Is Hong Kong Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Hong Kong

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.

Hong 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

I can walk at night and still feel safe! There street lights and surveillance camera every where in the urban areas. I don’t think I would feel this safe walking alone in my home country. There are also less motorcyclist here, so the chances of getting mugged from a motorcyclist is also extremely low. However, don’t ever let your guard down as there might be occasional odd incidents.

Hong Kong is very safe for solo female travellers. The only area I’d advise to avoid after dark is Sham Shui Po as there might be petty crime or sexual harassment (catcalling etc). But people don’t approach you to look for trouble or ask for money, so even if you’re out alone after dark it’s very safe. Happy travels and welcome to my city!

Victoria 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.

Hong Kong was amazing with the wonderful vibes and the old school buildings, it was like stepping back into time in the most modern sense. I loved just walking in the streets and simply soaking in the vibes of the city.
