It is a really safe city, I think it is because it’s so small, there are always people around you. I definitely feel safe walking on the street alone after dark, and you can always get help from the locals.

Very safe especially for women, and it is a small city there’s always people so no need to worry about being alone on street. The taxi is not cheap but if compared with European counties, the fee is still acceptable. Plus you can go with Uber too. Hongkongers look cool but they are kind in heart.

It’s a very safe city and safe for solo female travelers too! There is transport options for late night travelers too. Just be aware of some possible tourist scams in some shops may mark up the price for tourists

Pickpocketing might exist in crowded and / or touristy area, and there were tv ads warning about bag snatching in a busy restaurant (I’ve never heard about bag snatching in the streets) Generally a very safe city! Even for solo travel ladies Being a metropolitan city, there are plenty of safe travel options even at night.

It's a really safe place for female to visit alone, not having to worry about being harassed or threatened. There is barely any robbery cases in Hong Kong and let alone murder or rape. Would highly recommend if you are interested in Chinese culture.

It was safe but just need to be wary about bus schedules or else it's difficult to go home. It was a culture shock for me on how fast paced hong kong was. I especially loved going to lantau island because it was laid back and i can enjoy the views. Hong kong's custard bun and tea was so goood. I'd go back for it.
