i'll never forget Hong Kong! an incredible number of old and unusual little shops, so many smells in the mongkok area, a million people and not a single one will even accidentally bump into you the whole time!! shopping is definitely what this city is about. It feels like you can find absolutely everything there. Amazing people even though their english isn’t great, they will always try to help. I will come back there 100%

It was my first solo trip as a 19 year old. I’ve always dreamed of traveling internationally but I’m glad I was able to do it all alone. The food was nice and they have a filipino culture there. Missed home :)

Had the most amazing time in Hong Kong , I met Anna through the Hong Kong group, and she tour guided me around with her friends, I felt so welcomed and so safe. And did a day trip to Macau with her, and she introduced me to a local friend from Macau who also tour guided us there. I'd definitely visit HK again just to see them again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just finished travel from Hong Kong for Sammi Cheng's Concert! First time in Hong Kong Coliseum, the place is stunning and superb visual experience! Enjoy a leisure trip and catch up with HK friends with HK local food..

Hong Kong is a very safe place. You don't need to worry about phone being snatched in metro. There is no specific red light area but for better living conditions, I would avoid area like Yau Ma Tei or Sham Shui Po. These area is pretty old.

The only concern is pick pockets if you have purses/backpacks open. Overall it is a very safe city. Even at evening and nights, you should feel safe and no one really bothers you but helpful if they can understand.

hong kong is a crowd city with lots of building and people. but we have cool landscapes and well developed public transportation. food is delicious but somehow is not cheap but affordable. hope you enjoy it.

Hong Kong is a very safe place. Women can walk alone at night and I have never experienced any type of harassment there. Nothing has ever been stolen even when personal items have been left on the beach.

Hong Kong is very safe, especially for female travelers. generally, you could walk out in the street at night and have no worries. But be careful in the clubbing districts such as lan kwai fong, shady stuff happens from time to time.

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.
