Hong Kong Travel Tips: 11 Things to Know Before You Go
11 things YOU need to know before you go to Hong Kong. A comprehensive travel guide to bring you up to speed on the Weather, Language, Getting Around, and more! Hong Kong was originally a British Colony founded in 1842, taken over by China in 1997. Hong Kong’s Official Name is the “Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.” In Chinese Hong Kong Means “Fragrant Harbor.” Hong Kong is Famous for Skyscrapers (it has 8,000 of them), but 40% of it’s land is park and nature preserve
Hong Kong has 3 main areas, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories
But in total it has 263 islands
2 - Weather
Hong Kong's climate is sub-tropical, with temperatures dropping below 10 degrees Celsius in winter and exceeding 31 degrees Celsius in summer
Pretty humid all year round
May to November is typhoon season
June & August are the wettest
January and December are the dryest
3. Getting In
Likely flying in to Hong Kong International Airport - HKG.
It’s on Lantau Island, and its HUGE! The size of 20 soccer fields.
You can fly to almost anywhere in the world from Hong Kong (more than 100 airlines operate 1,100 daily flights to and from 190 destinations worldwide)
Cathay Pacific is Hong Kong’s home airline and has won “World’s Best Airline” four times – more than any other.
Airport Express train to Central - Its just 24 minutes, and leaves every 10 minutes
You can buy a round trip airport Express and Octopus card for 3 days unlimited MTR for $350
Taxi one way to Hong Kong Island would be about $400 HKD and take 45 mins to an hour
4. Unlucky
This number omitted because it’s unlucky. 4 in Chinese sounds like the word for “Death.” Most buildings typically omit this floor.
5. Getting Around
By public transit—it's efficient, clean, and affordable
First things first, buy an Octopus Card -- It works on almost everything, even to get you in to the Hong Kong Horse Racetrack
MTT - Subway
Star Ferry - About $3 HKD, Upper Deck & Weekends cost a bit more.
Tram - Ding Ding - $2.60
Double Decker Bus
Mini Bus
Taxi - Relatively inexpensive, but can be hard to hail during rush hour, or a rainy day, or shift change between 3-4pm.
Don’t try to hail a cab if you see double yellow lines by the curb. Taxis can only stop if there is a single line—or none at all.
Uber
6. Money
Hong Kong Dollar
Exchange Rate fixed to the USD. 1 USD = HK$7.75–7.85
Most places take Visa/Mastercard
40% take AMEX
Lots of ATMS -- Hong Kong is a huge financial center after all
Bills: Issued by 3 different banks, so you’ll see 3 different designs for all the bills
HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500 and HK$1000
Coins:
7. Language
2 Official Languages
1.Chinese, (Spoken Cantonese)
2. English
In the major urban districts, most residents will speak English but Cantonese is the local language
If you think you’re planning to learn a little Cantonese before you go… it’s not easy… it has nine tones.
8. Shopping
Shops often stay open late… none of this European 6pm closing time… think 9 or 10pm closing times for most shops and malls
9. Food:
Cantonese Food
And it’s all about sharing, portions are big and made for big groups
Dim sum originated here in southern China and means “touch the heart”. These tiny bites of goodness were created as snack food for travellers and today are an essential part of local culture.
Dim Sum
Hong Kong Milk Tea
Dai Pai Dong, Fast Food Noodle Shops, are common sites in Hong Kong offering an inexpensive bowl of noodles for around HK$20 and free tea
Bones -- yes, lots of the local food has bones it. At the casual restaurants you can just put the bones on the table. At a fancier restaurant use the saucer plate beneath your bowl
Tea -- Need a refill for your teapot? Turn the lid upside down.
Like to avoid the crowds? Then avoid eating lunch between 1-2pm, that’s the typical Hong Kong lunch hour
10. Feng Shui
The mystical art of feng shui is still common practice in Hong Kong -- wondering why a building’s architecture looks weird? The answer usually has to do with Feng Shui… that might be why your hotel lobby has a water feature and some goldfish in it too!

Soak Up the Sun On Hong Kong’s Outdoor Slice of Paradise
The only thing better than immersing yourself in the lightning-paced lifestyle of a major metropolitan city is pulling yourself right back out of it. At least for a little bit. Lamma Island is a go-to rest and relaxation spot for locals and tourists and anyone else trying to get far away from horns and sirens (truly, there isn’t a single car on the whole rock). The ferry to Sok Kwu Wan pier drops you right near the Lamma Fisherfolk Village, where you can get your hands dirty and learn to fish the old-fashioned way from a retired local angler. If you’re more into eating fish than catching them, make a reservation at legendary seafood restaurant Lamma Rainbow and they’ll shuttle you to the island for free to gorge yourself on butter-fried lobster and honey-pepper crab. After dinner—or maybe you took a power nap on Hung Shing Yeh beach—grab a glass of wine on Yung Shue Wan Main Street and soak up more of that sweet, sweet silence.

Bangkok Balling on a Budget
As a birthday treat for my wife, I thought I would book a staycation at Bangkok riverside. On my budget, I was expecting a certain standard; I was not expecting to find the Royal Orchid Sheraton at such an amazing deal - so I booked two interconnecting rooms for two nights. How much did I play for this old school elegance?? Watch the video and find out!
Located on Captain Bush Lane, Charoen Krung Soi 30, right next to the Portuguese Embassy, this hotel oozes style and class. The breakfast is fantastic, the room service more than decent and the grounds sumptuous and inviting - I even chucked a ball about like an American for a while. This really was balling on a budget.
