Hong Kong is a pretty safe city! I go out at night (to LKF, Wan Chai) and I’ve never had issues or felt unsafe on the street or the metro. Obviously be careful when you’re inside the bars/clubs, I’d say that’s the only time I’ve felt a little uncomfortable sometimes, but outside it’s pretty good just be smart.

you walk alone on the street by yourself when i am there. no one would brother you , they tended to look at you though you wouldnt feel comfortable but as least they wouldnt do anything to you. but by say that i walk alone on most street.

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

Is Hong Kong worth visiting?

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.
