Top 7 Travel Mistakes to Avoid in HONG KONG • Filipino • The Poor Traveler 

are they really like that or tlagang galit sila sa mga pinoy? im here in Hk now and di naman ako 1st timer sa Hk tho madalas sa TST kami nagppunta then 1st time ko dito sa causeway bay. we stayed in Harbour Grand then alam ko naman masusungit sila pero kahapon may ibang nangyari. we went to an art museum malapit lang sa hotel then may nalabasan kami na field na puro rock pebbles. then naglakad kami kasi nagdidiscuss kmi ng husband ko saan kami dinnner. there were few kids cguro 2 lang then i told my kids (11 at 13 yo) na umiwas kasi baka mabato sila ng mga bata. then we went at the edge ng field. nagppulot pulot ng pebbles anak ko babae kc nabobore na daw sya. then usap kami ni hubby. suddenly, may hongkie woman na lumapit at sinita ang anak ko. galit sya sabi nya “dont do that to my son!” napalingon ako sa nak ko, sabi ko what happened, sabi ng hongkie “ shes throwing rock to my son!” e wala nman kami nakitang dumaan na bata or tao. sabi ng anak ko “ i just threw the pebble back to the field because i dont like it!” so meaning wala nman syang ginaagwa na kakaiba at wala nmang bata or tao na malapit bukod sa knila ng kuya nya. so i asked the hongkie “why are you accusing my daughter??! she disnt throw any rock to anyone! do you have proof!?” she said “yes i have proof” me: “where is your proof! show it to me! why are you accusing my daughter??!” then she continued talking but not looking to me but to my daughter, she was really picking on my daughter! then i got really angry i told her “ we came here looking for food! and we didnt hurt anyone!” then she walked away talking pa rin then i shouted to loud i was really angry “we didnt hurt your son! what is your problem??!” then i watched while she walked away wala nman syang kasamang bata or lalaki. parang may saltik sya sa pag iiisp pr sgiuro she just wanted to pick on my daughter talaga kaya inis na inis ako.

True

Better mag Taiwan now than HK...But I love HK because of Disneyland...But won't go there every year

And this vlog is also correct concerning random checking by the police. Every resident of HKG MUST be carrying their HKID all the time, if you don’t have it, your ID must be reachable within 500m from your current location otherwise we will get a penalty. This is also applicable to tourists. You SHOULD bring your passport wherever you go. HKG law is very strict. If you can’t provide your ID, then sorry. For lodging I think it’s better to look for an Airbnb. There are big flats that can accommodate large groups for the same price of getting a hotel room that can only accommodate 2pax.

Ignorant comment

Yes! Nasa Kowloon ang TST.

A little bit rainy in August

August weather in HK is horrible! Hot & humid. Better visit during the winter season esp. January or February

August is the peak of summer here in HKG. Just a reminder that HKG summer is different from Pinas. It is veeery humid here. Aside from visiting major tourist spots, I hope you try going to a public beach here. It’s worth it ❤ Just don’t visit on weekends of course it will be crowded. Lower Cheung Sha, Big Wave, Shek O, Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung. I personally recommend these options. Don’t go to Repulse, Deep Water Bay, Stanley, Middle Bay, these are all overrated and dirty.

oct and nov pinakamagandang mag travel dto di mainit at d rin malamig ang klima

Nasa argyle center mga cute na damit in mongkok

1st wk of april kami pumunta infairness madami pa sale pati malamig pa.

Marami po but u did not go to d right place in between mong kok and prince edward near the biggest flower market is a long bangketa shopping area side by side and middle are all selling clothes bags etc mostly korean, japan, china made. Temple St is the same pero mas mahal and nagtetake advantage mga ibang seller. Sham shui po is another area where in you can get crazy brand new and ukay at mga gadgets to as low as 5$ lng. In the night marami din latag mapapagod ka kapipili because buong area from A to D is latag

For shoes dami branded umpisahan mo lng mglakad from tsim sat tsui khit diretsuhin mo lng highway dami. Easy Jodan mtr exit D2 yon shopping mall dami good buy for shoes. Mong Kok you'll get crazy dami shoes n clothes

Can i bring my extension in hk

We stayed in Golden Crown too! Anlakas ng wifi...ang mura ng mga amusement park tickets...Try nyo din yon mag Hygee House maganda din near Golden Crown( laging puno ang Golden Crown e)...The best kasi near MTR station...Whenever Info to HK I booked with these 2 guesthouses ❤️

@@yasminreyes957 True. Mabilis ma-sold out Golden Crown since recommended din sya sa mga travel forums. GC is a better option compared to Chungking or Mirador - medyo shady ang vibe nitong 2 sa kin 😅

@@pilyangmaarte1551 Yes! Kami we tried to book a year ago...Fully booked talaga sila palagi 😭

Kami din dati (2008), pag bumalik uli kami sa hk, dun pa din kami hehe. Pinay pa din naanutan nyong staff o receptionist sa maghapon?

@@NellaSantos82 We were there 2018 and yes Pinay pa din ang staff.

Hi! As far as I know, the Octopus card also works on Airport Express. But booking a separate Airport Express ticket on Klook is cheaper. For example, the roundtrip to Hk station using Octopus, i think is around 220HKD. If you buy on Klook, as of this writing, it’s only 154HKD. That’s 66 HKD savings.

Ooh, ok. Got it, thank you for clarifying. Currently planning now for our HK trip with fam this Nov 2024 🙂 Always appreciate your content as we are always on the lookout for bigger/better savings + maximumnexperience when traveling

Thank you! 😃

hindi po ba maulan kapag february? okay kaya mag disneyland?

Yas. SG pa rin ang title holder haha

Mas mahal po pala yung SG? Akala ko mas mura, lalo sa transpo nila. 😅 Sa HK po, how much po ang dapat na budget? Yung may shopping plus maenjoy yung food and libot po ng lugaf? 😅

Baka kami nga yun 😅 Morning ba?

@@thepoortraveler yes. And mas matagal IO natin (Yosh) compared sa IO ni Vince. Tas cancelled flight pa ni PAL

Octopus card ang gamit dito sa hong kong, at pagkakaalam ko rabbit card naman sa thailand

Wla naman. Passport lang

Sayang! Mas ok po ung mga tickets na flexible ang date pag sa Victoria Peak talaga lalo na pag autumn/winter.

Sabay na po kayo sa amin sa September (last week na po siguro), autumn season nila yun, hindi ganun kainit at kalamig. 2008 pumunta kami dun september, sakto sa nanay ko na ayaw ng malamig na weather at hindi mainit ng bongga (december to march malamig daw paramg baguio), april to october tag ulan daw sa hk. Bahala ka pokung anu gusto mo, malamig o summer o saktohan lang na weather

esim sa klook.mas ok

Malapit sa mtr central station at cathedral ng catholic yung sakayan ng peak. My sign board naman malapit dun or magtanung na lang kayo. Di lang kami natuloy dati (2008) uso rally nuon, eh senior kasama ko. Sabi ng mga pinay na naka chikahan namin sa Central (nadaanan namin yung sakayan sana ng peak) eh my rally daw ng hapon, baka di na kami makauwi sa guest house na tinutuluyan namin pag pumunta kami duon kaya bumalik na lang kami sa TST

HK is different from China. It may be part of China but it has its own system of government. In fact many HKers detest China and The CCP as with the past protest prior to The National Security Law.

I ❤ HK!!!

HKG is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) ...just like Macau...You don't go to HKG for political reasons...but for tourism purposes....your political ideologies is immaterial to this blog...HKG is "one country, two systems"... this is different from the Mainland. I suggest you also try to read and learn about this to adjust your opinions about HKG

kung gusto po ninyo ng cheapest water sa mga dispensary po mas mura im here in hk

@@Mommymadghielittletreasure Mag alocate ka at least 80 hkd for each meal. Meyron din naman as low as 40 HKD. Yun kung sa restaurant ka kakain. Pag gusto mo mas matipid, pwede ka bumili ng cooked meals sa mga supermarket like Welcome .You just need to look around. Pag bus and train, di naman mahal ang pamasahe.

@@514broly thank you po

You can try best western hotel sa Tsim Sha Tsui. Accessible sya sa maraming destinations. super efficient ang train system Ng Hk. Mura din yung hotel. Walking distance lang sa avenue of Stars at K11 mall. Train papuntang Disneyland at Ngong Ping na Cable car.

Or sa golden crown sa tst din, mura duon mas maayos sya kaysa sa mirador at chumking mansion ba yun hehe. Pero wag mag expect ng malaking space, 2 luggage at maliit na bag keri naman sa place

Octopos card na lang po bilhin nyo, gamit namin last 2008, yan din uli gamitin namin pag sure na kaming pupunta uli

@@NellaSantos82 been in HK last week. Nag gotyme lang po kami 🙂

@@_comffee ok po❤️

This video is more intended for Filipino travellers but there are alot of videos and info on visitng HK in RU-vid.

Hi! Yes, there will be English versions of our HK videos too!

just turn on the subtitles and choose English.

Sa Metropark Hotel Mongkok sana balak namin mag stay. Dalawa lang ang mag check-in tapos susunod na lang maya-maya ang isa para 3 kami sa room.

Actually dito sa hong kong hindi naman sila strict kung ilan tao yung nasa room, base on my experience during staycation

Hi Catherine! Ang alam ko po, yes po. Meron pong Octopus Card for kids 3-11 years old na mas mura.

​@@thepoortravelersaan po naaavail yon? Sa klook din? O sa airport na upon arrival? Thank you

@@lmponteras2898yes po sa airport meron iba din po yung octopus card ng senior

Hindi na po requirements ang vaccine card dito sa hk

@@Dee_j31 thank you

Medyo malamig na rin. Pero prepare na may mga days na maulan.

Sheung Wan is an MTR station not an island. You must be referring to HK Island.

@@flip1sba ah ok, ganun pala

Sa Sheung Wan, madaming makikita na hindi common sa tourists. Tulad ng Man Mo Temple, Western Market, food streets markets, fringe clubs, at madami pang iba

@@0xastley thank you

Naku, wala pa po. Di po kami natuloy pa-US last year. 😅

Taiwan ok mga locals...they will go on their way to help you...Di ka masisisgawan😂

@@yasminreyes957 yes Taiwan kami sa October, super excited

Good enjoy!

True hindi maganda ugali ng mga taga hong kong ….. mga naka angil ang tono ng pagsasalita sa foreigner …. Wag mong hawakan ang prutas maski ma examine mo lang muna …. Kaya di ko na enjoy ang pag punta sa hong kong ….. mahal maski noon pa di naman ganoon ka worth maski ang food …..

mabait nman sila ..pero sobrang mahal ng food.mas mahal pa sa singapore.

Oo pwd peso to hkd. But maganda Atm dun ka na mag withdraw medyo mataas ang rate compared sa nagpapalit ka

​@@LucilaRendon-k2r San po pwedeng mag withdraw kagad pagka arrive po sa HK Int'l Airport?

@@thorsVirgo sa airport may mga ATM naman

Anong bank po yan? Mas malaki exchange rate nila compared to money changers? Di ba malaki kaltas ng mga bank pag ganon?

@@sLick069 yung kapatid ko kasi nagdala ng philipine money dun din cya nagpapalit. Tapos akin atm kinompare namin. Ang bank ko landbank. Charge ng withdrawal 150 pesos.

HK has natural beaches and hundreds of Hiking trails. Singapore has fake beaches and no mountains and just plain flat. Boring

@@robocop581 : I totally agree!

Nope

I agree with you. A lot of nice places to go in our own country.
