Q & A
What would you have changed?
As a local - I'd say stay longer and squeeze in more hikes!
Anything go wrong during the trip?
Never underestimate the queues in Hong Kong and avoid the peak lunch and dinner hours (12:30 - 1:30 pm and 7:30 - 9pm)
How was the food?
Save your stomach some space for street food in Argyle Center!
What tips would you give a friend?
Hong Kong is a cash based city, so make sure you hit the ATM before you start the day.
Packing tips?
Hong Kong tends to be quite hot but the air conditioning inside malls and restaurants are strong. So bring a cardigan or a wrap when you are out.
Transportation Tips?
Get an Octopus Card which can be used for all forms of transport in Hong Kong, and you can also use it to buy food and things.
Any surprises?
Hiking in Hong Kong is always a pleasant surprise and should not be missed!
