HONG KONG TRAVEL GUIDE (essential travel guide + tips)

This is Hong Kong! 🇭🇰
We may not be experts in the traditional sense. But we spent countless hours gathering information before doing a Hong Kong Layover. We didn’t want this info to go to waste so, Voila: the *Hong Kong Layover ultimate guide* is born!

We really hope you learn something from this and enjoy watching it. Have a great trip to Hong Kong!

Special Thanks to our Channel Member: Michael Egan ❤️

👋 Hi, we’re Jordan and Emily an Australian couple who decided to risk it all, quit our jobs and travel the world for a year in 2022!
We fell in love with travel, filming, and editing and decided “real life” could wait a little longer. Now, we’re on a mission to visit 100 countries by the end of 2026!

We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day thanks to your support ❤️

  2. A trip to Stanley on the other side of the island is a relaxing thing to do for a morning or afternoon. Nice place to grab lunch or dinner along the sea front

  3. I would love to visit Hong Kong someday! I didn't realize that October is a good time to go, so I may have to consider adding this to the beginning or end of the group trip I'm doing to China in October. I'll have to remember these tips for sure. Great video!

  4. Official languages in Hong Kong are English AND Chinese, see section 3(1) of the Official Languages Ordinance (Cap. 5), which possesses equal status and equality of use, see section 3(2) of the same.

  5. Hi! Are you planning to do a video about Taiwan? I saw you went there after Hong Kong and would love some recommendations. Also thank you for the Hong Kong recs – I'm going for 2 days and this was soooooo useful.

  6. Hi, I signed up when you only have a few thousand subscribers. I am glad to see you are closing in on 50,000! Well done, your videos are informative but also entertaining. Sending best wishes.

  7. Thank you, guys, again for this kind of videos. They are truly the ones that matter the most. How to navigate your travels. Keep travelling and have fun , and keep us up to date 🙂
    Cheers from foggy Sofia, Bulgaria 🙂

  8. Hi, oldest Zoo is in Vienna. Tiergarten Schönbrunn 1752…. There‘s so much more to see in HgKg next time stay longer ✌👋

  9. Heading to Hong Kong in Feb, last time was in 2010 so has changed a bit since then, good Info from your vlogs. Seven days for us and slow travel of sights as we are in our sixties. 😬😬😬😬😬

  10. such a a helpful guide! you guys are so genuine – looking forward to more content!

  11. most local chinese people speak both chinese and cantonese. english still available everywhere and young people do speak a little.

  12. Hong Kong and Macau are also part of China, this city is good but still less modern and clean compared to cities in China such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou and others. I prefer Shenzhen for the cost as a tourist, it is very cheap to eat and remember the 4 star hotel in Hong Kong and Shenzhen is bigger and better than Hong Kong and the price is also cheaper for me,Hong Kong is still less modern because they were colonized by England, but now they have joined China, the city will become more advanced but in HK you can using google..hahaa

  13. This was very informative and cheerful! Thank you! One note for anyone planning their trip – be careful in the parks/ gardens in monsoon season – never been bitten by bugs so many times and I was covered and with (mild) repellent! Learnt from that experience for sure! 😂

  14. Nice video! A better word for thank you particularly in a shopping or restaurant sceanrio is M Goi, or M Goi Sai (thank you very much). Doh Jeh is normally reserved for thank you when receiving a gift. M Goi is the more traditionally used for being polite, thanking someone for a service, etc. Glad you enjoyed HK – next time be sure to check out HK Park which is better than Kowloon Park, and the HK History Museum is well worth a look too.
