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
Posted: April 20, 2025I 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 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.

I am a girl from HK who loves solo travelling. I have just graduated from university, and am interested in learning about culture/ history and politics of a country through talking to different people. Also like movies, music and a bit of hiking and running! 🥳 🌱

I am an outgoing introverted, stay in HK Studied in UK and Canada. I like travel alone but it would be better if there’s some ppl can share and explore together sometimes, meeting new friends during the trip. I do cycling, running and canoe, start learning some dances. If anyone come to Hong Kong, I am happy to meet up, grab a drink or have a nice dinner.
