The place where you have dim sum is a very old area. Most of the buildings are more than 50 years. ( I know buildings in Europe are even older and look good😂 but Hong Kong is very humid which makes it look poor). To be honest, it's hard to renew all the buildings in a short time, because there is the heart of the city, and the price for acquisition is extremely high. The developers would prefer to choose locations outside the urban area, and you will find plenty of fancy residential buildings there.
Omg…. so many details in this video are so wrong about Hong Kong. Tea is a must for dim sum place. It is part of the traditional culture The bus doesn’t stop because you need to find the queue marking on the pavement for that particular bus route The buildings are old but not all buildings in Hong Kong look like that way. You should go to the fancier areas. You were in an old neighbourhood. Hong Kong rarely has earthquake so you don’t have to worry about that. It is the Victoria harbour not a river.
8:06 the bowl is for you to wash the tablewares, we always use the tea to wash then first, the water will pour into yhis bowl 8:47 the best steamed dim sum are no need to add extra sauce, because we want to taste the original flavor, but it is necessary for rice rolls
Welcome to hong kong Oliver !! ^^ The dirty bowl from the restaurant is actually used to clean the bowls as theres a practice to clean chopsticks / bowls / cups with tea beforehand and then throw the excess tea in the bowl~ also K11 Musea is a shopping mall/hotel XD I went there a while back and its a pretty new mall so yeah :) also omg the little hotel room is so cute what o-o So nice to see your vlog around the city :)
the jelly one dish is also my favorite food! it's one of a typical hometown cuisine for local people like me! it's called Chang Fen in Mandarin, literally means intestine-shape rice noodles😁😁
Welcome to HK, the video is pretty good but, wish vlogers like you do a bit more homework before & while you are in any country. It is a sea harbour between HK Island & Kowloon, its not a river. I guess you have old part/new parts, rich areas/ poorer area like anywhere in the world, don't look so shocked, I'm sure you have the same where you came from. K11 is a hotel/commercial bldg, the museum is in another bldg behind it. Anyway glad you had a good time.
@@oliverdadema West Kowloon cultural park is the new tourist attraction. The habour view is stunning and you can visit palace museum and watch sunset at the evening.
Talking about housing, haha... those people with expensive cars don't live in these old buildings. The area where you had lunch is just an area for food/daily shoppings (not a residential area for mid-upper class people😅). Modern apartments all come with luxury clubhouses and swimming pools. A very big contrast to what you saw.
Where you had dim sum is a very old area. Most of the people who live in that area are the elderly and low-income families, that's why you found the buildings there look dirty and old.
Even the appartments in those "dirty and old" buildings takes at least 2 million HK dollars (over a quarter million US Dollars). for like 150-200 square feet. In fact, it is almost impossible to find an appartment that costs less than 2 million HK dollars in this city, not even a tiny and dingy one. Vehicles in HK is just a fraction of cost of the real estates. Landlords/home owners in HK are super rich.
Where were u supposed to take the mini bus to? You perfectly walked past the entrance to the Nan Lian Gardens, one of most beautiful parks and nunnery right next to the bus stop!
10:35 Coffee is not expensive in the whole of China. Prices in Shanghai and Hong Kong are expensive, while in other cities, only coffee in boutique stores is expensive, and in ordinary places it does not exceed 17 yuan.
You need to order a tea, because well, it's called "tea-drinking" (yum cha) for a reason. The original dim sum is a side snack to accompany the tea. Dim sum without Chinese tea would be akin to McVitie's without English tea: it would be soulless and bland.
According to the RU-vid algo, you may get lot more hit rates if you have a different title like "My first time in one of the most westernized region of China....". the keyword is China
Sorry to tell you, but you really need to work on your Chinese subtitles; they don't really make sense~ if you need help I'm happy to freelance for you
10:39This is because in cities controlled by capitalist tycoons, people do not have the money or planning to renovate their old houses because everything based on houses, such as land, rent, and labor costs, is very expensive, and they are not subject to government planning!! People have to stay in this place or move out to cheaper places, such as Shenzhen or other cities in Guangdong Province, when buildings become old. Many Hong Kong public officials choose to move to Guangdong Province after retirement!
Watch a few video from this kid and conclude he is mostly nagging and ignorant. It's okay to not know an unfamiliar culture as opposite as Asia but please don't assume this and that based on your reference culture. Just simply ask your surrounding how this work...
Your title is not scary enough. It should read: "Hong Kong is collapsing under Chinese rule." 🤣Hong Kong has been colonized by Britain for 100 years, and China has never invaded other countries. The Qing Dynasty also lost a lot of land to Russia, and was invaded by Japan during World War II. Over the past 100 years, Hong Kong has gained huge wealth from the British.What's damning is that as long as the BBC has news about China, it's always negative. Portraying China as evil communism, a country that threatens the world.😂
You can't take the taxi when you see the road with single or double yellow line or bus stop.. and the plastic bowl is for washing your cup and chopstick. The old buliding you see in the city town cost more than 3 million. most poor people all living in the public housing but have better envoirment... vistoria harbour is a sea, not river. do not travel HK during the summer time, too hot for walking around. you seems not planning well before you travel.
A video perfectly showing what NOT to do in Hong Kong. Who the hell would queue up at a bus stop and wave for a GREEN MINIBUS to stop LOL That's stupidity. And the place is called Diamond HILL (not HALL), and the major bus stop was literally at the basement of Hollywood Plaza, as shown on Google Map. Things are expensive? Well, perhaps a bit more research before arrival would let you know that HK is the second most expensive cities in Asia (after S'pore), as the city currency is pegged to USD.
Hong Kong has the largest income inequality in China, with 80% of the economy controlled by the richest ten families, while everyone else is worse off. The vast majority of Hong Kong residents live in cage-like small condo units, i'm talking about 300 square feet for a family of 3 or 4.
I need to admit that, as Chinese , our artistic sense is far behind from European. May be we are poor in last 100 years and those building are built only focus on functionality instead of beauty. 😅
the ancient buildings are beyond compared with all he details.colors and carvings to any building from europe. They look ugly because the Chinese are trying to be what they are not, when the Chinese are prsperous, just watch out!!
Hong Kong was originally part of Guang Dong province , since year of 1840 UK imvade Hong Kong and force Qing Denasity central governmemt in Beijing illegally rent Hong Kong to UK for 99 years ,In 1997, China regained control of Hong Kong and the British aggressors withdrew from Hong Kong
