Our First time in Hong Kong!
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China.
We walked our way from Avenue of Stars overlooking Victoria Harbour, all the way to a traditional market called the Ladies Market in Kowloon. Then we took the subway to go to Hong Kong Island, and to Victoria Peak. We knew that Hong Kong is a concrete jungle, with the most skyscrapers in the world. But we did not expect it to be so green! we were pleasantly surprised by the view from The Peak. We also tasted some popular food from Hong Kong like pineapple bun, egg tarts, and even went to a Michelin star restaurant for some wonton noodle. Check out our first impressions of Hong Kong.
We ate at Tsim Chai Kee Restaurant (Michelin Star)
Don't do what we did...standing in line to buy the tram ticket. Instead, buy your Victoria Peak tram ticket online , and skip the line: affiliate.klook.com/redirect?aid=47520&aff_adid=79โฆ

Since I'm from Hong Kong, I thought I'd address some of the curiosities raised in this video:
1. The numbers and colours on the metro signage are a relic from the MTR network's simpler days, when there were only 2-3 lines. In fact, the colour is what represents the line, and the numbers are only the platform numbers which differ from station to station. With so many lines today, there are too many colours to make the signage intuitive.
2. Underwater tunnels--for aesthetic and climate reasons, there are no bridges across Hong Kong's main harbour. So there are 3 road tunnels and 4 railway tunnels running underneath. In this video, you crossed the harbour between Tsim Sha Tsui and Admiralty. The tunnels are built with one of two methods: Prefab concrete tube sections sunk and then sealed, or tunnel boring machines.
3. The quick-moving crowds at the Peak Tram station are the result of a major renovation which completely shut down the Tram service for a year and a half. Before 2022, the stations and the train cars were smaller and the queues ALWAYS stretched far outside, which meant it was bloody living hell to get into during the humid summers. The difference is night and day as you saw.
4. The British-looking taxi (Toyota Comfort Hybrid) is a much needed replacement for the older taxis, which date back to the early 1990s and are not up to modern safety standards. The new ones started appearing in 2018 and will steadily replace all older taxis. They look like London taxis because of the extra-tall cabin. But unlike London taxis, these babies have got sliding doors!
5. Bamboo scaffolding--the climate and pace of construction work in Hong Kong lend well to this cheaper and more flexible method of scaffolding. Since bamboo is an organic material, it does decay and cannot withstand very cold temperatures. So, it works great in tropical climates, and assuming proper care over time.
6. Worn-looking buildings are primarily due to pollution exacerbated by humidity, and the fact that postwar tenements were very basic without facilities to maintain the exteriors. Surfaces were either bare concrete, paint or tile, all of which are rough and easily trap contaminants. In the early 2010s, the government financed a one-time exterior refresh of older buildings. Trust me--they looked even worse before ๐คฃ
If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of an infrastructure geek ๐ Hope it's at least somewhat useful.

The bamboo scaffolding is used because it is safer in the typhoon season. Much safer than having steel polls falling fron the skyscrapers. ๐

Have lived in many cities and the MTR in HK has to be the most efficient and frequently run subway system of all.

I was in Hong Kong in the โ70s. I love that city and would like to revisit. I took the Star Ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong island. I would still do that. Iโm 83 now. But I will still visit Hong Kong in the future. It is so changed but I still love it.

HK is not only great for city walks. We also have a lot of beautiful and weโll-maintained hiking trails both in the city and the countryside.

I so miss Hong Kong. I lived there in the late 70's and went back in 2009. What a change. One thing never changes though. Whenever I leave, I cry my heart out. Looking forward to going back for a long stay. โฃ

Pineapple buns are called that not because there's any pineapples inside but because the original pineapple buns had a cracked crust topping that resemble a pineapple skin texture. The one you guys got didn't really have that cracked top crust so nothing pineapple about it. ๐

Get this. When I came in 2000 from Toronto, the MTR only had 6 lines. Blue, Red, Green, Orange to Tung Chung and Green to the airport. In 23 years, 6 additional lines added, over 100km of new track and installed platform glass walls and doors in all in-city metro stations. During this time, Toronto only built 5.5km called Line 4 Sheppard Line. ๐๐๐ What a joke. I remember The City were talking about this Sheppard line since the 90s.

I lived there for three years as well as five years in Mainland China. I just love both.

The underground (MTR) you were on was built in the 1970s. Apart from Tokyo, we were the first to have an underground transport systems in Asia

Watching this video brings back a lot of good memories I have from Hong Kong. It's such a great city! Can't wait to go back myself. And who would have thought you can see wild boars in a city like Hong Kong ๐ณ๐

The escalators reverses according to different time of the day for different needs. It goes down in the morning when people go to work in central and, goes up in the afternoon/evening when people go home from central.

Welcome to HK. We love our city and proud to be Hong Kongers and we hope you enjoy your stay. BTW the Tram is the quickest way to the Peak.

First of all, Happy New Year to you guys.
My late mother used to work in HK in the year 1960s and that's where she learns speaking Cantonese (we are Fuzhou from Sarawak East Malaysia) and still able to speak the same though did not use it for decades already when she visited KL.

Enjoy! HKG is my happy place. Canโt wait to be back so your video brings back again - so many happy memories.
