We\u2019ve all heard the name and visualized what this massive metropolis looks and feels like, but to my utter amazement, Hong Kong had a very different vibe than I expected. Here are ten facts about Hong Kong\u00a0that you might not already know from my last visit…
\nIf you’re more visual, you can also check out this video<\/a> which highlights the same 10 interesting facts about Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s not as urban as you may think<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you think of a city with a population of 7.2 million people you think of a concrete jungle with buildings as far as the eye can see. However, when we crossed the airport bridge into the city, I was amazed when I saw what looked more like Miami than Mumbai. The city was surrounded by beaches with vast mountain landscapes behind it. The sun glistened on the water as the sailboats cruised on by, lined with greenery and forest. I was very pleasantly surprised.

2. They don\u2019t speak\u00a0Mandarin in Hong Kong<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hong Kong prides itself on being different from China. And that mentality runs throughout many aspects of life, one of which is language. In mainland China the vast majority of people speak Mandarin, while in Hong Kong most people speak Cantonese (even though many people will understand both languages.)<\/p>\n

3. Almost everybody speaks perfect English<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hong Kong is one of the trade capitals of the world, and as a result, pretty much everybody we met spoke perfect English. Unlike China, Hong Kong requires all students to learn English as another language in primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n

4. Hong Kong is Amazing for Hiking and Walking Trails<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With dozens of walking trails just outside of the city, many botanical gardens to explore, and even day trip adventures at the beach, Hong Kong is full of nature-based activities. You can also drive along the lush green coast to find smaller harbours that will serve fresh seafood from the tank straight to your plate.
\n\"One<\/p>\n

5. It\u2019s not as expensive as you think<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After exploring all over Asia, I can attest that Hong Kong is not terribly expensive. Venture to places like Tokyo, Singapore, or Australia if you want to burn a hole in your wallet. There are lots of marketplaces in HK where you can pick up a delicious meal for under $5. Also, skytrain, tram and boat transport is all priced very reasonable.<\/p>\n

6. Hong Kong has one of the highest bungee jumps in the world<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, that\u2019s right. Venture to the island of Macau (aka \u201cthe Las Vegas of China\u201d) to find massive casinos, and of course, to jump off of Sky Tower. At 233 meters you will free fall for a whopping 8 seconds before feeling any resistance. The price is just as high as the jump unfortunately. Starting rates are USD $500 for the bungee option. Yes, they fully capitalize on adventure junkys like us. And it worked.

7. They have successfully knocked down the \u201cGreat Firewall of China\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As you may know, China has blocked our beloved Google, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and Skype. This has given rise to what are called Virtual Private Networks (or \u201cVPN\u2019s\u201d) to allow people to sneak past the Chinese government and log in. However, Hong Kong is a full believer in the use of all these websites.<\/p>\n

8. They have their own currency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cChinese Yuan? No thanks\u201d says Hong Kong. They are all about their Hong Kong dollar. Supposedly, there are also many perks of being in the import \/ export business in Hong Kong as they have different regulations on taxes and tariffs. But long story short, make sure you exchange your money into the right currency before entering. Also note that if you do visit Macau, it has a different dollar and involves currency conversion as well.

9. The nightlife draws a truly international crowd<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For all backpackers interested in nightlife, the words \u201cLan Kwai Fong\u201d will find a special place in your heart. This party district is BUMPIN\u2019 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Just walking around you will meet people from London, Dubai, Paris, New York, Cape Town, and literally every corner of the planet. There are tons of little bars to enjoy, but our favourite was \u201cClub 7\u201d (aka the 7-11 store). As drinking is allowed on the streets, this is a backpacker favourite and the best way to enjoy the night and stay on budget.
\n\"Drinking<\/p>\n

10. It could be a place to call home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, that\u2019s how passionate I am about this incredible city. If I needed a place to live in Asia, what better place to call home than Hong Kong. The epicentre of flights, culture, foods, parties, activities, and all for a reasonable price. There is a large expat community in Hong as well, which makes it one of the best options for expats in Asia.
\n 
\nHong Kong is a great place to visit on a trip through Asia. Most of the time you only need a few days to explore the main attractions and get out to one of the amazing Hong Kong hiking trails. For those who want to dig a little deeper, there is a vibrant expat community, world-class shopping and plenty of ways to keep your entertained for a longer stay.
