12 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TRAVELLING TO HONG KONG 

But i live in hk why am i watching this

What am I doing here?? I've been living in HK for 16 years and I have exams tomorrow ahhh. Besides that, I loved this video a lot :))

Going to HK for the first time in a few weeks, these videos are so helpful!

Everyone needs their own Octopus card. You can't use the same card for multiple people because there is a lock preventing multiple transactions at the same time.

Delia, I can't tell you how grateful me and my husband are to you. We took your advice regarding the octopus card and food (esp cheese tarts) to heart. Our trip to Hong Kong was amazing and we enjoyed it a lot, in part thanks to your very informative videos. Thank you for all that you do for your viewers. We are indeed very grateful.

You don't have to go to Sham shui Po for the sim card, you can get those sim cards in any of the convenient stores and newspaper stands around Hong Kong. Most resto have tissues, if they don't have it you can always buy a pack for HK$2 at the cashier. Mosquitoes are only around the woods or dirty places so depends where you go and most importantly, we TIP people here, only cheapos don't tip people.

you didn't mention the $2.50HK tram ride? cheapest public transport in Hong Kong. or trying the snake soup. that was yummy or as you say in Cantonese "hou may"

Hi, Delia. Thank you for your information! Especially the information about SIM card should be really helpful for me for my next stay in hk. When I visit hk previous time, “In town check-in” was super convenient. I hope this system should be introduced in any other countries. Someday visit Tokyo, try some experience here and post a movie about it :) Anyway COVID-19 still doesn’t settle down so just be careful and stay safe!! Kei from Tokyo.

I spent a little over 10 years living in Hong Kong and I am going to add a few things to the list and sort of “fix” a few things that aren’t really true. 1) Bug sprays. You only need it in the summer or when you are going to places with trees and other vegetation (like mountains, parks...) The mosquitos are dead in the winter and not usually found in the city center. 2) Sharing tables in restaurants. You don’t usually share tables unless it’s a cheap cheap place or in a big Chinese dim sum restaurant during peak hours on the weekend. Nobody likes to share a table with strangers and the restaurants know that very well. 3) Washing your eating utensils. That’s also only true in cheaper Chinese restaurants. Most restaurants you find in the mall or any restaurants other than Chinese do not have this “wash your own” practice. 4) Tipping. Depends on what kind of place you are in. High end restaurants almost always require tipping. Many moderately priced restaurants also have this fee called “+10% service fee” which is basically tip. When you arrive at your hotel and an employee helps you carry your luggage... you also need to tip. They probably won’t kill you if you don’t tip, but it’s generally expected. 5) Rude people. Again, it depends. I do find Hong Kongers in general to be more stressed and as a result appear “rude.” Many people are very polite and will gladly help you when you need help with directions. Talk to them politely and they will do the same in return 90% of the time. 6) Traffic. I find the drivers in Hong Kong pretty good. I mean they drive around all day in narrow streets packed with cars... that takes skills. Always look around before crossing the street is a good tip nonetheless. When you cross the street in the US, you also have cars turning. But in Hong Kong, traffic for all cars stop when the light turns green for pedestrians. I find that even safer. And something I would add is... Avoid going there in the summer. Seriously it’s the worst time of the year as it’s super hot and humid. You are wet the moment you step outside. Everywhere you go smells like your uncle’s sweat. Summer also means Summer vocation for the kids. All the attractions in Hong Kong is filled with kids on vocation. Oh and did I mention the mosquitos in the summer? Go visit during Spring, Fall (Autumn) or Winter. You can thank me later. Nice video btw. Glad you enjoyed your time there.

You can get the china mobile data card from 711 and circle K. No need to go all the way to Shum Sui Po (SSP) for that. SSP is worth to go for shopping if you r looking for cheap toys , computer or gadgets.

If you go to the MTR counter at the airport, armed with your passport, you can get the tourist version of the Octapas which does not require a deposit and it includes a return Airport Train Express ticket and three days of MTR trips.

Can’t wait to visit HK! Once we do, we’re going to make an amazing video to show you guys the best of HK 😁

AMAZING TIPS! I miss Hong Kong!! I didn't know about the suitcase part, thank you

You're beautiful ❤️❤️

You're not a HongKonger? I'm so surprise how well you're pronouncing the Cantonese words 💚 u go girl, glad you like my home city 💙💙

Don’t go to Hong Kong in Summer ( Jul ~ Sep), it’s super humid and hot, not to mention the typhoon. It will ruin ur trip. Seriously. Don’t go in Summer. But in Spring ( Feb ~ April, except Lunar New Year) and Autumn ( Oct ~ Nov), the best time.

HK is number one. Thanks for your video. But people very friendly, not rude.

I met some people at Tim Ho Wan IFC mall ^_^

Sorry this might sound stupid but I need help, I have an iPhone that only supports one mobile service, does that mean I can't use Hong Kong simcards?

hey i need suggestion what country should i visit in asia?? what would you preferred??

Thanks for the tips! Went to HK the first time and I have got to say, I didn't encounter rude people but actually helpful people. I experienced something horrible in there but people helped me and I am so thankful for that. I am going back in about 2 months. Love HK because my roots are from there. This time is going to be unforgetable, becausse I am finally travelling with my family instead of by myself. Another tip you could add for travellers is to bring a universal converter for your electronics (different voltage 220/110). Keep up the good vids!

I think you had misjudged, actually they are not really vulgar, they just be used to the life in hk to rush on everything

Your video was on my recommendations, do you have Hong Kong background by any chance? Bc your Canto sounded very good. Also watched your HK recap, damn makes me miss HK so much.

Can you use the Octopus card when you're going to ride the free shuttle bus K1?

When I first traveled to HK, I also felt that vibe that the people there are quite unfriendly but of course not all of them. One time my kid fell asleep and I had to carry her even inside the elevator. while at the elevator, a lady (HK local) noticed that my daughter's back is showing because the shirt was pulled up from the way I carried her, she quietly pulled it down so I don't have to worry fixing it. I thanked her and smiled at her as a gesture that I really appreciate it. From then on, I realized that we just need to be on our best behavior as a tourist so that people won't get mad because they are just being real.

i heard that u spoke shum shui po quite well, do u speak cantonese actually?

I live in HK and this video is totally correct and accurate. The only thing I disagree with is that I haven't found any bathrooms that don't have toilet paper (well except for at some parks). Actually the public bathrooms are quite nice in malls much better than the US.

My dream stay in Hong Kong some time

I have diabeteies 2 because I live there and I yeet too much 🤣.

Hong Kong is the best place, I live there and love it!

And the number. 1.... THE PROTEST, MISSION OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE

0:44 and also speed up to 1.25x just to save some time

People call me stupid cuz I'm an abc deciding to move halfway around the world and settle in hk but yolo!

I can't wait to experience the Hong Kong tradition of eating until I am full!

One great tip that was missed for people unfamiliar with Asia. Do not bow to people in Hong Kong. It is like a sign of disrespect. Don't confuse it with Japan.

Wow you're a native speaker 😍

Quick question, you mentioned in the Temple Markets you can get better Phone SIM card deals which unlimited data etc....... is there specific stores that sell them??? Ill be flying to HKG often and the idea of that SIM is great!!! How does it get recharged when i lose data etc? Name of the SIM?

I have four days until I travel to Hong Kong! I'm so excited and knowing about the Optimus card is a great help for me to get around =) Thank you for creating this video!

Omg I love the mtr it’s grate Clean Quiet Fast Easy to use as a traveler

When I went to Hong Kong 5 years ago I did not see any bugs at all, also it never rained and every toilet has paper. I guess it depends what season you go 😊

I'm Vietnamese living America have a great grandpa who is Cantonese. DO you think I can go there when I'm older I cab visit? Who they understand me in english?

Have you been to London?? I've fallen in love with you 😂... Marry me 🥰

Thanks for sharing! Noticed the scripture verse and that you're from Canada! Woot Woot eh! Curious ... where do you go to church in Hong Kong?

Hi Delia,I’m ur new viewers/fans from HK,I would like ask questions for u🙏🏼 You used to live in Hk?When u will come to HK again?I feel u familiar with HK,ever u better than me familiar with Hk😂Anyway my English is not good,if my English wrongly,wish forgive me please🙏🏼

i'm going to hong kong in a couple days :)

Not everything is entirely correct but a nice video.

Rude people in HK? I've been both traveling and staying there for several years and so far I've only met ONE (1) rude HK Chinese. Also to know, since HK used to be British, most in HK Chinee can speak English compared to Shenzhen (mainland China side). On the mainland, YES people are VERY frank and have no problem calling you fat, ugle, messy, etc. It's just the cultural. I've been married now for 6 years with my wife from China so I have some understanding of the cultural differences. Also, forget buying "cheap electronics" unless you want to purchase Chinese brands. Usually you can buy the brand name technology for the same price in Europe/US and sometimes even for less...

which hotel or location do you suggest ? thank you

당신이 맘에들어서 구독 좋아요.i like u.so have good day

Thanks for such an informative video. I'm NNES and an experienced physics teacher. Will schools in HK consider me as I'm not in HK and will require the school to sponsor visa. Could you tell me frankly if I hold any chance in HK. Hope to get a reply. Thanks in advance.

Hi, where in Mongkok did you bought Pineapple Buns? :)

random, but you look like Carly from iCarly (ˢᵒᵐᵉᵒⁿᵉ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᵐᵉ ᵘᵖ ʰᵉʳᵉ)

Why seldom people go to Bruce Lee's exhibition in Sha Tin, Hong Kong Heritage Museum???? That's one of the coolest exhibition in the world. Is it because no photo is allowed that's why no one knows it online?

MY friend l ! GREAT JOB Delia ! You need nobody to inspire you ! ... YOU ALREADY GREAT ! YOUR RU-vid CHANNEL IS GREAT !!! JUST KEEP GOING !!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF MORE !!! and thanks for your video

Does every airport in Hong Kong have a mtr booth? Like Cebu Pacific does it have one?

I just got back from HK and this video is so true :D! God job w/these tips, gurl.

NICE VLOG!🌀

Can you use your credit card to load octopus card? Or is it cash only?

You can also use your the octopus card at McDonald’s KFC Pizza Hut and watch movies at most cinemas

hot star is so yummy ahave eated in hk

Also, is it generally safe to travel in Hong Kong? I've heard about people getting pickpocketed. Any tips on how to prevent this from happening?

Hi Delia, we just came back from HK, we stayed in North Point area. Though, it seems like a lot of things happening in HK recently, i just want to tell you and everyone that as a family traveller, we really enjoy our time there. But i remember in this video that you did mention about all the attitude from the aunty and uncles 😅. I experience it first hand, but i just keep myself cool since i already know it from this video. Thanks for sharing. Love from us 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦❤️

I'm going to Hong Kong next week! These tips are all so helpful! I'm going to utilize them all. Thank you! Does the electronics street have just cell phone stuff? I lost my vlog stick recently and was hoping to get one in Hong Kong (since options are limited in Vietnam where I live). Would they have that there? Thanks! Great vid! 🎥😍

Useful guide. The last time I went to HK was 30 years ago. Wouldn't mind paying it another visit to see how it's changed.

The airport express fee? Is that for anyone flying out of Hong Kong?

Hi your tips are very helpful , would u mind pls to elaborate the last part about the in town check in about tapping the card when you want to get in the mtr gates about the 96 dollar that we should be careful about Thank u

I'm chinese but I don't live in hk so no love for me :(

My dad is Hong Kong-ese. 我会说中文

It's good guide, mention that you need cache for taxis. Plastic is not very useful here.
