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.

Hong Kong

HK 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.

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 SAR

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.

Hong Kong, Solo travel

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.
