Hong Konger here :) I have to admit I'm pretty impressed because I didn't know some of these facts, but also I have to point out a mistake in fact number one. Hong Kong does mean 'fragrance harbour' in Chinese but that's because a long time ago Hong Kong used to be a ship port for wood, and that type of wood gives off a fragrance smell, not because the water is sweet or anything. :)

Hong Kong is not the most expensive place to live I've lived there and I found it much cheaper than most 1st world cities. Of course if you live like a tourist it's expensive. But food and transport is very affordable. Rent is high, but you can find reasonable places. I used to live in Wan Chai and my place was small, but affordable.
Yes, I am a Hong Konger. Metro and bus are the main transport. The metro is really reliable and the carriers are clean. I had been to NY last year. The metro is a bit old and some places are smelly.
I am a HongKonger and I proud to be one of Hong Kong. Despite the abovementioned information about Hong Kong aren't that precise, those information do help people take a briefly look on Hong Kong. Owing to the fact that many ppl confuse Hong Kong ,China or TaiWan. It is a great idea to have such video to show the world on the characteristics of Hong Kong. BTW, Hong Kong didn't have that much Japanese culture as the brutal rule is only 44 months (long for war),yet we do enjoy japan's culture now. Perhaps you may make some video about the downside of Hong Kong, to view Hong Kong the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Who those once lived in Hong Kong would realise living in Hong Kong is challenging and frustrating. All in all, impressive video though.
the reason that "many ppl confuse Hong Kong ,China or TaiWan", because they have never been into 3 places. It's ignorance. just like a person confuse UK, US, and Canada, because they have never been into 3 places.
I lived in Hong Kong for 20 years and I still love Hong Kong but unfortunately it's soooooo expensive that I can't afford. You must be rich to have an average comfortable life in Hong Kong. Edit: Hong Kong is the most sophisticated and international town (more than Tokyo) in Asia! And speediest. Everything goes very fast and Hong Kongese think and calculate very fast! I LOVE HONG KONG!
I think the first one is wrong, the reason why the name is Hongkong is because they use to import spice from Hongkong, and spice in Chinese is pronounce as smell good
The so many special characterisrics in HK, as a HongKonger, I will recommend food, natural environments and architechture, not the skycrappers, but the old British buildings and the shophouses. Also, as HK is hilly, there are so many beautiful nature parks and hiking trails in HK with spectacular views. Also, actually Feungshui isn't be taken as that serious in HK, just depends on people and the estate developer😀 Thanks for introducing my home tho😂😂
I was born in Hong Kong, so was my grandfather and many of my uncles, aunties and cousins , I would always considered myself as Chinese, never british.
The weather is good, not too cold in winter but temperature in summer can be reached to 35 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature in winter is around 10-12 degrees Celsius.
Actually Japanese had very few influence to Hong Kong compare to China or British due to the colonial period of Japan was very short. You can see Japanese food, Jpop and animate are popular in Hong Kong but they were imported after 1970~1980s. One more thing, we do have alcohol limit, normal we wouldn't sell drinks to teens under 18 =)
I live in Hong Kong. I am an Expat. It is only that expensive if you live in Downtown Central. It is like basing all of New York City real estate prices on Manhattan, when more people live in the Bronx and Queens. And you say Hong Kong weirdly.
The Japanese occupied Hong Kong for 3 years and 8 months during world war two. But it had no effect nor impact on Hong Kong whatsoever since. I remember as a child in the 1950s , I was still able to pick up war relics on a beach in Kowloon, where the Japanese landing forces clashed with the defenders. But that beach had since been built over with highrise buildings since the eighties.
0:41 it wasn't "occupied by the British"'; it was de-facto British land and territory during its years under the Crown. It also didn't become "independent" from British rule because it was handed straight to Chinese sovereignty, so it was never independent from anyone.
I m a Hong Konger i m always proud of it we hv one of the best transport system but we don't think that feng shui is that important n Japan has NO influence in hk they just occupied hk for 3 years.
Clarification: JAPAN DID NOT RULED HONG KONG. During WWII, Japan had occupied HK. Many atrocities occur during that time. IT IS IN NO WAY, a colonial rule, it was a war crime! There are zero Japanese influence in both Mainland China and Hong Kong/Macau because of the unresolved tensions that still exist to this day. Please study up on the Second Sino-Japanese War before making such videos and claiming them to be facts!
Jyanne Skye Japan had tons of influences over Japan in terms of languages, culture and economy. Get a life. Japan is still China's single largest investor today. All modern vocabularies in modern Chinese and Korean are created by the Japanese. Stunned by how stupid people can get when they come to simplifications of knowledges. Shame
Huikwan Cheung Shame on you, Professor Knowledge. And the modern and old language of Japanese came from China, which in the Tang and Shui Dynasty, China have ambassadors to Japan, and the first emperor who admitted Japan a country is from China. Go search 'Japanese' in Wikipedia, you can get the real knowledge. Even the textbooks in Japan teaches children about Japanese is from Chinese… Don't be ignorant, knowledge is power.
Jyanne Skye: CLARIFICATION on your Clarification. JAPAN DID RULE HONG KONG. Well, they issued currencies in Hong Kong during their occupation times. If that's not ruling what is? Well, if ruling over a place is a crime then I am sure the Chinese Communist Party is committing a crime wherever they rule. Heck, look at these disgusting Commies who taught you hate just so they divert your attention from seeing who's the people's true enemy - the Chinese Communist Party. Wake up, dumb ass.
The local people were so nice to me,,,and I love the history from there too,,food great,,too.,,,so wish I was there right now,,,but it is OK we're I at right now,,,but I need to be happyer. ,,,so move needed
Can't wait to be living/working there again,,,,and also Miami and the mustang ranch.,,,,and Oakland too..,,,,..nothing will stop me,,OK,were I am for now,,but I need to grow in life and I can from these places,,,,,2012 was the year I made my life plan to do this ,,,,,,,it just feels so right,..,.no looking back //only moving forward,.,,,
Also, many people don't know Hong Kong does have beautiful countrysides. Hong Kong has over 100 small islands surrounding. People very often go to small islands with yachts during weekends to enjoy the countrylife. Islands like Lamar, Lantau, and Sheung Chau, are all famous islands for weekends.
0:31 The skline here is apparently not HK, it is Shenzhen - the neighbouring city in China. But the houses and fields in the foreground is probably HK.
Teja s I think I misunderstood u. It's because we take medicine all the time, even with the slightest syndrome, most diseases are killed before they can even develop. Also, the elderlies in Hong Kong focus a lot on sustaining a healthy life, therefore they take another set of herbes and stuff to stay healthy
Is it really THAT expensive? :/ I want to live there cause I really, really like Cantonese. But idk what value I can bring to Hong Kong to have people hire me and get paid well. Do you guys have a demand for German teachers? :D
the things they mention are just far more expensive than a local way of living, you can check video from other foreign youtubers that live in Hong Kong. I just watched one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-woHJEwp9sSI.html
The first one is not true. The reson is called hong Kong its because in the old time there was a thing that smell very good and it was at on a island. So the island called Hong Kong "香港” “香” means Something smell really good. Also I'm live in hong kong
7:06 During the weekday rush hour, trains can alternate between endpoints at Tsing Yi and Tung Chung on the Tung Chung Line, any other lines that do this?
I live in hk ,but we don’t REALLY hate the number 4 and we do have it in buildings. Food? The best of all.And for the laws of the airport,the government wanted us to be healthy and after 9/11 it was banned
#13 is one reason I hate living in LA. People here in LA and in the US in general have this negative view on public transportation. HK is good model example for metropolitan cities to follow. HK has its own issues buy don't let them distract from what they do right.
Japanese influence is highly inaccurate, it occupied for a few years but Japanese occupation was seen with much hostility due to their WW2 antics. Hong Kong (along with Tokyo) has the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. Fun fact: the cheapest Michelin restaurant in the world is in Hong Kong.
This is true. In the Second World War the Japanese invaded the colony and occupied it. They only left when the war ended and Japan had lost the war. The British returned - were welcomed back by the local people and they restored their colonial administration. They started to develop a great modern city which China was delighted to take back in 1997 in accordance with legal treaties which the British observed.
