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.
Posted: May 11, 2025It'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.
Posted: April 29, 2025Hong Kong is really safe that you can just leave your laptop and wallet on the table and you go to wash room. You can just walk alone while night without any worries. Hong Kong is high population density city, everyone are willing to help if you got anything happened.

One of the safest places in the world :) I would say it is still an East Asian place and as long as you don't go to strange and remoted places at the dark you would be totally fine. Safety level: can put your laptop on the table unattended in Starbucks lol

Food in coffee shops were cheap and reasonable. There are some unhygienic place you’ll have to be careful. HK Disneyland was genuinely boring, there wasn’t much and everything was expensive. Don’t bother getting pressed coin because they get rusty fast.
Posted: July 13, 2025Victoria port is truly a must-go site for sure. It's a precious experience to abroad and enjoy the late night city with softly wind. By the way, I found that evening is the best time of taking good pictures, around 5.pm to 6.pm. Hong Kong is totally a city for food🙂↕️ every thing is worthy to take a try. You can rent a traditional clothes at the beginning of travel day, really helpful if you expect plenty of pretty selfie.
