Wala namang trip na perfect. Kahit anong galing mo sa pag-plano, may mga bagay ka pa ring makakaligtaan or hindi alam, lalo na kung first time mo. And isa sa mga karaniwang first-time destinations para sa mga Pinoy ay ang Hong Kong. Sa totoo lang, hindi naman mahirap i-explore ang Hong Kong, pero syempre, may mga bagay pa ring kailangang alam mo before you go.

“ Mahal ang Hong Kong “. Totoo yan. It was way cheaper pre pandemic. Japan is actually cheaper than HK now when it comes to eating and shopping.

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

@joannebaldonado2533 10 күн бұрын

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.

We went to HK prepandemic and stayed in Golden Crown (TST area). Very accessible sa mtr and bus specially from and to the airport. We explored the usual key areas like Ocean Park, Disneyland, Victoria Peak, Mongkok area, etc ng walang kahirap-hirap dahil ang ganda ng transpo system nla. We also purchased the amusement parks tickets in Golden Crown since they are cheaper compared to Klook. Best mont to visit is mid-March parang Baguio weather lang, sarap maglakad kc di mainit kaya maski bata na kasama ko di nagreklamo.

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 ❤️

Actually if you want to explore cheaper food with a lot of options from Asian to Western, you can stay in Kowloon area. Mong Kok, Jordan, Sham Shui Po, Prince Edward, Tai Kok Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, these are the districts where you can find various food options that typically ranging from 40-80HKD per person. That’s already a meal with really big serving. Because looking for food anywhere in HK side (Central,Sheung Wan,Kennedy Town) food prices are already higher since a lot of expats live there and the area is the business center of HK. There are a few affordable food shops like what we call here “Dai Pai Dong” or their carinderia version that some even got Michelin Star but in most cases they are super busy especially during peak hours which will eat a lot of your time while waiting for your table. Plus, if you are a tourist here in HK you will want to try their traditional food unless you want something more modern. Another tip, if you love seafood (HKG seafood cuisine is a must try) Cheung Chau, Mui Wo, Sai Kung and Lamma Island are the places to be.

@joannebaldonado2533 10 күн бұрын

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.

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.

Hi! I have watched many of your videos. I enjoyed and learned the most when you compare cities. I will be visiting HK soon that is why I stumbled on your video because I felt that though I have been in HK for three times already, I needed to be updated because it has been long I have visited HK. Another, I really wanted to see Frozen. I took note of your suggestions, but I booked in Yha Mei Ho Youth Hostel in Sham Sui Po because of the space. I booked it through Agoda. I need airport transport. Any recommendations on this since we are four? I agree that HK is expensive, but I need to see the changes in Disneyland. I agree also that one must bring his passport all the time not only for security but also for discounts. I hope you can recommend to me a hotel in Fukuoka. Should we sleep in Nagasaki for two days? I am planning to go to the Peace Museum and Huis Ten Bosch. I know you have a video on this. But where else do you recommend for a side trip. Thank you for the videos with language that is appropriate even for young audiences. God bless!

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.
