    Woo what was your favourite part?! Thank you so much for watching, as usual! 😊

    I visited HK a month ago and fell in love! Everyone I spoke to was extremely helpful and funnily enough I didn't have a single communication problem! There was an elderly guard lady at the HK Zoo who whipped out her cantonese to english translate app faster than me to guide me to the peak tram route. Honestly one of the best places I've visited! Even roaming around at 3am after partying in lan kwai fong felt so safe, cant wait to return.

    15:37 China is a country, while Hongkong is a district in China. To be precise, you are comparing the mainland and Hongkong. Chinese food varies from place to place. Beijing and Shanghai accounts for only a tiny part of it. In the mainland, there’s a province called Guangdong, sharing the similar food culture and dialect language with Hongkong.

    I am a hker who lives in Sydney for many years and you bring tear to my eyes after watching your video. It's because you make me realise that how much I miss HK. I am booking my ticket and hotel today.
  • @clusteringmiu
    I am so pleased to see people are visiting and experiencing our down-to-earth culture. Thank you for exploring the valuable cultures in this tiny city!
  • @psl1701
    It’s rare, a foreign YouTuber who makes such a detailed promotional video for Hong Kong tour recently and that arouses so many splendid comments shortly. Believe more such kind of YouTubers will come to sing for Hong Kong. Bravo 🎉🎉
  • @852twm

  • @minzy421
    I went to Hong Kong back in March this year and i really loved it! It was my first visiting Hong Kong. Watching these videos puts smile on my face and so muc memories. I stayed in Tsim Sha Tsui. I was really speechless when i saw the harbour for first time

    Pineapple bun fresh out of the oven is the best thing in the world. It’s hot and soft but the outside is so crispy. It tastes less good when it’s cold and left out for a while tho.
  • @vpau2534
    5:38 The guy wearing helmet on the screen is Anson Lo, one of the top idols, singer,actor and dancer in Hong Kong. "On" was his latest song and it's MV is playing on the wall was sponsored by his fans.

    I'm not surprised, my brother served in the US military before he returned to LA joining the LAPD until he retired, then after all these times I asked him to visit me in HK, he wasn't that interested because what he learnt from the US media HK just like an old jungle like 3rd world city, but... when he finally came ( in Sai Kung) , he was absolutely surprised by those wonderful things see met, he went for hiking, rock climbing, excellent food, nice people, and we live in a old village, it's very quiet and clean, go to the seafront every day, guess what.. after he went back to LA, few months later he bought a one way ticket back to Hong Kong and spent 4 months traveling many places in China, as I always say, people here in HK and China are hundred times happier than in lots of western countries.. trust me.. I'm a doctor ..👍👍👍 ..
  • @valeriechan4253
    I'm born and raised in Hong Kong, and I live in both Hong Kong and Australia! It's so heartwarming to see you here, thank you for an amazing video! ACCURATE REPRESENTATION of Hong Kong food!!
  • @ZUTHINA
    I was born and raised in HK but after traveling to cheaper better cities and countries, I began struggling to find myself attracted to Hong Kong. Watching videos like this makes me learn about the good side of Hong Kong again. ❤🇭🇰
