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.

Hong Kong is suitable for traveling alone. For ladies traveling alone, it is definitely a safe place to visit. The street food is nice, worth trying, and not too pricey. However, some tourist attractions can be too crowded for my liking.

I went during the summer when it was soooooo hot. I think if you like trekking winter is better as there are lovely trails here overlooking the sea. Dim sum is so yummy, but in general reataurants are really exoensive, especially in the city center.

Hong Kong SAR, Solo travel

Hong Kong is a beautiful place whether you are a nature lover or just looking to explore great museums. Don’t miss out on exploring Lantau island, taking a stroll on Victoria Harbour, dining at great restaurants (Try Ho Lee Fook, Kam Wah cafe and definitely do a street food tour) and top tier bars and so many other things. Felt very safe walking alone at night and even solo hiking The dragon’s back trail and everyone I met was friendly. Another plus is the proximity and good transportation. I visited Macau and Tawai

Hong Kong is extremely safe. I lived in Hong Kong and I really liked it there. Wonderful hiking trails, lots of food to try, excellent public transportation, and widespread use of English alongside Cantonese.

Hong Kong is a very good place to visit and even live!! The locals are also very nice and the food is just amazing. Hong Kong has lots of islands around so you can take a boat and explore and even go snorkelling and or diving. there are also lots of hikes in Hong Kong and you can also hike to a beach and camp over night!

Is Hong Kong S.A.R. safe for women?

Hong Kong

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.

About Me

Hi! I’m Andrea from Hong Kong and I’m doing a solo trip across the Schengen Area in April. I like to experience new countries through locals so I’d love it if there are some hospitable people out there who could host me! I’m down for city breaks, countryside outings and anything in between. I am clean, easygoing and have been co-housing for years so I am a respectful housemate. I look forward to meeting you! :)
