Hi guys, so sorry this one took so long to post. Unfortunately after a fierce battle with cancer, Alan’s dad passed away. This happened shortly after we finished filming this.
We’re still traveling & making videos, but took some much needed time to heal and focus on other things in life. ❤
Thanks for understanding and we hope you enjoyed it. Let’s us know if there is anything we missed that you would add. 😊
enjoy

Beautiful photography, very professional
The dim sum you guys had doesn't seem very typical (it looks creative though). Suggest you go to a typical Cantonese restaurant for dim sum next time.
glad you guys had a great time here in Hong Kong!! 🙂

I would totally love the pottery!!! 😮😮😮
Glad that you guys can finally have some gfeat time in HK and upload this video 😉
離開道教黃大仙不遠.還有一所佛教的志蓮淨苑.可惜你們錯過了🎉😂如果來香港旅遊.最合適的天氣..秋天及冬天較為乾爽些.春天.夏天,也會潮濕另一大帽山.麥理浩徑.也可遠足…西貢.流浮山的海鲜.南丫島..🎉等等🎉
I missed the explanation about the timings throughout the day. Why did you have to be back at the hotel for 12.30 every day?
Love your video ❤ Welcome to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Please stay and enjoy here. This is a amazing city 😊
that's why snooker GOAT moves to Hong Kong, but you have to be very rich first in order to be a migrant here.
wow quality work ❤ love ur travel vlog! Hong Kong is such a stunning city 🎉
Expensive of living cost in Hong Kong, if travellers come , hotel is a better choice 😅. Transport is excellent for everyone although somethimes many people
Hey, just came across your video. Welcome to Hong Kong! Can't believe you guys missed the tram haha!! It's like missing the one in San Fran!! If hiking is your thing, next time please try the hiking trails to to Shek O beach or to Long Ke Wan, where you can enjoy some of the nicest beaches in Hong Kong after the hikes. Try look these beaches up on Google! Those two are quite popular for those outdoor people visiting Hong Kong for the first time. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the trip and thanks for your video 🙂
You can call the police if the construction continues after 7pm
As a Hong Kong person, i would say Hong Kong people dont go to Wong Tai Sin at all. If you dont have much time, i would highly recommend skip it.
The pineapple bun is usually a round one with crunchy topping, instead of a stick-like one you ate. The best place to taste it should be at a Hong Kong style restaurant, with a piece of cold butter embedded in a warm bun, better still with a cup of milk tea.
Good call to go to Angus Cafe. Where are you staying in originally that is having the interior construction? And I am very sorry for the passing of Alan's dad.
Salmon Roe all day, everyday! ❤
WELCOME TO HK
love the video, it's so well edited and I love the background music, so relaxing😂
Such a fun guide! You really captured the vibe of Hong Kong. Can’t wait to see where you go next!🚀🤍
I am sorry for what you encountered in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, if there is construction noise between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on normal days or at any time on a general holiday, you may ask the police for help. Anyways, hotels are VERY STRONGLY recommended for tourists to Hong Kong for many reasons, and hotels will deal with the unacceptable noises for you.
Next time, you may consider coming to Hong Kong around November, to avoid rain, fog, hotness and typhoons. Hong Kong is humid and hot in summer, easy to heat stroke.
Hope the unlucky experiences did not wipe out the good sides of Hong Kong!
Great bucket list! I've lived here over 10 years and haven't been to some of the places in this vlog.
Thank you so much for visiting Hong Kong. I live just right next to harbour grand, and I know there very much. When you try your pineapple bun, that store isn’t the most popular one, if u guys walk 5 more meters to yr right, that store sells the best pineapple bun in the world
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, and Wu Jing are all Chinese action movie stars. Do you know them?
来中国 流量密码哦

希望你们来。北京。上海。深圳。杭州。苏州。来领略他的美
I miss Hong Kong, last time was 2018. Always have had a good time. Know this city better than NY or Boston. Was the safest I felt in any city, unsure what it is like now since ______^.
Thank you so much for visiting us, as locally born as Hongkongers I really recommend u to eat the delicious pineapple buns from that 1 restaurant red tea I eat it every Sunday and its is absolutely delicious.thank u again btw❤
You two see more than me, who was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to America when I was 18.
