the road so you guys get a better view there are so many buildings so close to each other
hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places on this planet wow wow there must be like

they’re so close to each other and there’s so many and they’re even going up the hill or is
that a mountain hill or mountain mountain hill you know what I mean they’re going up there wow
unbelievable it’s crazy cuz I used to only see this place in pictures and videos it’s my first
time in Hong Kong i can’t wait to see it at night when it’s all lit up like it’s beautiful right
now i could only imagine how it is at night cuz I’ve flown over Hong Kong and when you look down
from the airplane all you see is beautiful lights and like massive buildings everywhere it’s
gorgeous this guy’s doing some fishing lejo there’s another one here we’ll test our luck
with her i have faith in this grandma oh I think she caught something oh no she It’s a
guy my bad i don’t see anybody here on this walkway like there’s a few people walking but
not a lot i thought I would have seen more i know it’s a work day but Hong Kong should have a
lot of tourists too right look at that Starbucks with the rooftop patio with a beautiful view
of this harbor right over here i guess that was just in the wrong part like here is starting
to get real busy i guess this is where the main view is and the buildings on the other side look
much newer here than they do over there look got the Cartier store St lauron Gucci Omega which
city has more money Singapore or Hong Kong or are they pretty much the same man it’s crazy
like I thought like it was going to end right over here cuz I was around the corner right so
all I saw was up to here but it goes even deeper it goes all the way down there and it’s just
full of highrises and skyscrapers it’s amazing i just got back to my hotel crossing
my fingers my room is ready a look at all these luggages so I’m actually
staying on the 25th floor but there’s no button for it you have to go to the 24th and then
go up some stairs and then you’re at the top floor oh these are the stairs I have to go up
so quick room tour you walk right in here to the right is the bathroom it’s got a tub
fairly standard obviously i’m sure it comes with some goodies here too looks like a a
girl’s makeup thing over here and over here you have a little mini bar with a safety box
and then a fridge open it from this way genius empty some coffee tea bed bed i think it’s
a queen yes looks like a queen i love that they give you some slippers over here see
what else he said the view is really good oh are you kidding me holy that’s the real
concrete jungle right there wow look at that welcome to Hong Kong god damn this is a lot of
buildings i need to ask AI how many buildings are in Hong Kong wow 42,000 buildings total from
that 42,000 9,000 of them are highrises hong Kong used to be occupied by the British for
over 150 years and you could still see a lot of remnants of that for example many roads here
still have English names and what’s interesting is even though Hong Kong was handed back over to
China in 1997 any of the street signs are still English first and then Chinese under it rather
than Chinese first and English under it usually when you’re in a country it’s the first language
that’s always written first and then the second language english isn’t the first language here
but it’s always written first on the street signs now I’ve never seen an ice cream truck
that looks like this hi my friend can I get one of your soft serves yeah one cone
please thank you i’ve never seen an ice cream truck that looks like this here’s what
I got soft ice cream 13 thank you sisia Sia hits the spot in this weather so one tip that I just learned first timer
I know if you ever come on this boat go on the left side because you get a better view
of all the buildings over there here this is your only view you don’t see much you see this
nice building over here and I think there’s a bridge that might be the bridge that goes to is
that Shenzhen i’m not sure but yeah this is the nicest building you’ll see on this side on that
side you get a whole view of the Hong Kong skyline [Music] the amount of luxury stores in this like
small city is completely crazy like I’ve seen so many Gucci stores like this is another
Gucci store there’s probably like four behind me there’s so many Rolex stores i have watch
stores everywhere used watches and new watches it’s just crazy like I’ve never seen this much
luxury shopping in one small area before in my life and I’ve been to many cities around the
world bring comfortable shoes when you come to Hong Kong i’m walking to the tram right now that
goes to the peak breaking a sweat breaking a sweat it’s a nice church up here look at
this beautiful i think there’s some uh events going on everyone’s dressed
up here speaking like French I think okay we are 3 minutes away [Music] i don’t think [Music] Honestly this is worth every single penny the ride up make sure you sit on the right
side and by the window if possible wow look at the cloud just moving through
right over here like I could almost touch it oh my god who lives up here i’m I’m looking at
an apartment right now like people actually live here right or is that an office okay that’s got
to be an apartment right wow imagine living all the way up here where do you go so surreal
to me that the clouds like I’m just like literally watching them just pass by me right now
imagine waking up to that view every single day so right after Pearl Harbor the Japanese actually
invaded Hong Kong and the Peak where I am right now was one of the first places they bombed
they bombed here because this is where all the wealthy people used to live a lot of British
diplomats and wealthy people from right here in Hong Kong the Japanese invasion of Hong
Kong killed over 200,000 people so that’s the building that the tram drops you off at and
then there’s a lookout that you have to pay for but I just found out if you come over right
here a few steps over to this building come all the way to the roof you have the exact
same view for free and I guess I’m not the only person that found out about this because
there’s a good amount of people here so you could just come here for free and get the exact
same view like it’s so beautiful from up here wow there is a full-blown mall up here
i thought it just would have been a few stores but no they have like all types
of stores they have shoe stores they have designer stores they have restaurants
they have everything i was expecting to only see like maybe a couple restaurants
with the view but now they have everything look at that so they have this crispy
collab thing going on it looks great that is a good chicken burger wow my drink has like actual mandarin
pieces inside it look those are pieces of mandarin good job McDonald’s all
right so I killed some time at McDonald’s hopefully all the lights are on because
that’s why I’m here this view is everything all right as you can see it’s way
too busy now so let’s go back down it’s raining on and off right now so I’m
walking back towards my hotel i’ve done a lot of walking today i think I’ve done at least
20,000 steps actually you know what let’s check sorry 27,800 let’s get it to 30,000 before
we go back home tonight look at this place they just leave their door
wide open and there’s Birkkins everywhere it’s all Birkkins all Birkkins all Birkkins there’s
probably like a few hundred grand in Birkkins right over here and they just leave the
door open imagine that was Canada America Europe it all would have been robbed in like
3 seconds so I was here in the beginning of my vlog and most the stands were closed now I’m
back at the end and still most of the stands are closed i was expecting to see some like food
stands but it looks like it’s only clothing quick little 7-Eleven run i found the
smallest 7-Eleven i wish it was bigger so I could give you guys a better tour of
how they look over here but it’s a really small one so I need a bottle of water cuz
for some reason my hotel is going green and they can’t give bottles of water this place
is busy i’m going to grab a little bun from here all right nothing is in English
so we’re just going to pick randomly honestly welld deserved but first let’s
see did we hit it or no 30,000 come on yes I just hit it wow don’t forget to
subscribe it’ll mean a lot to me thank you so much once again good night from Hong Kong
This was my first time in Hong Kong. What an amazing city, I already can’t wait to come back here.

Come back when it’s not so hot:) The weather is perfect in late Autumn. You’re probably aware already but the Peak at the top tram stop has the most expensive real estate in the world. I would recommend visiting Tai Ping Shan Street in Sheung Wan and the surrounding area as it has a totally different vibe with low rise buildings, people walking on the street because there is very little traffic, lots of small independent cafes, bars and restaurants plus galleries and the Museum of Medical Sciences. Also there is a wonderful and very cheap vegetarian restaurant in the heritage Blue House in Wanchai. It’s called Lisa’s veggies and the owner makes all her own dumplings in the same room. The building and the owner have lots of character and history. Of course there are lots of other places to visit including mountain walks and the Hong Kong Museum of the War of resistance and costal defence (not to be confused with the other maritime museum which is small). It’s set on a hill with original with the original defence “fort”, batterie, tanks, etc. which are incorporated into the modern architecture of some of the museum. Again this museum has an amazingly cheap cafe called Madam Hong cafe with floor to ceiling windows and a terrace looking across the sea and to Lei Yue Mun. The food is simple but the views are amazing and they are a wonderful social enterprise that hire people with disabilities. Excuse the ramble!
😅but Hong Kong is the most expensive city in china even than shanghai, i found it shocking that a bowl of noodles costs 4 times than my city canton at the first time i travelled there
On the ferry, not only go on the left side but also lower-deck
3:53 “Brother I’m Chinese”😂😂😂Didn’t expect that. I’m a Chinese and only been to Hong Kong twice (once when I was a kid, family trip, and once went there for like 12 hours for transit, only watched a movie and had some coffee there), but I love the vibe there and really want to go there again no matter whoever says what. Hope you enjoy your time in Hong Kong!
HK preserves street signs, which is part of their history. Unlike we are in Toronto, where we want to remove DUNDAS st name and spend tons of money, which the city does not have. What a joke!
Nice video bro. Looking forward for my Asia trip in September.
Not sure if by highrises you meant skyscrapers. There are around 550 skycrapers, 9000 is just unreal.
Lol I always find it funny you go to McDonalds of all places in foreign countries.

The US tried to destroy Hong Kong to get at China but they failed both in 2014 and 2019. It is still one of the best cities in the world (alongside Tokyo) and it's even better now with fewer annoying and entitled white expats.
Hello, last time I was in Hong Kong, I stayed at the same hotel you were staying at Austin Street in Kowloon.
Hello . You have been so quite
The sandwich at the end 😋😋😋
So cash is king !? 😊
13$ ice cream cone 😢 Im never going to HK
Hong Kong is a 2 day city. NOT A lot to do beside going to the peak or Ladies market in Mong kok
HK is still modern but China is on another level, So Advance even Singapore looks out dated!
Amaziing Hong Kong !!!!!!!!
Developed countries such as Hong Kong, Japan and the west, etc, are ageing badly infrastructure wise. Everything was done in the 20th century. This why they are called "developed" and there is few room for growth.
The best countries in the world today with new and shiny stuff are mostly seen in upper middle income countries.
this is credit card centre charge you 10% fee, not from the shops…
Welcome to my HK my dude! Was born here but moved to Canada. Good to see another Toronto dude enjoying this beaut of a city!!
Welcome to hk
Thank you for sharing ❤ loving seeing Hong Kong
Not sure if you're still in HK, but here are some recommendations in addition to what you've already done in this video:
-Hong Kong Park (beautiful park with amazing aviary – near the Peak Tram entrance)
-Big Buddah statue on Lantau Island / use cable cars to get there (plan a half day)
-Disneyland and/or Ocean Park (if you like amusement parks. Ocean Park includes pandas)
-West Kowloon Arts Districts (world class museums, cafes, restaurants, great views of the skyline, etc.)
-Victoria Dockside promenade (great views of the skyline in the evening, Bruce Lee statue, lots of shops, restaurants, museums in the area)
-Mall culture is big in HK, check out one of the many impressive malls (K11 Musea – by Victoria Dockside, Pacific Place – by Hong Kong Park, Elements – near West Kowloon Arts District, Airside – near the new Kai Tak 50,000-seat stadium, etc.)
-Hiking is very popular (if you're not into hiking, easy walks include Bowen Road Fitness Trail | 10 mins drive from city center , Luggard Road (near the Peak). etc.
-The Central Harborfront promenade is good for an evening walk and offers a different view of the city.
-Watch a few horse races at the famous Jockey Club (great atmosphere, entrance is cheap, there's drinks, food, and you can bet on races)
-Tai Kwun historical area is small but nice. Lots of restaurants nearby
-Beaches (city ones like Repulse Bay or more remote ones like Shek O, or very remote ones like Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung or Cheung Sha Beach on Lantau island, particularly the Lower section)
-Have a dim sum lunch (classic Cantonese lunchtime food. Delicious.)
-Check out of the city's rooftop bars
-Walk around Causeway Bay (busiest shopping district)
-Visit one of the outlying islands for a very different vibe and to eat fish, (Lamma Island isn't far from Central ferry pier).
Advice:
-Avoid the Central district and most parks on Sundays, as that's the maids/helpers' day off and they take over the whole place, even some of the walkways, kind of unavoidable city wide but Central is the worst hit).
-Use Uber or Amap if you don't want to deal with potential language barriers with the red taxi drivers
-Get an Octopus card at any MTR station to use the subway system or any other public transport like buses and trams. It also works as a debit card in most shops and restaurants if you top it up with enough money.
How interesting they have HSBC on their money…I've been to HK a few times but never paid attention. Thanks for the video, another good one👍👍👍
@8:51 – on the other side of those mountains are beaches (hong kong island southside) – like this one ( surprised? ) … https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7QTsgAtj1TEPGHs7U7XuWJI3huFuMzrg?si=zJTUXeAOH-HloXiT
We also have the best bar in Asia
please go to guangzhou,u will love it
Welcome to HK….The East meets West city. I have been living in Toronto for over 30 years and retired in Jan 2025. Now, I have become a snowbird in between Toronto and HK…😊
Which city are you going to next? Let's see if I can run into you. lol
First of all, welcome to Hong Kong China! That's the city with a totally different vibe while you're still in China (The other one is Macau)… LOL
To minimize cash and changes, you can use the Octopus Card for most contactless payments in HK like metro, trams, ferry, buses, convenience store, many restaurants and also some street food stalls. It is more than enough to get you around and to get foods!
It is pretty much like the Toronto PRESTO card on steroids! The Octopus card can be purchased at any MTR stations and be top up at any 7-11 (convenience stores) and MTR station in Hong Kong. You need to put a HK$50 deposit for the card (say HK$550 for HK$ 500 funds and HK$50 initial deposit) which the remaining funds together with the HK$50 is refundable while you are done with the HK trip and return the Octopus card to the MTR customer service kiosk.
Of course you can still use Alipay and wechat Pay (QR code payments) in HK but the Octopus card has more coverage and will definitely get you less pain the arse in regards to contactless payments in Hong Kong!
HAVE FUN!
Hk is overrated go to macau next door neighbor
Hong Kong is such a unique city imo, in terms of its cityscape I feel it's a golden age right now, new and old all mixed together in such a compact space. The old stuff really gives it a sense of history and character. Chinese cities feel much newer (because they are) but to me has a manufactured and distant feel. Perhaps in 30 years Chinese cities will start giving me that vibe.
HongKong is HongKong, HongKong is not China, never compare with the cities in China
HK had lost to Sing' because of poor governance.
