Hong Kong is a growing gem because of its spirit. I hope you find all you need exploring what the city has to offer;) You can hike, party, enjoy the beach, chill in a cafe, walk around and discover different multicultural corner, etc.

It’s very safe in general. People are very willing to help. Not common to see crimes around except in LKF area. But even in LKF area, most people are very helpful friendly and not with bad intentions.
Posted: November 19, 2024HK is very safe,everywhere always has people and hk is in general very cautious about it’s safety overall. People visiting hk won’t have to worry much :) Violent crime is low but pickpocketing and other street crime can happen. Take extra care of passports, credit cards and money in crowded areas and when checking in and out of hotels. If you plan to hike in Hong Kong's country parks, stay on the marked trails and do not carry valuables.
Posted: October 29, 2024For a solo traveller is super safe, people are super friendly and willing to help, and you can play use your phone on the street without worrying if someone gonna mug you. English is spoken widely in the city and people are happy to communicate and help if you ask them. Transportation is very convenient and there are lots of staff to help you if needed.
Posted: October 13, 2024Hong Kong is generally safe. In most cases, lost belongings can always be found. Generally people can temporarily leave their seats without carrying their belongings for order or toilet. Sexual harassment cases are on rise, but still on a lower scale.

Hong Kong is a big city. And most of the Hong Kong people is self-discipline and will follow the law so it’s safe! If you come to Hong Kong for traveling, people are willing to help tourists too! But fyi, everyone in Hong Kong walking so fast 😂
Posted: September 19, 2024Hong 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)
Posted: September 2, 2024Hong 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.
Posted: August 8, 2024Hong 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.

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.
