter is better as there are lovely trails here overlooking the sea. Dim sum is so yummy, but in general reataurants are really exoensive, especially in the city center.

About Me
I am from Hong Kong where is a small city, but live over 7.33 million people. When I am traveling, I would like to have experience for being local people, so I like to spend my time in other places all over the world with local people, then I can know more about their daily lives and culture. We could make friends and exchange the cultures. I am a visual artist and give pottery lectures to the people who have intellectual disabilities at some workshops. I like painting and bakery. I also like hiking and camping as I am a scout leader. Moreover, it’s important for me to have the opportunities to learn their lives spirit.
