City Guide Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a very impressive city. it sleeps in the morning but is awake in the nicght!! The only problem is that its very expensive to sleep, eat and drink (compared to mainland china).

Insider Tip:there is a nice view over honk kong island in Wooloomooloo bar, wan chai. one beer is about 80 hongkong dollars!! but its worth the money (at least one beer). In Lockhart road (a few meters after "mes amis" going west)were a club where u could drink a wodka mixed with what u like for 10 dollars. i´ve forgotten the name of the club...

Best place for food and shopping

Hong Kong is always crowded, no matter where you are: the streets, malls, train stations, road side, rows of shops, and road sides especially in HK island and Kowloon area. HK local foods are awesome but it got me bloated and had indigestion (probably I tried too much of them) due to lack of greens in every single meal (most of their foods are starch based: dim sum, dumplings, noodles, rice, bakery goods, biscuits, pastries, etc). Even a bbq pork rice only consists of two strands of vegs!

Insider Tip:Always wear comfortable shoes and carry enough water. You will get dehydrated from the highly seasoned local foods and humid weather. Wear light material clothes and always book your accommodation early because they are crazily expensive!

HK HK. not for leisure

I went to the buzzling city of HK mainly to visit friends, but it has not been an easy place to stay. Fortunately I got some friends to take care of me.

Simply the best

You'll find everything in Hong Kong - big city, small villages, clean and empty beaches, lakes, mountains, islands, culture, nightlife, shopping, etc. If you want to experience it all you will need at least a week in this fantastic, but expensive place.

Insider Tip:Victoria Peak is a must! You'll have the best view over the harbor from there, especially at night. If you want to save money and not take the peak tram (the view from it is not special), you can take public no. 15 or green minibus no. 1. Both go to the peak from the Central district.

good location, easy access and variety of food in surrounding area

just 40mins bus from the airport. close to main shopping area, can't expect much more for a HKD200 bed in central hong kong

Insider Tip:taking A11 is faster and cheaper than taking airport express as the hostel is just 1min walk away from the bus stop
